and, description of corrective actions taken.

least 75 percent of the hours of operation of the facility; 
justification for not obtaining sufficient data; and description of 
corrective actions taken.
    (5) Identification of the times when emissions data have been 
excluded from the calculation of average emission rates because of 
startup, shutdown, malfunction (NOX only), emergency 
conditions (SO2 only), or other reasons, and justification

malfunction, or emergency conditions.
    (6) Identification of ``F'' factor used for calculations, method of 
determination, and type of fuel combusted.
    (7) Identification of times when hourly averages have been obtained 
based on manual sampling methods.
    (8) Identification of the times when the pollutant concentration 
exceeded full span of the CEMS.
    (9) Description of any modifications to CEMS which could affect the 
ability of the CEMS to comply with Performance Specifications 2 or 3.
    (c) If the minimum quantity of emission data as required by Sec. 
60.49Da is not obtained for any 30 successive boiler operating days, the 
following information obtained under the requirements of Sec. 
60.48Da(h) is reported to the Administrator for that 30-day period:
    (1) The number of hourly averages available for outlet emission 
rates (no) and inlet emission rates (ni) as applicable.
    (2) The standard deviation of hourly averages for outlet emission 
rates (so) and inlet emission rates (si) as 
applicable.
    (3) The lower confidence limit for the mean outlet emission rate 
(Eo*) and the upper confidence limit for the mean inlet 
emission rate (Ei*) as applicable.
    (4) The applicable potential combustion concentration.
    (5) The ratio of the upper confidence limit for the mean outlet 
emission rate (Eo*) and the allowable emission rate 
(Estd) as applicable.
    (d) If any standards under Sec. 60.43Da are exceeded during 
emergency conditions because of control system malfunction, the owner or 
operator of the affected facility shall submit a signed statement:
    (1) Indicating if emergency conditions existed and requirements 
under Sec. 60.48Da(d) were met during each period, and
    (2) Listing the following information:
    (i) Time periods the emergency condition existed;
    (ii) Electrical output and demand on the owner or operator's 
electric utility system and the affected facility;
    (iii) Amount of power purchased from interconnected neighboring 
utility companies during the emergency period;
    (iv) Percent reduction in emissions achieved;
    (v) Atmospheric emission rate (ng/J) of the pollutant discharged; 
and
    (vi) Actions taken to correct control system malfunction.
    (e) If fuel pretreatment credit toward the SO2 emission 
standard under Sec. 60.43Da is claimed, the owner or operator of the 
affected facility shall submit a signed statement:
    (1) Indicating what percentage cleaning credit was taken for the 
calendar quarter, and whether the credit was determined in accordance 
with the provisions of Sec. 60.50Da and Method 19 of appendix A of this 
part; and
    (2) Listing the quantity, heat content, and date each pretreated 
fuel shipment was received during the previous quarter; the name and 
location of the fuel pretreatment facility; and the total quantity and 
total heat content of all fuels received at the affected facility during 
the previous quarter.
    (f) For any periods for which opacity, SO2 or 
NOX emissions data are not available, the owner or operator 
of the affected facility shall submit a signed

[[Page 184]]

statement indicating if any changes were made in operation of the 
emission control system during the period of data unavailability. 
Operations of the control system and affected facility during periods of 
data unavailability are to be compared with operation of the control 
system and affected facility before and following the period of data 
unavailability.
    (g) For Hg, the following information shall be reported to the 
Administrator:
    (1) Company name and address;
    (2) Date of report and beginning and ending dates of the reporting

    (i) For the purposes of the reports required under Sec. 60.7, 
periods of excess emissions are defined as all 6-minute periods during 
which the average opacity exceeds the applicable opacity standards under 
Sec. 60.42Da(b). Opacity levels in excess of the applicable opacity 
standard and the date of such excesses are to be submitted to the 
Administrator each calendar quarter.
    (j) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall submit the

later than 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter and shall be 
accompanied by a certification statement from the owner or operator, 
indicating whether compliance with the applicable emission standards and 
minimum data requirements of this subpart was achieved during the 
reporting period. Before submitting reports in the electronic format, 
the owner or operator shall coordinate with the permitting authority to 
obtain their agreement to submit reports in this alternative format.
