Abstract: EPA and permitting authorities will use the information required by part 64 in providing oversight and guidance to industry on selection of monitoring and methods for reporting compliance status. Owners and operators of emissions units with add-on control equipment and subject to title V operating permits must collect information in the form of monitoring, periodic reporting, and record keeping for purposes of compliance certification. Permitting authorities will use the information collected and submitted in permit applications in determining acceptability of proposed compliance assurance monitoring. The permitting authorities will use source monitoring data to assess compliance, as input into reports to other agencies, and, when necessary, as evidence in enforcement proceedings.
