CFR /  Title 40  /  Part 63  /  Sec. 63.9983 Are any EGUs not subject to this subpart?

The types of electric steam generating units listed in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section are not subject to this subpart.

(a) Any unit designated as a stationary combustion turbine, other than an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) unit, covered by 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY.

(b) Any electric utility steam generating unit that is not a coal- or oil-fired EGU and combusts natural gas for more than 10.0 percent of the average annual heat input during any 3 calendar years or for more than 15.0 percent of the annual heat input during any calendar year.

(c) Any electric utility steam generating unit that has the capability of combusting more than 25 MW of coal or oil but did not fire coal or oil for more than 10.0 percent of the average annual heat input during any 3 calendar years or for more than 15.0 percent of the annual heat input during any calendar year. Heat input means heat derived from combustion of fuel in an EGU and does not include the heat derived from preheated combustion air, recirculated flue gases or exhaust gases from other sources (such as stationary gas turbines, internal combustion engines, and industrial boilers).

(d) Any electric steam generating unit combusting solid waste is a solid waste incineration unit subject to standards established under sections 129 and 111 of the Clean Air Act.
