I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    The proposed amendments apply to industries that are subject to the
current provisions of 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?

    This action makes corrections and revisions to source test methods,
performance specifications (PS), quality assurance/quality control (QA/
QC) procedures, and testing regulations. The corrections and revisions
consist primarily of typographical errors, updates to testing
procedures, and the addition of alternative equipment and methods the
Agency has deemed acceptable to use.

II. Background

    The EPA catalogs errors and corrections, as well as necessary
revisions to test methods, PS, QA/QC procedures, and associated
regulations in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, and 63 and periodically updates and
revises these provisions. The most recent updates and revisions were
promulgated on August 30, 2016 (81 FR 59800). This proposed rule
addresses necessary corrections and revisions identified subsequent to
that final action, many of which were brought to our attention by
regulated sources and end-users, such as environmental consultants and
compliance professionals. These revisions will improve the quality of
data obtained and give source testers the flexibility to use newly-
approved alternative procedures.

III. Summary of Proposed Amendments

    The following amendments are being proposed.

A. Method 201A of Appendix M of Part 51

    In Method 201A, in section 12.5, the denominator of equation 24
would be corrected.

B. Method 204 of Appendix M of Part 51

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

C. Method 205 of Appendix M of Part 51

    In Method 205, section 2.1.1 would be revised to allow the use of
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-traceable
transfer standards to calibrate the gas dilution system because these
standards are widely available and provide the accuracy necessary to
perform the calibration. Section 2.1.1 would also be revised 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, section 60.17(h) would be
revised to add American Society for Testing and Materials (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 subpart D, the allowed filter temperature in section
60.46(b)(2)(i) would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to 160
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

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

    In subpart Da, the allowed filter temperature in section 60.50Da
(b)(1)(ii)(A) would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to 160
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

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

    In subpart Db, the allowed filter temperature in section
60.46b(d)(4) would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to 160
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

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

    In subpart Dc, the allowed filter temperature in section
60.45c(a)(5) would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to 160
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

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 subpart Ea, the allowed filter temperature in section
60.58a(b)(3) would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to 160
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

J. Glass Manufacturing Plants (Subpart CC) Part 60

    In subpart CC, the allowed filter temperature in section 60.293(f)
would be revised from 120 14 [deg]C to 120 5
[deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable particulate
matter (PM) measurements. The allowed filter temperature in section
60.296(d)(2) would be revised from 177 14 [deg]C to 177
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

K. New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and
Forced-Air Furnaces Part 60

    In subpart QQQQ, in Method 28WHH, in section 13.5.1, equation 8
would be corrected.

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

    In Method 2B, in section 12.1, the definition of ambient carbon
dioxide concentration would be revised because the global monthly mean
(CO2)a concentration varies over time. Also, a
website link would be added to the definition.

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

    The allowed filter temperature in Method 5, sections 2.0, <IP_ADDRESS>,
<IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, and 8.5 would be revised from 120 14
[deg]C to 120 5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of
the filterable PM measurements. Section <IP_ADDRESS> would be revised 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).

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

    The allowed filter temperature in Method 5B, sections 2.0, 6.1, and
8.2 would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to 160 5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable PM
measurements. Section 11.0 would be revised 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 would be revised to delete the word ``Reserved'' from the title,
and Figure 5B-1 (Analytical Data Sheet) would be added.

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

    In Method 5I, sections 2.1 and <IP_ADDRESS> would be revised to tighten
the allowed filter temperature from 120 14 [deg]C to 120
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

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 sections would be inserted.

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

    In Method 8, sections <IP_ADDRESS> through <IP_ADDRESS> would be renumbered
to <IP_ADDRESS> through <IP_ADDRESS>; a new section <IP_ADDRESS> would be added to
clarify the requirements that apply to the probe nozzle; and Figure 8-1
(Sulfuric Acid Sampling Train) would be corrected.

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

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

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

    In Method 22, sections 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 would be revised to allow
digital photography to be used for a subset of the recordkeeping
requirements. Section 11.2.3 would be added to allow digital
photographic records. Note 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

    In Method 26, section 6.2.2 would be revised to allow the use of
glass sample storage containers as an option to allow flexibility and
to be consistent with Method 26A.

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

    In Method 26A, section 6.2.1 would be revised to remove the
language regarding sample storage containers. We have determined that
high-density polyethylene is an acceptable material for sample storage
containers in addition to the currently allowed glass. Therefore, we
would allow both high-density polyethylene and glass in a new section
6.2.4.

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

    In Test Method 28WHH, equation 8 in section 13.5.1 would be
corrected.

W. Performance Specification 1 of Appendix B of Part 60

    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, 13.1, 13.2, and 16.0 reference 8. will be replaced with ASTM
D6216-12. Note: 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.

X. Performance Specification 2 of Appendix B of Part 60

    In Performance Specification 2, section 13.2 would be replaced with
a table that indicates the relative accuracy performance
specifications.

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.'' would be deleted; 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.

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 would be deleted.

AA. Performance Specification 15 of Appendix B of Part 60

    In Performance Specification 15, section 13.0 would be added as
``Method Performance (Reserved).''

BB. Performance Specification 18 of Appendix B of Part 60

    In Performance Specification 18, in section 11.8.7, the last
sentence would

be revised to clarify the duration of the drift check. In Table 1, the
erroneous acronym ``NO2'' would be replaced with ``NO.'' In
the appendix of Performance Specification 18, the inadvertently omitted
reserved section 12.0 would be added.

CC. Procedure 1 of Appendix F of Part 60

    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.'' would be replaced with, ``Inject each of the
audit gases, three times each for a total of six injections. Inject the
gases in such a manner that the entire CEMS is challenged. Do not
inject the same gas concentration twice in succession.'' In section
5.1.2 (3), the reference to EPA's traceability protocol for gaseous
calibration standards would be updated, and the language regarding the
use of EPA Method 205 for dilution of audit gases would be 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 would be revised to require
the reporting of specific test data for continuous monitoring system
performance evaluation tests and ongoing QA tests. These data elements
would be required regardless of the format of the report, i.e.,
electronic or paper. These modifications will ensure that performance
evaluation and quality assurance 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.

EE. Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing (Subpart NNN) Part 63

    In subpart NNN, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
63.1385(a)(5) would be revised from 120 14 [deg]C to 120
5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the filterable
PM measurements.

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

    In Table 6 of subpart DDDDD, row 1.f. would be 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 flexibility.

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

    In subpart UUUUU, the allowed filter temperature in Sec.
63.10010(h)(7)(i)(1) would be revised from 160 14 [deg]C to
160 5 [deg]C resulting in increased precision of the
filterable PM measurements. In Table 5, Method 5I would be allowed as a
test method option because Method 5I is designed for low PM
application.

HH. Method 303 of Appendix A of Part 63

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

II. Method 308 of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 308, deionized distilled water would replace 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,
would be removed. Section 8.1.2 would be revised to require a leak
check prior to the sampling run (in addition to after the sampling run)
for QA purposes; requiring a leak check prior to the sampling run would
potentially save time and money. In section 9.1, methanol spike
recovery check would be added as a QC measure in Table 9.1. In section
12.1, variables used in equations 308-4 and 308-5 would be added and
section 12.5, which includes equations 308-4 and 308-5, would be added.
In section 13.0, the title ``Reserved'' would be replaced with ``Method
Performance'' and QA requirements would be added to be consistent with
other methods.

JJ. Method 320 of Appendix A of Part 63

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

KK. Method 323 of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 323, section 12.9, the denominator in equation 323-8
would be corrected.

LL. Method 325A of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 325A, section <IP_ADDRESS> would be revised to clarify that
only one extra sampling site is required near known sources of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) when the source is within 50 meters of the
boundary and the source is located between two monitors. The label
under Figure 8.1 would be corrected from Refinery (20% angle) to
Refinery (20[deg] angle). Section <IP_ADDRESS> would be revised to include
facilities with a monitoring perimeter length equal to 7,315 meters
(24,000 feet). Section <IP_ADDRESS> would be added 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).

MM. Method 325B of Appendix A of Part 63

    In Method 325B, section 9.3.2 would be revised 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 would be corrected to 10.0. Also in section <IP_ADDRESS>, the
erroneous reference to section 10.9.5 would be corrected to 9.13.
Section 12.2.2 would be revised to correct the calculation of target
compound concentrations at standard conditions. Sections 12.2.3 and
12.2.4 would be deleted because the equations for target concentrations
are incorrect. Table 17-1 would be revised to add inadvertently omitted
QC criteria from section 9.3.3.

IV. 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'' under the
terms of Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993)
and is, therefore, not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866
and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).

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

    This action is expected to be an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory
action. This proposed rule is expected to provide meaningful burden
reduction by improving data quality and providing source testers the
flexibility to use newly-approved alternative procedures.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. The amendments being proposed in this action to the test
methods, performance specifications, and testing regulations do not
substantively revise the existing information collection requirements
but rather only make corrections and minor updates to existing testing
methodology. In addition, the proposed amendments clarify performance
testing 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 proposed rule 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 would correct and update 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 and 1 CFR Part 51

    This action involves technical standards. The EPA proposes to use
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.

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 would correct and
update existing testing regulations.

Method 5--Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions From Stationary
Sources

* * * * *
    2.0 Summary of Method. Particulate matter is withdrawn
isokinetically from the source and collected on a glass fiber filter
maintained at a temperature of 120 5 [deg]C (248 9 [deg]F) or such other temperature as specified by an
applicable subpart of the standards or approved by the Administrator
for a particular application. The PM mass, which includes any
material that condenses at or above the filtration temperature, is
determined gravimetrically after the removal of uncombined water.
* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> Probe Liner. Borosilicate or quartz glass tubing with a
heating system capable of maintaining a probe gas temperature during
sampling of 120 5 [deg]C (248 9 [deg]F), or
such other temperature as specified by an applicable subpart of the
standards or as approved by the Administrator for a particular
application. Since the actual temperature at the outlet of the probe
is not usually monitored during sampling, probes constructed
according to APTD-0581 and utilizing the calibration curves of APTD-
0576 (or calibrated according to the procedure outlined in APTD-
0576) will be considered acceptable. Either borosilicate or quartz
glass probe liners may be used for stack temperatures up to about
480 [deg]C (900 [deg]F); quartz glass liners shall be used for
temperatures between 480 and 900 [deg]C (900 and 1,650 [deg]F). Both
types of liners may be used at higher temperatures than specified
for short periods of time, subject to the approval of the
Administrator. The softening temperature for borosilicate glass is
820 [deg]C (1500 [deg]F), and for quartz glass it is 1500 [deg]C
(2700 [deg]F). Whenever practical, every effort should be made to
use borosilicate or quartz glass probe liners. Alternatively, metal
liners (e.g., 316 stainless steel, Incoloy 825 or other corrosion
resistant metals) made of seamless tubing may be used, subject to
the approval of the Administrator.
* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> Filter Heating System. Any heating system capable of
monitoring and maintaining temperature around the filter shall be
used to ensure the sample gas temperature exiting the filter of 120
 5 [deg]C (248 9 [deg]F) during sampling or
such other temperature as specified by an applicable subpart of the
standards or approved by the Administrator for a particular
application. The monitoring and regulation of the temperature around
the filter may be done with the filter temperature sensor or another
temperature sensor.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Filter Temperature Sensor. A temperature sensor capable
of measuring temperature to within 3 [deg]C (5.4 [deg]F)
shall be installed so that the sensing tip of the temperature sensor
is in direct contact with the sample gas exiting the filter. The
sensing tip of the sensor may be encased in glass, Teflon, or metal
and must protrude at least \1/2\ in. into the sample gas exiting the
filter. The filter temperature sensor must be monitored and recorded
during sampling to ensure a sample gas temperature exiting the
filter of 120 5 [deg]C (248 9 [deg]F), or
such other temperature as specified by an applicable subpart of the
standards or approved by the Administrator for a particular
application.
* * * * *
    <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.
* * * * *
    8.5 Sampling Train Operation. During the sampling run, maintain
an isokinetic sampling rate (within 10 percent of true isokinetic
unless otherwise specified by the Administrator) and a sample gas
temperature through the filter of 120 5 [deg]C (248
9 [deg]F) or such other temperature as specified by an
applicable subpart of the standards or approved by the
Administrator. Note: After startup of the sampling system, it may
take several minutes to equilibrate the system and temperature
reading to within the required temperature threshold.
* * * * *

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

* * * * *

2.0 Summary of Method

    Particulate matter is withdrawn isokinetically from the source
and collected on a glass fiber filter maintained at a temperature of
160 5 [deg]C (320 9 [deg]F). The collected
sample is then heated in an oven at 160 [deg]C (320 [deg]F) for 6
hours to volatilize any condensed sulfuric acid that may have been
collected, and the nonsulfuric acid particulate mass is determined
gravimetrically.
* * * * *
    6.1 Sample Collection.
    The probe liner heating system and filter heating system must be
capable of maintaining a sample gas temperature of 160 5
[deg]C (320 9 [deg]F).
* * * * *
    8.2 Probe and Filter Temperatures.
    Maintain the probe outlet and filter temperatures at 160 5 [deg]C (320 9 [deg]F). Note: After start-up of
the sampling system, it may take several minutes to equilibrate the
system and temperature reading to within the required temperature
threshold.
* * * * *

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 glass weighing dish. 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.

Method 5I--Determination of Low Level Particulate Emissions From
Stationary Sources

* * * * *
    2.1. Description. The system setup and operation is essentially
identical to Method 5. Particulate is withdrawn isokinetically from
the source and collected on a 47 mm glass fiber filter maintained at
a temperature of 120 5 [deg]C (248 9[emsp14][deg]F). The PM mass is determined by gravimetric
analysis after the removal of uncombined water. Specific measures in
this procedure designed to improve system performance at low
particulate levels include:

1. Improved sample handling procedures
2. Light weight sample filter assembly
3. Use of low residue grade acetone

    Accuracy is improved through the minimization of systemic errors
associated with sample handling and weighing procedures. High purity
reagents, all glass, grease free, sample train components, and light
weight filter assemblies and beakers, each contribute to the overall
objective of improved precision and accuracy at low particulate
concentrations.
* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> Care should be taken to maintain the filter box
temperature of the paired trains as close as possible to the Method
required temperature of 120 5 [deg]C (248 9[emsp14][deg]F). If separate ovens are being used for
simultaneously operated trains, it is recommended that the oven
temperature of each train be maintained within 5 [deg]C
(9[emsp14][deg]F) of each other. Note: After startup of
the sampling system, it may take several minutes to equilibrate the
system and temperature reading to within the required temperature
threshold.

* * * * *
    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 [mu]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 <IP_ADDRESS>. 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 <IP_ADDRESS>), 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-[mu]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 Teflon
union. When the stack temperature exceeds 210 [deg]C
(410[emsp14][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.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Probe Liner. Borosilicate or quartz glass, with a
heating system to prevent visible condensation during sampling. Do
not use metal probe liners.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Filter Holder. Borosilicate glass, with a glass frit
filter support and a silicone rubber gasket. Other gasket materials
(e.g., Teflon or Viton) may be used, subject to the approval of the
Administrator. The holder design shall provide a positive seal
against leakage from the outside or around the filter. The filter
holder shall be placed between the first and second impingers. Do
not heat the filter holder.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Impingers. Four, of the Greenburg-Smith design, as shown
in Figure 8-1. The first and third impingers must have standard
tips. The second and fourth impingers must be modified by replacing
the insert with an approximately 13-mm (\1/2\-in.) ID glass tube,
having an unconstricted tip located 13 mm (\1/2\ in.) from the
bottom of the impinger. Similar collection systems, subject to the
approval of the Administrator, may be used.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Temperature Sensor. Thermometer, or equivalent, to
measure the temperature of the gas leaving the impinger train to
within 1 [deg]C (2[emsp14][deg]F).

Appendix B to Part 60--Performance Specifications

* * * * *

Performance Specification 1--Specifications and Test Procedures for
Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems in Stationary Sources

* * * * *
    2.1 ASTM D6216-12 (incorporated by reference, see Sec.  60.17)
is the reference for design specifications, manufacturer's
performance specifications, and test procedures. The opacity monitor
manufacturer must periodically select and test an opacity monitor,
that is representative of a group of monitors produced during a
specified period or lot, for conformance with the design
specifications in ASTM D6216-12. The opacity monitor manufacturer
must test each opacity monitor for conformance with the
manufacturer's performance specifications in ASTM D6216-12. Note: If
the initial certification of the opacity monitor occurred before
January 26, 2018 using D6216-98, D6216-03, or D6216-07, it is not
necessary to recertify using D6216-12.
* * * * *
    3.1 All definitions and discussions from section 3 of ASTM
D6216-12 are applicable to PS-1.
* * * * *
    6.1 Continuous Opacity Monitoring System. You, as owner or
operator, are responsible for purchasing an opacity monitor that
meets the specifications of ASTM D6216-12, including a suitable data
recorder or automated data acquisition handling system. Example data
recorders include an analog strip chart recorder or more
appropriately an electronic data acquisition and reporting system
with an input signal range compatible with the analyzer output.
* * * * *
    8.1 * * *
    (1) You must purchase an opacity monitor that complies with ASTM
D6216-12 and obtain a certificate of conformance from the opacity
monitor manufacturer.
    (2) * * *
    (3) * * *
    (ii) Calibration Error Check. Conduct a three-point calibration
error test using three calibration attenuators that produce outlet
pathlength corrected, single-pass opacity values shown in ASTM
D6216-12, section 7.5. If your applicable limit is less than 10
percent opacity, use attenuators as described in ASTM D6216-12,
section 7.5 for applicable standards of 10 to 19 percent opacity.
Confirm the external audit device produces the proper zero value on
the COMS data recorder. Separately, insert each calibration
attenuators (low, mid, and high-level) into the external audit
device. While inserting each attenuator, (1) ensure that the entire
light beam passes through the attenuator, (2) minimize interference
from reflected light, and (3) leave the attenuator in place for at
least two times the shortest recording interval on the COMS data
recorder. Make a total of five nonconsecutive readings for each
attenuator. At the end of the test, correlate each attenuator
insertion to the corresponding value from the data recorder.
Subtract the single-pass calibration attenuator values corrected to
the stack exit conditions from the COMS responses. Calculate the
arithmetic mean difference, standard deviation, and confidence
coefficient of the five measurements value using equations 1-3, 1-4,
and 1-5. Calculate the calibration error as the sum of the absolute
value of the mean difference and the 95 percent confidence
coefficient for each of the three test attenuators using equation 1-
6. Report the calibration error test results for each of the three
attenuators.
* * * * *
    8.2 * * *
    (1) Conduct the verification procedures for design
specifications in section 6 of ASTM D6216-12.

    (2) Conduct the verification procedures for performance
specifications in section 7 of ASTM D6216-12.
    (3) Provide to the owner or operator, a report of the opacity
monitor's conformance to the design and performance specifications
required in sections 6 and 7 of ASTM D6216-12 in accordance with the
reporting requirements of section 9 in ASTM D6216-12.
* * * * *

9.0 What quality control measures are required by PS-1?

    Opacity monitor manufacturers must initiate a quality program
following the requirements of ASTM D6216-12, section 8. The quality
program must include (1) a quality system and (2) a corrective
action program.
* * * * *
    12.1 Desired Attenuator Values. Calculate the desired attenuator
value corrected to the emission outlet pathlength as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP26JA18.003

Where:

OP1 = Nominal opacity value of required low-, mid-, or
high-range calibration attenuators.
OP2 = Desired attenuator opacity value from ASTM D6216-
12, section 7.5 at the opacity limit required by the applicable
subpart.
L1 = Monitoring pathlength.
L2 = Emission outlet pathlength.

* * * * *
    13.1 Design Specifications. The opacity monitoring equipment
must comply with the design specifications of ASTM D6216-12.

Your daily PM CEMS internal drift checks must demonstrate that the
daily drift of your PM CEMS does not deviate from the value of the
reference light, optical filter, Beta attenuation signal, or other
technology-suitable reference standard by more than 2 percent of the
response range. If your CEMS includes diluent and/or auxiliary
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.

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

    Inject each of the audit gases, three times each for a total of
six injections. Inject the gases in such a manner that the entire
CEMS is challenged. Do not inject 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.
    (2) * * *
    (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.
