I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    The revisions promulgated in this final rule apply to industries
that are subject to the current provisions of 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 51, 60, and 63. We did not list all of the
specific affected industries or their North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes herein since there are many
affected sources in numerous NAICS categories. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult either the air permitting authority for the entity or
your EPA Regional representative as listed in 40 CFR 63.13.

B. What action is the agency taking?

    We are promulgating corrections and updates to regulations for
source testing of emissions. More specifically, we are correcting
typographical and technical errors, updating obsolete testing
procedures, adding approved testing alternatives, and clarifying
testing requirements.

C. Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), judicial review
of this final rule is available by filing a petition for review in the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by
January 14, 2019. Under section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA, only an
objection to this final rule that was raised with reasonable
specificity during the period for public comment can be raised during
judicial review. Moreover, under section 307(b)(2) of the CAA, the
requirements that are the subject of this final rule may not be
challenged later in civil or criminal proceedings brought by the EPA to
enforce these requirements.

II. Background

    The revisions to testing regulations for air emission sources were
proposed in the Federal Register on January 26, 2018 (83 FR 3636). The
public comment period ended March 27, 2018, and 83 comment letters were
received from the public; 23 of the comment letters were relevant, and
the other 60 comment letters were considered beyond the scope of the
proposed rule. This final rule was developed based on public comments
that the agency received on the proposed rule.

III. Summary of Amendments

A. Method 201A of Appendix M of Part 51

    In Method 201A, in section 12.5, the denominator of equation 24 is
corrected

as proposed; the proposed c'p in the denominator is changed
to Cp' to be consistent with the nomenclature in section
12.1. The cp in the numerator is changed to Cp
also to be consistent with the nomenclature in section 12.1.

B. Method 204 of Appendix M of Part 51

    In Method 204, in section 8.2, the statement regarding equation
204-2 is corrected to ``The NEAR must be <=0.05,'' as proposed.

C. Method 205 of Appendix M of Part 51

    In Method 205, section 2.1.1 is revised to allow the use of
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-traceable
transfer standards to calibrate the gas dilution system as proposed.
The agency continues to believe that these standards are widely
available and provide the accuracy necessary to perform the
calibration. Section 2.1.1 is also revised as proposed to require
testers to report the results of the calibration of the dilution system
to enable the regulatory authority to review this information.

D. General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 60

    In the General Provisions of part 60, Sec.  60.17(h) is revised as
proposed to add ASTM D6216-12 to the list of incorporations by
reference and to re-number the remaining consensus standards that are
incorporated by reference in alpha-numeric order.

E. Fossil-Fuel-Fired Steam Generators (Subpart D) Part 60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
60.46(b)(2)(i) is not revised. Based on comments we received on the
proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing the proposed revisions
of the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating
systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.

F. Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (Subpart Da) Part 60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
60.50Da (b)(1)(ii)(A) is not revised. Based on comments we received on
the proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing the proposed
revisions of the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder
heating systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.

G. Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units (Subpart
Db) Part 60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
60.46b(d)(4) is not revised. Based on comments we received on the
proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing the proposed revisions
of the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating
systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.

H. Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units
(Subpart Dc) Part 60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
60.45c(a)(5) is not revised. Based on comments we received on the
proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing the proposed revisions
of the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating
systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.

I. Municipal Waste Combustors for Which Construction is Commenced After
December 20, 1989 and on or Before September 20, 1994 (Subpart Ea) Part
60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
60.58a(b)(3) is not revised. Based on comments we received on the
proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing the proposed revisions
of the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating
systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.

J. Glass Manufacturing Plants (Subpart CC) Part 60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperatures in
Sec. Sec.  60.293(f) and 60.296(d)(2) are not revised. Based on
comments we received on the proposed revisions, we are deferring
finalizing the proposed revisions of the temperature tolerances of
probe and filter holder heating systems as part of this rulemaking. We
will continue to review supporting information and data we received on
the proposed rule and may propose either revisions or similar
requirements as part of future rulemakings.

K. New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and
Forced-Air Furnaces (Subpart QQQQ) Part 60

    In subpart QQQQ, in Method 28WHH, in section 13.5.1, equation 8 is
corrected as proposed.

L. Method 2B of Appendix A-1 of Part 60

    In Method 2B, in section 12.1, the definition of ambient carbon
dioxide concentration is revised as proposed. The agency continues to
believe that the global monthly mean (CO2)a
concentration varies over time. Also, a website link is added to the
definition as specified at proposal.

M. Method 5 of Appendix A-3 of Part 60

    In a change from proposal, allowed filter temperatures in Method 5,
sections 2.0, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, and 8.5 are not revised. Based
on comments we received on the proposed revisions, we are deferring
finalizing the proposed revisions of the temperature tolerances of
probe and filter holder heating systems as part of this rulemaking. We
will continue to review supporting information and data we received on
the proposed rule and may propose either revisions or similar
requirements as part of future rulemakings.
    Section <IP_ADDRESS> is revised as proposed to allow the use of a single
temperature sensor in lieu of two temperature sensors on the dry gas
meter as allowed by Technical Information Document 19 (TID-19) and the
approved broadly applicable alternative, ALT-117 (see https://www.epa.gov/emc). Consistent with our response to the comment regarding
allowing flexibility for the weighing container in section 11.2.1,
Method 5B, the first sentence in section 11.2.1, Method 5 is revised
similarly.

N. Method 5B of Appendix A-3 of Part 60

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperatures in
Method 5B, sections 2.0, 6.1, and 8.2 are not revised. Based on
comments we received on the proposed revisions, we are deferring
finalizing the proposed revisions of the temperature tolerances of
probe and filter holder heating

systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.
    Section 11.0 is revised as proposed to replace the reference to
Method 5, section 11.0 with specific analytical procedures and to
report the results using Figure 5B-1 for complete data review. Section
17.0 is revised as proposed to delete the word ``Reserved'' from the
title, and Figure 5B-1 (Analytical Data Sheet) is added.

O. Method 5I of Appendix A-3 of Part 60

    In a change from proposal, Method 5I, sections 2.1 and <IP_ADDRESS> are
not revised to tighten the allowed filter temperatures. Based on
comments we received on the proposed revisions, we are deferring
finalizing the proposed revisions of the temperature tolerances of
probe and filter holder heating systems as part of this rulemaking. We
will continue to review supporting information and data we received on
the proposed rule and may propose either revisions or similar
requirements as part of future rulemakings.

P. Method 7 of Appendix A-4 of Part 60

    In Method 7, sections 10.1.2 and 11.3 reference erroneous sections;
the correct section is inserted, as proposed. The proposed referenced
section <IP_ADDRESS> is changed to 10.1.1 to include procedures in both
sections <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>.

Q. Method 8 of Appendix A-4 of Part 60

    As proposed, Method 8, sections <IP_ADDRESS> through <IP_ADDRESS> are
renumbered to <IP_ADDRESS> through <IP_ADDRESS>; a new section <IP_ADDRESS> is added
to clarify the requirements that apply to the probe nozzle; and, in
response to comments, Figure 8-1 (Sulfuric Acid Sampling Train) is
corrected by: (1) Modifying the impinger graphics to make it consistent
with the text in section <IP_ADDRESS> and (2) revising the proposed label S-
Type Pitot Tube to Type S Pitot Tube for consistency. The proposed
first sentence in section <IP_ADDRESS> is revised to ``Borosilicate or
quartz glass with a sharp, tapered leading edge and coupled to the
probe liner using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or glass-lined union
(e.g., fused silica, Silico, or equivalent).'' Based on a public
comment that recommended adding Silco coated stainless steel unions as
an option for Teflon unions, and for consistency with other test
methods, we have replaced Teflon with the generic option
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

R. Method 18 of Appendix A-6 of Part 60

    In Method 18, in section 13.1, the erroneous paragraph (c)
designation is re-designated as (b), as proposed.

S. Method 22 of Appendix A-7 of Part 60

    In Method 22, sections 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 are revised as proposed to
allow digital photography to be used for a subset of the recordkeeping
requirements. As proposed, section 11.2.3 is added to specify the
requirements for digital photographic records. In response to comments
on the proposal, the next to the last sentence in section 11.2.3
regarding photographs that must be taken within 15 minutes of the
observation period is revised from the proposal, and another sentence
is added to provide clarity. The revised and new sentences read: ``The
photograph(s) representing the environmental conditions including the
sky conditions and the position of the sun relative to the observer and
the emission point must be taken within a reasonable time of the
observation (i.e., 15 minutes). When observations are taken from
exactly the same observation point on a routine basis (e.g., daily) and
as long as there are no modifications to the units depicted, only a
single photograph each day is necessary to document the observer's
location relative to the emissions source, the process unit being
observed, and the location of potential and actual emission points.''
The agency notes that ALT-109 (see https://www.epa.gov/emc) is the
associated broadly applicable alternative that allows the use of
digital photographs for specific recordkeeping requirements.

T. Method 26 of Appendix A-8 of Part 60

    As proposed, Method 26, section 6.2.2 is revised to allow the use
of glass sample storage containers as an option to allow flexibility
and to be consistent with Method 26A. The proposed title of section
6.2.2, ``Storage Bottles,'' is changed to ``Storage Containers'' to be
consistent with the language in section 6.2.2.

U. Method 26A of Appendix A-8 of Part 60

    As proposed, in Method 26A, section 6.2.1 is revised to remove the
language regarding sample storage containers. In response to comments
on our proposal, we have determined that high-density polyethylene is
an acceptable material for sample storage containers in addition to the
currently allowed glass. Therefore, in a new section 6.2.4., we have
specified that both high-density polyethylene and glass are acceptable
sample storage containers.

V. Test Method 28WHH of Appendix A-8 of Part 60

    In Test Method 28WHH, equation 8 in section 13.5.1 is corrected, as
proposed.

W. Performance Specification 1 of Appendix B of Part 60

    As proposed, in Performance Specification 1, references to ASTM
D6216-98 (in sections 2.1, 3.1, 6.1, 8.1(1), 8.1(3)(ii), 8.2(1),
8.2(2), 8.2(3), 9.0, 12.1, 13.0, 13.1, 13.2, and 16.0 paragraph 8) are
replaced with ASTM D6216-12. As noted at proposal, if the initial
certification of the continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) has
already occurred using D6216-98, D6216-03, or D6216-07, it will not be
necessary to recertify using D6216-12. In response to comments on our
decision to add ASTM D6216 to the list of consensus standards, the
April 1998 publication date for ASTM D6216 in paragraph 8 in section
16.0 is replaced with October 2012, the ASTM D6216-12 publication date.
In response to comments, for consistency with section 2.1, and for
purposes of clarification, the note at the end of section 2.1 is added
to section 13.0.

X. Performance Specification 2 of Appendix B of Part 60

    In Performance Specification 2, section 13.2 is replaced with a
table that indicates the relative accuracy performance specifications,
as proposed. Given that the equals to (=) signs were erroneously
omitted from several of the < and > values during publication of the
table in the proposed rule, these values have been corrected.

Y. Performance Specification 3 of Appendix B of Part 60

    In Performance Specification 3, the two sentences in section 12.0
that read, ``Calculate the arithmetic difference between the RM and the
CEMS output for each run. The average difference of the nine (or more)
data sets constitute the RA.'' are deleted, as proposed; these two
sentences are no longer necessary since equations 3-1 and 3-2 would be
moved from section 13.2 to section 12.0. The sentence, ``Calculate the
RA using equations 3-1 and 3-2.'' is added to the beginning of section
12.0.

Z. Performance Specification 11 of Appendix B of Part 60

    In Performance Specification 11, section 13.1, the word ``average''
erroneously exists in the second sentence and is deleted, as proposed.

AA. Performance Specification 15 of Appendix B of Part 60

    As proposed, in Performance Specification 15, section 13.0 is added
as ``Method Performance [Reserved].''

BB. Performance Specification 18 of Appendix B of Part 60

    As proposed, in Performance Specification 18, in section 11.8.7,
the last sentence is revised to clarify the duration of the drift
check. In Table 1, the erroneous acronym ``NO2'' is replaced
with ``NO,'' as proposed. In the appendix of Performance Specification
18, the inadvertently omitted reserved section 12.0 is added, as
proposed.

CC. Procedure 1 of Appendix F of Part 60

    As proposed, in Procedure 1, in section 5.1.2 (1), the sentence
immediately following the table that reads, ``Challenge the CEMS three
times at each audit point, and use the average of the three responses
in determining accuracy.'' is replaced with, ``Introduce each of the
audit gases, three times each for a total of six challenges. Introduce
the gases in such a manner that the entire CEMS is challenged. Do not
introduce the same gas concentration twice in succession.'' In order to
obtain six distinct readings during the cylinder gas audit (CGA), the
same gas must not be introduced twice in succession, and this revised
language accurately reflects this standard scientific practice. As also
proposed, in section 5.1.2 (3), the reference to EPA's traceability
protocol for gaseous calibration standards is updated, and the language
regarding the use of EPA Method 205 for dilution of audit gases is
clarified.

DD. General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 63

    Sections 63.7(g)(2), 63.7(g)(2)(v), and 63.8(e)(5)(i) of the
General Provisions (subpart A) of part 63 are revised, as proposed, to
require the reporting of specific test data for continuous monitoring
system performance evaluation tests and ongoing quality assurance (QA)
tests. These data elements are required regardless of the format of the
report, i.e., electronic or paper. These modifications will ensure that
performance evaluation and QA test reporting include all data necessary
for the compliance authority to assess and assure the quality of the
reported data and that the reported information describes and
identifies the specific unit covered by the evaluation test report. In
response to comment, we specified the level of reporting needed for
continuous parameter monitoring systems (CPMS) versus other continuous
monitoring systems including continuous emission monitoring systems
(CEMS), COMS, and predictive emissions monitoring systems (PEMS).

EE. Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing (Subpart NNN) Part 63

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
63.1385(a)(5) is not revised. Based on comments we received on the
proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing proposed revisions of
the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating systems
as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review supporting
information and data we received on the proposed rule and may propose
either revisions or similar requirements as part of future rulemakings.

FF. Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers
and Process Heaters (Subpart DDDDD) Part 63

    As proposed, in Table 6 of subpart DDDDD, row 1.f. is revised to
allow the use of EPA SW-846-7471B (for liquid samples) in addition to
EPA SW-846-7470A for measuring mercury to allow for compliance
flexibility.

GG. Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units
(Subpart UUUUU) Part 63

    In a change from proposal, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
63.10010(h)(7)(i)(1) is not revised. Based on comments we received on
the proposed revisions, we are deferring finalizing proposed revisions
of the temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating
systems as part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review
supporting information and data we received on the proposed rule and
may propose either revisions or similar requirements as part of future
rulemakings.
    As proposed, in Table 5, Method 5I is specified as a test method
option because, as explained at proposal, Method 5I is designed for low
particulate matter (PM) application.

HH. Method 303 of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 303, section 12.4, equation 303-3 is corrected, as
proposed, by inserting ``where y = '' in front of the equation.

II. Method 308 of Appendix A of Part 63

    As proposed, in Method 308, deionized distilled water replaces the
aqueous n-proponal solution; the affected sections are 2.0, 7.2.2,
<IP_ADDRESS>, and 11.3.2. Section 7.2.2, which defines the aqueous n-
proponal solution, is removed, as proposed. In section <IP_ADDRESS>, the
erroneous ``four'' is replaced as proposed, with ``three'' in the
sentence that reads ``Pipette 5, 15, and 25 ml of this standard,
respectively into four 50-ml volumetric flasks.'' Section 8.1.2 is
revised, as proposed, to require a leak check prior to the sampling run
(in addition to after the sampling run) for QA purposes; as explained
at proposal, requiring a leak check prior to the sampling run would
potentially save time and money. In section 9.1, methanol spike
recovery check is added as a quality control (QC) measure in Table 9.1,
as proposed. In section 12.1, variables used in equations 308-4 and
308-5 are added and section 12.5, which includes equations 308-4 and
308-5, is added, as proposed. In section 13.0, the title ``Reserved''
is replaced with ``Method Performance'' and QA requirements would be
added to be consistent with other methods, as proposed. The erroneous
proposed paragraph (a) of section 13.0 is replaced, as proposed, with
``Calibration standards must meet the requirements in section 10.2.1 or
10.2.2 as applicable.''

JJ. Method 320 of Appendix A of Part 63

    In section <IP_ADDRESS>, the denominator in equation 2 is corrected from
PSS to PS, as proposed. In section 9.2.3, the
word ``where'' in the statement, ``Calculate the dilution ratio using
the tracer gas as follows: where:'' is deleted, as proposed. Also in
section 9.2.3, the inadvertently superscripted ``dir'' on the
definition of spike is subscripted, as proposed.

KK. Method 323 of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 323, section 12.9, the denominator in equation 323-8 is
corrected, as proposed.

LL. Method 325A of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 325A, section <IP_ADDRESS> is revised, as proposed, to clarify
that only one extra sampling site is required near known sources of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when the source is located both
within 50 meters of the boundary and between two monitors. Based on a
public comment we received on the proposed regulatory text, wording
changes have been made to the language in section <IP_ADDRESS>. As proposed,
the label under Figure 8.1 is corrected from ``Refinery (20% angle)''
to ``Refinery (20[deg] angle).'' Section <IP_ADDRESS> is revised, as
proposed, to include facilities with a monitoring perimeter length
equal to 7,315 meters (24,000 feet). Section <IP_ADDRESS> is added, as

proposed, to provide clarification and an equivalent procedure in
Option 2 (linear distance between sites) for site locations that
parallel section <IP_ADDRESS>.4 in Option 1 (radial distance between sites).
In response to comments, section 8.4.3 is added to address worker
safety during extenuating circumstances.

MM. Method 325B of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 325B, section 9.3.2 is revised, as proposed, to correct
an error in the number of field blank samples required for a sampling
period and to provide consistency with the sample analysis required in
Method 325B. In sections 9.13 and <IP_ADDRESS>, the erroneous reference to
section 10.6.3 is corrected to 10.0, as proposed. Also in section
<IP_ADDRESS>, the erroneous reference to section 10.9.5 is corrected to
9.13, as proposed. Section 12.2.2 is revised, as proposed, to correct
the calculation of target compound concentrations at standard
conditions, and the erroneous reference to Ustd in the note
in section 12.2.2 is revised to UNTP. Sections 12.2.3 and
12.2.4 are deleted, as proposed, because the equations for target
concentrations are incorrect. Table 17-1 is revised, as proposed, to
add inadvertently omitted QC criteria from section 9.3.3.

IV. Public Comments on the Proposed Rule

    Eighty-three (83) comment letters were received from the public; 23
of the comment letters were relevant, and the other 60 comment letters
were considered as beyond the scope of the proposed rule. The public
comments and the agency's responses are summarized in the Response to
Comments document located in the docket for this rule. See the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
    A summary of the relevant portions of significant comments that we
received on the proposal and agency responses are presented below.
    Comment: Three commenters provided comments on our proposed
revisions to the General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 63. One
commenter stated that the proposed revisions impose new requirements on
CMS performance evaluations and QA testing for types of monitors not
previously subject to such requirements. Another commenter remarked
that the proposed revisions to various requirements in Part 63
revisions were vague. Yet another commenter remarked that the proposed
revisions to Sec.  63.8(e)(5) would shorten the CMS performance
evaluation reporting period for CMS associated with performance tests.
    Response: We disagree with the comment that the proposed changes to
Sec.  63.8(e)(5)(i) would impose new requirements given that at
proposal, the agency had explained that they were intended to clarify
and codify data elements and reporting requirements that are already
routinely requested by the Administrator's delegated authorities. With
regard to Sec.  63.8(e)(5), in a change from proposal, we have retained
the existing requirement that allows for the simultaneous submission of
the report of a CMS performance evaluation with results of performance
testing required under 40 CFR 63.7. We also edited the final rule
language for 40 CFR 63.7(g)(2)(v) to improve clarity and to eliminate
confusion.
    Comment: Fifteen commenters provided comments arguing against the
proposal to tighten the filter temperature tolerance in 40 CFR
60.46(b)(2)(i); 60.50Da(b)(1)(ii)(A); 60.45c(a)(5); 60.58a(b)(3);
60.293(f); 60.296(d)(2); 63.1385(a)(5); and sections 2.0, <IP_ADDRESS>,
<IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS> and 8.5 of Method 5, Appendix A-3 of Part 60. They
cited issues that included: weather (e.g., ambient temperature
fluctuations and windy conditions); costs; lack of justification and
data for the revision; inconsistent language (e.g., the use of
``shall'' vs. ``may'' and proposed revisions to temperature tolerance
in Methods 5, 5B, and 5I but not in Methods 5D, 5E, and 5F); and safety
risks. Nine commenters remarked that ambient conditions (cold climates,
wind gusts, etc.) can cause temperature fluctuations that are difficult
to manage. More specifically, one commenter stated that the reduced
allowable temperature range would be problematic during testing in
cold, windy ambient conditions that are persistent in the winter months
in northern climates because the time required for temperature recovery
after a component change in these conditions could add hours and
possibly days to testing programs. One commenter remarked that the
proposed 5 [deg]C is unattainable for sources in cold or
windy climates.
    Eight commenters stated that alteration or replacement of equipment
components would likely be necessary to achieve the proposed
temperature tolerances resulting in additional costs. One commenter
noted potential equipment improvements, such as increased probe sheath
tubing diameter to make room for added insulation around every probe
heater; re-design of filter heating ovens; improved sealing and
insulation of the openings at the inlet and outlet of filter heating
ovens; and/or for sources with high stack temperatures, more frequent
use of air-cooled or water-cooled probes. One commenter remarked that
this revision would force cold weather stack testers to replace or
retrofit equipment with higher power heating devices and possibly more
refined control devices which would be costly. One commenter remarked
that this revision will most likely require air sampling equipment
suppliers to redesign sample probes by either increasing sheath
diameter, altering the placement or increasing the number of
thermocouples used to control the probe heating system, and/or
increasing the insulation around the sample liner. The commenter added
that an increase in the diameter of the probe sheath would have a
cascading effect either requiring test companies to purchase new sample
hot boxes or retrofit existing sample hot boxes to accommodate the
increased probe sheath diameter.
    Seven commenters stated that neither information nor data was
provided to support, justify, or quantify the claimed increased
precision of filterable PM measurements, and a few of these commenters
noted that the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) paper that the
EPA used as the basis for tightening the filter temperature tolerance
was from a comparison of results measured at four coal-fired power
plants.
    One commenter requested that the statement in Sec.
60.50Da(b)(1)(ii)(A), ``The probe and filter holder heating system in
the sampling train may be set to provide an average gas temperature of
no greater than 160 5 [deg]C (320 9 [deg]F),''
be changed to, ``The probe and filter holder heating system in the
sampling train shall be set to provide an average gas temperature of
160 5 [deg]C (320 9 [deg]F),'' because they
believe that this was the agency's intent. Similarly, another commenter
requested that the statement in Sec.  60.296(d)(2), ``The probe and
filter holder heating system may be set to provide a gas temperature no
greater than 177 5 [deg]C (320 9 [deg]F),'' be
changed to, ``The probe and filter holder heating system shall be set
to provide an average gas temperature 160 5 [deg]C (320
9 [deg]F),'' because they believe that this was the
agency's intent. One commenter also recommended changing the sentence
in Method 5B to, ``The collected sample is then heated in an oven at
160 [deg]C (320 [deg]F) for 6 hours . . . ,'' to, ``The collected
sample is then heated in an oven at 160 5 [deg]C (320
9 [deg]F) for 6 hours . . .,'' to be internally consistent.
    Three commenters noted that if the temperature tolerances are
changed in Method 5, methods that reference Method 5 (namely Method 5D,
section

2.1; Method 5E, section 2.0; and Method 5F, section 2.0) would also
need to be revised.
    Three commenters remarked that tightening the filter temperature
tolerance conflicts with the assertion that the proposed rule will
improve the quality of data but will not impose new substantive
requirements. Two of the three commenters further remarked that the
proposed rule does not meet the requirements of Executive Order 13771
nor the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
    Three commenters acknowledged that an improvement in measurement
precision could benefit the data quality in limited situations, such as
the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).
    Four commenters remarked that if the proposed revisions to the
temperature tolerances lead to a measurable change in reported PM
emissions, sources that were previously in compliance with their
emission standards may become non-compliant; one commenter added that
the opposite situation may occur. One commenter stated that the
proposed revision may have the unintended consequence of redefining the
filterable PM being measured leading to either higher or lower PM
measurements as compared to sampling runs conducted with wider
tolerances.
    Two commenters mentioned that this revision could result in a
potential safety risk. One of the commenters remarked that the added
weight and handling difficulties associated with air- or water-cooled
probes (if necessary to control the probe temperature) can increase
safety risks to testing personnel, and the other commenter remarked
that the proposed requirements may require the use of encapsulated
probes which are heavy and cumbersome resulting in hazards.
    Response: In response to these comments and in a change from
proposal, we are deferring finalizing proposed revisions of the
temperature tolerances of probe and filter holder heating systems as
part of this rulemaking. We will continue to review supporting
information and data we received on the proposed rule and may propose
either revisions or similar requirements as part of future rulemakings.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was,
therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This action is considered an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory
action. This final rule provides meaningful burden reduction by
allowing regulated facilities the flexibility to use newly-approved
alternative procedures for compliance demonstration purposes, which may
result in lower labor costs for some facilities (e.g., allowing digital
photography in lieu of manual documentation in EPA Method 22); lower
compliance testing costs (e.g., additional sample storage container
options now allowed by Method 26); reducing the likelihood of re-
testing (e.g., revised QA requirements in Method 308); and expediting
data processing (e.g., simplified calculations in Method 325B).

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. The revisions do not substantively revise the existing
information collection requirements but simply corrects, updates, and
clarifies performance testing and continuous monitoring requirements.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This action will not impose emission
measurement requirements beyond those specified in the current
regulations, nor does it change any emission standard. We have,
therefore, concluded that this action will have no net regulatory
burden for all directly regulated small entities.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local or tribal governments or the private sector.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action simply corrects and updates existing
testing regulations. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental
health risk or safety risk.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
part 51

    This action involves technical standards. The EPA used ASTM D6216-
12 for continuous opacity monitors in Performance Specification 1. The
ASTM D6216-12 standard covers the procedure for certifying continuous
opacity monitors and includes design and performance specifications,
test procedures, and QA requirements to ensure that continuous opacity
monitors meet minimum design and calibration

requirements necessary, in part, for accurate opacity monitoring
measurements in regulatory environmental opacity monitoring
applications subject to 10 percent or higher opacity standards.
    The ASTM D6216-12 standard was developed and adopted by the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The standard may be
obtained from http://www.astm.org or from the ASTM at 100 Barr Harbor
Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA believes that this action is not subject to Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it does not establish an
environmental health or safety standard. This action is a technical
correction to previously promulgated regulatory actions and does not
have an impact on human health or the environment.

L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each house of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

    <IP_ADDRESS> Metering System. Vacuum gauge, leak-free pump,
calibrated temperature sensors, dry gas meter (DGM) capable of
measuring volume to within 2 percent, and related equipment, as
shown in Figure 5-1. Other metering systems capable of maintaining
sampling rates within 10 percent of isokinetic and of determining
sample volumes to within 2 percent may be used, subject to the
approval of the Administrator. When the metering system is used in
conjunction with a pitot tube, the system shall allow periodic
checks of isokinetic rates. The average DGM temperature for use in
the calculations of section 12.0 may be obtained by averaging the
two temperature sensors located at the inlet and outlet of the DGM
as shown in Figure 5-3 or alternatively from a single temperature
sensor located at the immediate outlet of the DGM or the plenum of
the DGM.

    11.2.1 Container No. 1. Leave the contents in the shipping
container or transfer the filter and any loose PM from the sample
container to a tared weighing container. Desiccate for 24 hours in a
desiccator containing anhydrous calcium sulfate. Weigh to a constant
weight, and report the results to the nearest 0.1 mg. For the
purposes of this section, the term ``constant weight'' means a
difference of no more than 0.5 mg or 1 percent of total weight less
tare weight, whichever is greater, between two consecutive
weighings, with no less than 6 hours of desiccation time between
weighings. Alternatively, the sample may be oven dried at 104 [deg]C
(220 [deg]F) for 2 to 3 hours, cooled in the desiccator, and weighed
to a constant weight, unless otherwise specified by the
Administrator. The sample may be oven dried at 104 [deg]C (220
[deg]F) for 2 to 3 hours. Once the sample has cooled, weigh the
sample, and use this weight as a final weight.

Method 5B-Determination of Nonsulfuric Acid Particulate Matter
Emissions From Stationary Sources

* * * * *

11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Record and report the data required on a sheet such as the
one shown in Figure 5B-1.
    11.2 Handle each sample container as follows:
    11.2.1 Container No. 1. Leave the contents in the shipping
container or transfer the filter and any loose PM from the sample
container to a tared non-reactive oven-proof container. Oven dry the
filter sample at a temperature of 160 5 [deg]C (320
9 [deg]F) for 6 hours. Cool in a desiccator for 2 hours,
and weigh to constant weight. Report the results to the nearest 0.1
mg. For the purposes of this section, the term ``constant weight''
means a difference of no more than 0.5 mg or 1 percent of total
weight less tare weight, whichever is greater, between two
consecutive weighings, with no less than 6 hours of desiccation time
between weighings.
    11.2.2 Container No. 2. Note the level of liquid in the
container, and confirm on the analysis sheet whether leakage
occurred during transport. If a noticeable amount of leakage has
occurred, either void the sample or use methods, subject to the
approval of the Administrator, to correct the final results. Measure
the liquid in this container either volumetrically to 1
ml or gravimetrically to 0.5 g. Transfer the contents to
a tared 250 ml beaker, and evaporate to dryness at ambient
temperature and pressure. Then oven dry the probe sample at a
temperature of 160 5 [deg]C (320 9 [deg]F)
for 6 hours. Cool in a desiccator for 2 hours, and weigh to constant
weight. Report the results to the nearest 0.1 mg.
    11.2.3 Container No. 3. Weigh the spent silica gel (or silica
gel plus impinger) to the nearest 0.5 g using a balance. This step
may be conducted in the field.
    11.2.4 Acetone Blank Container. Measure the acetone in this
container either volumetrically or gravimetrically. Transfer the
acetone to a tared 250 ml beaker, and evaporate to dryness at
ambient temperature and pressure. Desiccate for 24 hours, and weigh
to a constant weight. Report the results to the nearest 0.1 mg.
    Note: The contents of Container No. 2 as well as the acetone
blank container may be evaporated at temperatures higher than
ambient. If evaporation is done at an elevated temperature, the
temperature must be below the boiling point of the solvent; also, to
prevent ``bumping,'' the evaporation process must be closely
supervised, and the contents of the beaker must be swirled
occasionally to maintain an even temperature. Use extreme care, as
acetone is highly flammable and has a low flash point.

    10.1.2 Determination of Spectrophotometer Calibration Factor
Kc. Add 0 ml, 2.0 ml, 4.0 ml, 6.0 ml, and 8.0 ml of the
KNO3 working standard solution (1 ml = 100 [micro]g
NO2) to a series of five 50-ml volumetric flasks. To each
flask, add 25 ml of absorbing solution and 10 ml water. Add 1 N NaOH
to each flask until the pH is between 9 and 12 (about 25 to 35
drops). Dilute to the mark with water. Mix thoroughly, and pipette a
25-ml aliquot of each solution into a separate porcelain evaporating
dish. Beginning with the evaporation step, follow the analysis
procedure of section 11.2 until the solution has been transferred to
the 100-ml volumetric flask and diluted to the mark. Measure the
absorbance of each solution at the optimum wavelength as determined
in section 10.1.1. This calibration procedure must be repeated on
each day that samples are analyzed. Calculate the spectrophotometer
calibration factor as shown in section 12.2.
* * * * *
    11.3 Sample Analysis. Mix the contents of the flask thoroughly,
and measure the absorbance at the optimum wavelength used for the
standards (section 10.1.1), using the blank solution as a zero
reference. Dilute the sample and the blank with equal volumes of
water if the absorbance exceeds A4, the absorbance of the
400-[micro]g NO2 standard (see section 10.1.3).

Method 8--Determination of Sulfuric Acid and Sulfur Dioxide Emissions
From Stationary Sources

* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> Probe Nozzle. Borosilicate or quartz glass with a sharp,
tapered leading edge and coupled to the probe liner using a
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or glass-lined union (e.g., fused
silica, Slico, or equivalent). When the stack temperature exceeds
210 [deg]C (410 [deg]F), a leak-free ground glass fitting or other
leak free, non-contaminating fitting must be used to couple the
nozzle to the probe liner. It is also acceptable to use a one-piece
glass nozzle/liner assembly. The angle of the taper shall be
<=30[deg], and the taper shall be on the outside to preserve a
constant internal diameter. The probe nozzle shall be of the button-
hook or elbow design, unless otherwise specified by the
Administrator. Other materials of construction may be used, subject
to the approval of the Administrator. A range of nozzle sizes
suitable for isokinetic sampling should be available. Typical nozzle
sizes range from 0.32 to 1.27 cm (\1/8\ to \1/2\ in) inside diameter
(ID) in increments of 0.16 cm (\1/16\ in). Larger nozzles sizes are
also available if higher volume sampling trains are used.

the estimated wind speed, wind direction, and sky condition. Sketch
the process unit being observed, and note the observer location
relative to the source and the sun. Indicate the potential and
actual emission points on the sketch. Alternatively, digital
photography as described in section 11.2.3 may be used for a subset
of the recordkeeping requirements of this section.
    11.2.2 Indoor Location. Record the following information on the
field data sheet (Figure 22-2): Company name, industry, process
unit, observer's name, observer's affiliation, and date. Record as
appropriate the type, location, and intensity of lighting on the
data sheet. Sketch the process unit being observed, and note the
observer location relative to the source. Indicate the potential and
actual fugitive emission points on the sketch. Alternatively,
digital photography as described in section 11.2.3 may be used for a
subset of the recordkeeping requirements of this section.
    11.2.3 Digital Photographic Records. Digital photographs,
annotated or unaltered, may be used to record and report sky
conditions, observer's location relative to the source, observer's
location relative to the sun, process unit being observed, potential
emission points and actual emission points for the requirements in
sections 11.2.1 and 11.2.2. The image must have the proper lighting,
field of view and depth of field to properly distinguish the sky
condition (if applicable), process unit, potential emission point
and actual emission point. At least one digital photograph must be
from the point of the view of the observer. The photograph(s)
representing the environmental conditions including the sky
conditions and the position of the sun relative to the observer and
the emission point must be taken within a reasonable time of the
observation (i.e., 15 minutes). When observations are taken from
exactly the same observation point on a routine basis (i.e., daily)
and as long as there are no modifications to the units depicted,
only a single photograph each is necessary to document the
observer's location relative to the emissions source, the process
unit being observed, and the location of potential and actual
emission points. Any photographs altered or annotated must be
retained in an unaltered format for recordkeeping purposes.

monitors (for temperature, pressure, and/or moisture) that are
employed as a necessary part of this performance specification, you
must determine the calibration drift separately for each ancillary
monitor in terms of its respective output (see the appropriate
performance specification for the diluent CEMS specification). None
of the calibration drifts may exceed their individual specification.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Introduce each of the audit gases, three times each for a total
of six challenges. Introduce the gases in such a manner that the
entire CEMS is challenged. Do not introduce the same gas
concentration twice in succession.
    Use of separate audit gas cylinder for audit points 1 and 2. Do
not dilute gas from audit cylinder when challenging the CEMS.
    The monitor should be challenged at each audit point for a
sufficient period of time to assure adsorption-desorption of the
CEMS sample transport surfaces has stabilized.
* * * * *
    (3) Use Certified Reference Materials (CRM's) (See Citation 1)
audit gases that have been certified by comparison to National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference
Materials (SRM's) or EPA Protocol Gases following the most recent
edition of the EPA Traceability Protocol for Assay and Certification
of Gaseous Calibration Standards (See Citation 2). Procedures for
preparation of CRM's are described in Citation 1. Procedures for
preparation of EPA Protocol Gases are described in Citation 2. In
the case that a suitable audit gas level is not commercially
available, Method 205 (See Citation 3) may be used to dilute CRM's
or EPA Protocol Gases to the needed level. The difference between
the actual concentration of the audit gas and the concentration
indicated by the monitor is used to assess the accuracy of the CEMS.

Method 308--Procedure for Determination of Methanol Emission From
Stationary Sources

* * * * *
    2.0 Summary of Method
    A gas sample is extracted from the sampling point in the stack.
The methanol is collected in deionized distilled water and adsorbed
on silica gel. The sample is returned to the laboratory where the
methanol in the water fraction is separated from other organic
compounds with a gas chromatograph (GC) and is then measured by a
flame ionization detector (FID). The fraction adsorbed on silica gel
is extracted with deionized distilled water and is then separated
and measured by GC/FID.

    <IP_ADDRESS> Methanol Standards for Adsorbent Tube Samples. Prepare a
series of methanol standards by first pipetting 10 ml of the
methanol working standard into a 100-ml volumetric flask and
diluting the contents to exactly 100 ml with deionized distilled
water. This standard will contain 10 [micro]g/ml of methanol.
Pipette 5, 15, and 25 ml of this

standard, respectively, into three 50-ml volumetric flasks. Dilute
each solution to 50 ml with deionized distilled water. These
