    (a) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. 60.8, whichever

cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from that affected facility 
any gases that contain stack emissions in excess of the limits presented 
in table 1 of this subpart.
    (b) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. 60.8, whichever

conveyor transfer points) in excess of 5 percent of the observation 
period (i.e., 9 minutes per 3-hour period), as determined by EPA 
Reference Method 22, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of
