General Information: If you are an owner or operator subject to Subpart W of 40 CFR Part 98 and have sources that are not eligible for BAMM under 98.234(f)(2),(3) or (4), you may still request to use Best Available Monitoring Methods through December 31, 2011 for all other sources not included in BAMM forms A, B and C, subject to requirements identified in 98.234(f)(5)(iv). You must submit your request by April 30, 2011. Please see §98.234(f) regarding the use of Best Available Monitoring Methods in 2011.

You may use optional BAMM Form D to request use of BAMM for all other sources. The basis for requesting the use of Best Available Monitoring Methods may include, but are not limited to, inability to secure relevant equipment vendors or service providers, and accessibility or safety concerns related to installing necessary equipment or gathering necessary data. To obtain approval, the request must demonstrate to the EPA Administrator’s satisfaction that site-specific circumstances do not enable you to reasonably acquire, install and operate the necessary equipment.

If you are interested in submitting a request for an extension of the use of Best Available Monitoring Methods past December 31, 201 1 for all other sources not included in BAMM forms A, B and C, subject to requirements identified in 98.234(f)(5)(iv), under Subpart W of 40 CFR Part 98 (40 CFR 98.234(f)) to the EPA Administrator, please see Part II of this form.

The EPA will consider requests for BAMM extension beyond 2012 under extreme and unique circumstances for granting a further extension beyond 2012.

This form can be printed and submitted by mail or submitted electronically. While you may choose either method to submit your request to EPA, in order to expedite review of your BAMM request, please submit your application electronically to the following email address: [email protected] with the email header “Subpart W BAMM Request”.
