NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal)

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) were proposed on October 3, 1977; promulgated on September 10, 1979; and last-amended on February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that have stationary gas turbines with a heat input at peak load equal or greater than 10.7 gigajoules per hour (based on the lower heating value of the fuel fired). There are no new facilities under this subpart, as any facility which commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after February 18, 2005 is subject to the NSPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
