(b) Audit decertification. Whenever both an audit of a monitoring system and a review of the initial certification or recertification application reveal that any monitoring system should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet a particular performance specification or other requirement under § 96.171 or the applicable provisions of part 75 of this chapter, both at the time of the initial certification or recertification application submission and at the time of the audit, the permitting authority or, for a CAIR NO X opt-in unit or a unit for which a CAIR opt-in permit application is submitted and not withdrawn and a CAIR opt-in permit is not yet issued or denied under subpart II of this part, the Administrator will issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of such monitoring system. For the purposes of this paragraph, an audit shall be either a field audit or an audit of any information submitted to the permitting authority or the Administrator. By issuing the notice of disapproval, the permitting authority or the Administrator revokes prospectively the certification status of the monitoring system. The data measured and recorded by the monitoring system shall not be considered valid quality-assured data from the date of issuance of the notification of the revoked certification status until the date and time that the owner or operator completes subsequently approved initial certification or recertification tests for the monitoring system. The owner or operator shall follow the applicable initial certification or recertification procedures in § 96.171 for each disapproved monitoring system. | ||||

If a CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104, then the CAIR designated representative shall notify in writing the permitting authority and the Administrator of such change in the CAIR NO X opt-in unit's regulatory status, within 30 days of such change. (b) Permitting authority's and Administrator's actions. (1) If a CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104, the permitting authority will revise the CAIR NO X opt-in unit's CAIR opt-in permit to meet the requirements of a CAIR permit under § 96.123, and remove the CAIR opt-in permit provisions, as of the date on which the CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104. (2)(i) The Administrator will deduct from the compliance account of the source that includes the CAIR NO X opt-in unit that becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104, CAIR NO X allowances equal in amount to and allocated for the same or a prior control period as: (A) Any CAIR NO X allowances allocated to the CAIR NO X opt-in unit under § 96.188 for any control period after the date on which the CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104; and (B) If the date on which the CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104 is not December 31, the CAIR NO X allowances allocated to the CAIR NO X opt-in unit under § 96.188 for the control period that includes the date on which the CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104, multiplied by the ratio of the number of days, in the control period, starting with the date on which the CAIR NO X opt-in unit becomes a CAIR NO X unit under § 96.104 divided by the total number of days in the control period and rounded to the nearest whole allowance as appropriate.

(1) When the CAIR opt-in permit is issued under § 96.184(e), the permitting authority will allocate CAIR NO X allowances to the CAIR NO X opt-in unit, and submit to the Administrator the allocation for the control period in which a CAIR NO X opt-in unit enters the CAIR NO X Annual Trading Program under § 96.184(g), in accordance with paragraph (b) or (c) of this section. (2) By no later than October 31 of the control period after the control period in which a CAIR NO X opt-in unit enters the CAIR NO X Annual Trading Program under § 96.184(g) and October 31 of each year thereafter, the permitting authority will allocate CAIR NO X allowances to the CAIR NO X opt-in unit, and submit to the Administrator the allocation for the control period that includes such submission deadline and in which the unit is a CAIR NO X opt-in unit, in accordance with paragraph (b) or (c) of this section. (b) Calculation of allocation. For each control period for which a CAIR NO X opt-in unit is to be allocated CAIR NO X allowances, the permitting authority will allocate in accordance with the following procedures: (1) The heat input (in mmBtu) used for calculating the CAIR NO X allowance allocation will be the lesser of: (i) The CAIR NO X opt-in unit's baseline heat input determined under § 96.184(c); or (ii) The CAIR NO X opt-in unit's heat input, as determined in accordance with subpart HH of this part, for the immediately prior control period, except when the allocation is being calculated for the control period in which the CAIR NO X opt-in unit enters the CAIR NO X Annual Trading Program under § 96.184(g). (2) The NO X emission rate (in lb/mmBtu) used for calculating CAIR NO X allowance allocations will be the lesser of: (i) The CAIR NO X opt-in unit's baseline NO X emissions rate (in lb/mmBtu) determined under § 96.184(d) and multiplied by 70 percent; or (ii) The most stringent State or Federal NO X emissions limitation applicable to the CAIR NO X opt-in unit at any time d… | |||

(b) Audit decertification. Whenever both an audit of a monitoring system and a review of the initial certification or recertification application reveal that any monitoring system should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet a particular performance specification or other requirement under § 96.271 or the applicable provisions of part 75 of this chapter, both at the time of the initial certification or recertification application submission and at the time of the audit, the permitting authority or, for a CAIR SO 2 opt-in unit or a unit for which a CAIR opt-in permit application is submitted and not withdrawn and a CAIR opt-in permit is not yet issued or denied under subpart III of this part, the Administrator will issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of such monitoring system. For the purposes of this paragraph, an audit shall be either a field audit or an audit of any information submitted to the permitting authority or the Administrator. By issuing the notice of disapproval, the permitting authority or the Administrator revokes prospectively the certification status of the monitoring system. The data measured and recorded by the monitoring system shall not be considered valid quality-assured data from the date of issuance of the notification of the revoked certification status until the date and time that the owner or operator completes subsequently approved initial certification or recertification tests for the monitoring system. The owner or operator shall follow the applicable initial certification or recertification procedures in § 96.271 for each disapproved monitoring system. | ||||
