NR 460.02(22g)(c)(c) Changes to quality control requirements for parameter monitoring.
NR 460.02(22g)(d)(d) Use of an electronic data reduction system in lieu of manual data reduction.
NR 460.02(22r)(22r)“Intermediate alternative test method” means a federally enforceable test method with modifications that involve technology generally accepted by the scientific community as equivalent or better, that is applied on a site-specific basis and that may have the potential to decrease the stringency of the associated emission limitation or standard. Though site-specific, such intermediate modifications may set a national precedent for a source category and may ultimately result in a revision to the federally enforceable test method. In order to be approved, an intermediate modification shall be validated according to EPA Method 301 in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 63, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (25), to demonstrate that it provides equal or improved accuracy and precision. Examples of intermediate modifications to a test method include, but are not limited to:
NR 460.02(22r)(a)(a) Modifications to a test method’s sampling procedure including substitution of sampling equipment that has been demonstrated for a particular sample matrix, and use of a different impinger absorbing solution.
NR 460.02(22r)(b)(b) Changes in sample recovery procedures and analytical techniques, such as changes to sample holding times and use of a different analytical finish with proven capability for the analyte of interest.
NR 460.02(22r)(c)(c) Combining a federally required method with another proven method for application to processes emitting multiple pollutants.
NR 460.02(23)(23)“Lesser quantity” means a quantity of a hazardous air pollutant that is or may be emitted by a stationary source that the administrator establishes in order to define a major source under an applicable subpart of 40 CFR part 63.
NR 460.02(23e)(23e)“Major alternative monitoring” means federally required monitoring with modifications that use technology or procedures not generally accepted by the scientific community, or that is an entirely new method. These major modifications to monitoring may be site-specific or may apply to one or more source categories and will almost always set a national precedent. Examples of major modifications to monitoring include, but are not limited to:
NR 460.02(23e)(a)(a) Use of a new monitoring approach developed to apply to a control technology not contemplated in the applicable regulation.
NR 460.02(23e)(b)(b) Use of a predictive emission monitoring system in place of a required continuous emission monitoring system.
NR 460.02(23e)(c)(c) Use of alternative calibration procedures that do not involve calibration gases or test cells.
NR 460.02(23e)(d)(d) Use of an analytical technology that differs from that specified by a performance specification.
NR 460.02(23e)(e)(e) Decreased monitoring frequency for a continuous emission monitoring system, continuous opacity monitoring system, predictive emission monitoring system or continuous parameter monitoring system.
NR 460.02(23e)(f)(f) Decreased monitoring frequency for a leak detection and repair program.
NR 460.02(23e)(g)(g) Use of alternative averaging times for reporting purposes.
NR 460.02(23m)(23m)“Major alternative test method” means a federally enforceable test method with modifications that use technology or procedures not generally accepted by the scientific community or that is an entirely new method. These major modifications to a test method may be site-specific, or may apply to one or more sources or source categories, and will almost always set a national precedent. In order to be approved, a major modification shall be validated according to EPA Method 301 in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 63, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (25). Examples of major modifications to a test method include, but are not limited to:
NR 460.02(23m)(a)(a) Use of an unproven analytical finish.
NR 460.02(23m)(b)(b) Use of a method developed to fill a test method gap.
NR 460.02(23m)(c)(c) Use of a new test method developed to apply to a control technology not contemplated in the applicable regulation.
NR 460.02(23m)(d)(d) Combining 2 or more sampling or analytical methods, at least one being unproven, into one for application to processes emitting multiple pollutants.
NR 460.02(23s)(23s)“Major changes to recordkeeping and reporting” means:
NR 460.02(23s)(a)(a) A modification to federally required recordkeeping or reporting that meets one of the following criteria:
NR 460.02(23s)(a)1.1. May decrease the stringency of the required compliance and enforcement measures for the relevant standards.
NR 460.02(23s)(a)2.2. May have national significance.
NR 460.02(23s)(a)3.3. Is not site-specific.
NR 460.02(23s)(b)(b) Examples of major changes to recordkeeping and reporting include, but are not limited to:
NR 460.02(23s)(b)1.1. Decreases in the record retention for all records.
NR 460.02(23s)(b)2.2. Waiver of all or most recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
NR 460.02(23s)(b)3.3. Major changes to the contents of reports.
