The administrator will examine the description of the emerging technology and will determine whether the technology qualifies as an emerging technology. In making this determination, the administrator may require the owner or operator of the affected facility to submit additional information concerning the control device. The affected facility is subject to the provisions of sub. (3) (a) unless and until this determination is made by the administrator.

(9) (g) 2. shall submit to the department for approval a plan that identifies the operating conditions to be monitored under sub. (9) (g) 2. and the records to be maintained under par. (j). This plan shall be submitted to the department for approval within 360 days of the initial startup of the affected facility. The plan shall:
NR 440.205(10)(c)1.1. Identify the specific operating conditions to be monitored and the relationship between these operating conditions and nitrogen oxides emission rates (i.e., ng/J or lbs/million Btu heat input). Steam generating unit operating conditions include, but are not limited to, the degree of staged combustion (i.e., the ratio of primary air to secondary and/or tertiary air) and the level of excess air (i.e., flue gas oxygen level);
NR 440.205(10)(c)2.2. Include the data and information that the owner or operator used to identify the relationship between nitrogen oxides emission rates and these operating conditions;
NR 440.205(10)(c)3.3. Identify how these operating conditions, including steam generating unit load, will be monitored under sub. (9) (g) on an hourly basis by the owner or operator during the period of operation of the affected facility; the quality assurance procedures or practices that will be employed to ensure that the data generated by monitoring these operating conditions will be representative and accurate; and the type and format of the records of these operating conditions, including steam generating unit load, that will be maintained by the owner or operator under par. (j). If the plan is approved, the owner or operator shall maintain records of predicted nitrogen oxide emission rates and the monitored operating conditions, including steam generating unit load, identified in the plan.
NR 440.205(10)(d)(d) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall record and maintain records of the amounts of each fuel combusted during each day and calculate the annual capacity factor individually for coal, distillate oil, residual oil, natural gas, wood, and municipal-type solid waste for the reporting period. The annual capacity factor is determined on a 12-month rolling average basis with a new annual capacity factor calculated at the end of each calendar month.
NR 440.205(10)(e)(e) For an affected facility that combusts residual oil and meets the criteria under sub. (5) (j) or (k) or (7) (e) 4., the owner or operator shall maintain records of the nitrogen content of the residual oil combusted in the affected facility and calculate the average fuel nitrogen content for the reporting period. The nitrogen content shall be determined using ASTM method D3431-80 (reapproved 1987), Test Method for Trace Nitrogen in Liquid Petroleum Hydrocarbons, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (2) (a) 48., or fuel specification data obtained from fuel suppliers. If residual oil blends are being combusted, fuel nitrogen specifications may be prorated based on the ratio of residual oils of different nitrogen content in the fuel blend.
NR 440.205(10)(f)(f) For facilities subject to the opacity standard under sub. (4), the owner or operator shall maintain records of opacity.
NR 440.205(10)(g)(g) Except as provided under par. (p), the owner or operator of an affected facility subject to nitrogen oxides standards under sub. (5) shall maintain records of the following information for each steam generating unit operating day:
NR 440.205(10)(g)1.1. Calendar date.
NR 440.205(10)(g)2.2. The average hourly nitrogen oxides emission rates (expressed as NO2) (ng/J or lb/million Btu heat input) measured or predicted.
NR 440.205(10)(g)3.3. The 30-day average nitrogen oxides emission rates (ng/J or lb/million Btu heat input) calculated at the end of each steam generating unit operating day from the measured or predicted hourly nitrogen oxide emission rates for the preceding 30 steam generating unit operating days.
NR 440.205(10)(g)4.4. Identification of the steam generating unit operating days when the calculated 30-day average nitrogen oxides emission rates are in excess of the nitrogen oxides emissions standards under sub. (5), with the reasons for such excess emissions as well as a description of corrective actions taken.
NR 440.205(10)(g)5.5. Identification of the steam generating unit operating days for which pollutant data have not been obtained, including reasons for not obtaining sufficient data and a description of corrective actions taken.
NR 440.205(10)(g)6.6. Identification of the times when emission data have been excluded from the calculation of average emission rates and the reasons for excluding data.

NR 440.205(10)(h)2.b.b. Has a heat input capacity of 73 MW (250 million Btu/hour) or less and is required to monitor nitrogen oxides emissions on a continuous basis under sub. (9) (g) 1. or steam generating unit operating conditions under sub. (9) (g) 2.
