Sec. 60.47Da  Commercial demonstration permit.

    (a) An owner or operator of an affected facility proposing to 
demonstrate an emerging technology may apply to the Administrator for a 
commercial demonstration permit. The Administrator will issue a 
commercial demonstration permit in accordance with paragraph (e) of this 
section. Commercial demonstration permits may be issued only by the 
Administrator, and this authority will not be delegated.
    (b) An owner or operator of an affected facility that combusts solid 
solvent refined coal (SRC-I) and who is issued a commercial 
demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the 
SO2 emission reduction requirements under Sec. 60.43Da(c) 
but must, as a minimum, reduce SO2 emissions to 20 percent of 
the potential combustion concentration (80 percent reduction) for each 
24-hour period of steam generator operation and to less than 520 ng/J 
(1.20 lb/MMBtu) heat input on a 30-day rolling average basis.
    (c) An owner or operator of a fluidized bed combustion electric 
utility steam generator (atmospheric or pressurized) who is issued a 
commercial

demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the 
SO2 emission reduction requirements under Sec. 60.43Da(a) 
but must, as a minimum, reduce SO2 emissions to 15 percent of 
the potential combustion concentration (85 percent reduction) on a 30-
day rolling average basis and to less than 520 ng/J (1.20 lb/MMBtu) heat 
input on a 30-day rolling average basis.
    (d) The owner or operator of an affected facility that combusts 
coal-derived liquid fuel and who is issued a commercial demonstration 
permit by the Administrator is not subject to the applicable 
NOX emission limitation and percent reduction under Sec. 
60.44Da(a) but must, as a minimum, reduce emissions to less than 300 ng/
J (0.70 lb/MMBtu) heat input on a 30-day rolling average basis.
    (e) Commercial demonstration permits may not exceed the following 
equivalent MW electrical generation capacity for any one technology 
category, and the total equivalent MW electrical generation capacity for 
all commercial demonstration plants may not exceed 15,000 MW.
