(a) New and reconstructed affected sources. For a new or reconstructed source, you must meet the requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section.

(1) All emission capture systems, add-on control devices, and CPMS must be installed and operating no later than the applicable compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483. You must conduct a performance test of each capture system and add-on control device according to Sec. Sec. 63.3553, 63.3554, and 63.3555 and establish the operating limits required by Sec. 63.3492 no later than 180 days after the applicable compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483.

(2) You must develop and begin implementing the work practice plan required by Sec. 63.3493 no later than the compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483.

(3) You must complete the initial compliance demonstration for the initial compliance period according to the requirements of Sec. 63.3551. The initial compliance period begins on the applicable compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483 and ends on the last day of the 12th month following the compliance date. If the compliance date occurs on any day other than the first day of a month, then the initial compliance period extends through the end of that month plus the next 12 months. The initial compliance demonstration includes the results of emission capture system and add-on control device performance tests conducted according to Sec. 63.3553, 63.3554, and 63.3555; the operating limits established during the performance tests and the results of the continuous parameter monitoring required by Sec. 63.3557; and documentation of whether you developed and implemented the work practice plan required by Sec. 63.3493.

(4) You do not need to comply with the operating limits for the emission capture system and add-on control device required by Sec. 63.3492 until after you have completed the performance tests specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Instead, you must maintain a log detailing the operation and maintenance of the emission capture system, add-on control device, and continuous parameter monitors during the period between the compliance date and the performance test. You must begin complying with the operating limits on the date you complete the performance tests specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

(b) Existing affected sources. For an existing affected source, you must meet the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section.

(1) All emission capture systems, add-on control devices, and CPMS must be installed and operating no later than the applicable compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483.

(2) You must develop and begin implementing the work practice plan required by Sec. 63.3493 no later than the compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483.

(3) You must complete the initial compliance demonstration for the initial compliance period according to the requirements of Sec. 63.3551. The initial compliance period begins on the applicable compliance date specified in Sec. 63.3483 and ends on the last day of the 12th month following the compliance date. If the compliance date occurs on any day other than the first day of a month, then the initial compliance period extends through the end of that month plus the next 12 months. The initial compliance demonstration includes the results of emission capture system and add-on control device performance tests conducted according to Sec. Sec. 63.3553, 63.3554, and 63.3555; the operating limits established during the performance tests and the results of the continuous parameter monitoring required by Sec. 63.3557; and documentation of whether you developed and implemented the work practice plan required by Sec. 63.3493.
