MACT Compiance timeline


Main : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6

3. New or Reconstructed CI Stationary RICE Timeline (See Notes 1 and 2)

RICE Rule Effective Date August 16, 2004
Initial Notifications

If startup occurs before August 16, 2004, submit notification no later than December 13, 2004. [63.6645(b)]

If startup occurs on or after August 16, 2004, submit it no later than 120 days after startup. [63.6645(c)]

Compliance Date (See Note 3) August 16, 2004 or upon startup, whichever is later [63.6595(a)(2) and (3)]
Notification of Intent to Conduct a Performance Test Within 60 days before the performance test is scheduled to begin. [63.6645(e)]
Conduct Performance Test and Other Initial Compliance Demonstrations (See Note 4) By February 12, 2005 or within 180 days after the startup, whichever is later [63.6610(a) and Table 5]

Results of Initial Performance Tests Due April 13, 2005 or within 60 days after the performance test, whichever is later, with the Notification of Compliance Status Report [63.6645(f)(2)]
Notification of Compliance Status No later than 30 days following the completion of the initial compliance demonstration if using a CEMS; OR no later than 60 days following completion of the performance test [63.6645(f)(1) and (2)]
Subsequent Performance Tests (See Note 5)

Semiannually for all engines [63.6615 and Table 3]

After a catalyst change, if using oxidation catalyst to comply with Subpart ZZZZ [63.6640(b)]

Semiannual Compliance Reports (See Notes 6 & 7) No later than July 31 or January 31, whichever date follows the end of the first calendar half after the compliance date and semiannually on July 31 and January 31 thereafter [63.6650(b)(2) and (4)]

Notes:

  1. This timeline does not take into account special situations such as compliance extensions.
  2. New or reconstructed stationary RICE: stationary RICE with a site rating greater than 500 brake horsepower, the construction or reconstruction of which was commenced on or after December 19, 2002. [63.6590(a)(2) and (3)]
  3. For area sources that become a major source: stationary RICE that commence construction after the date the area source becomes a major source must be in compliance upon startup; stationary RICE that commence construction before the date the area source becomes a major source must be in compliance within 3 years after the area source becomes a major source. [63.6595(b)]
  4. A performance test must be conducted if you are not using a CEMS to comply with emission limitations and operating limitations. If you are using CEMS, you must conduct an initial performance evaluation and relative accuracy test audit of each CEMS and use the first 4-hour period of data after a successful validation of the CEMS to demonstrate initial compliance. An initial performance test is not required if a performance test has been previously conducted and the test meets the requirements in 63.6610(d)(1) through (5).
  5. After compliance is demonstrated for two consecutive tests, the frequency of the subsequent tests may be reduced to annually. If any subsequent annual tests indicate that a RICE is not in compliance, semiannual performance testing must be resumed. In addition, you must resume semiannual performance testing if you deviate from any of the operating limits [Table 3].
  6. The initial semiannual report must cover the period beginning on the compliance date and ending on June 30 or December 31, whichever date is the first date following the end of the first calendar half after the compliance date [63.6650(b)(1)]. Subsequent reports cover the semiannual reporting period from January 1 through June 30 or July 1 through December 31 [63.6650(b)(3)].
  7. If you are subject to permitting requirements under Title V (40 CFR Part 70 or 71), you have the option of submitting your semiannual compliance reports according to the schedule established by the permitting authority for Title V monitoring reports [63.6650(b)(5)].
