EPA's anticipated proposed revisions to
Part 75 were published in the Federal Register on June
13, 2001. The changes, which are intended to steamline
the rule while providing technical corrections and

eliminate outdated provisions

related testing requirements
- Changes to the definitions of unit and stack
operating hours for QA purposes
- Initial certification application deadlines
changes
- Modifications effecting what happens when a unit
loses peaking, gas-fired, or LME status
- Significant revisions to the missing data
substitution procedures
- Changes intended to address units that produce
electrical or thermal output
- Revised maximum potential moisture provisions
- Method of determination codes changes
- Significant changes to the low mass emissions
(LME) provisions
- Changes for CEMS span and range evaluations
- Modifications of the procedures to determine NOX
MPC, MEC, span, and range values
- Changes to the 7-day calibration error test for
peaking units
- Tightened calibration standards for units with
span values less than 50 ppm
