§ 145.373. Out-of-control periods.
(a) Quality assurance requirements. Whenever a monitoring system fails to meet the quality assurance and quality control requirements or data validation requirements of 40 CFR Part 75 (relating to continuous emission monitoring), data shall be substituted using the applicable procedures in 40 CFR Part 75, Subpart D (relating to missing data substitution procedures) or Appendix D (relating to optional SO2 emissions data protocol for gas-fired and oil-fired units).
(b) Audit decertification. Whenever both an audit of a monitoring system and a review of the initial certification or recertification application reveal that any monitoring system should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet a particular performance specification or other requirement under § 145.372 (relating to initial certification and recertification procedures) or the applicable provisions of 40 CFR Part 75, both at the time of the initial certification or recertification application submission and at the time of the audit, the Department will issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of the monitoring system. For the purposes of this paragraph, an audit shall be either a field audit or an audit of any information submitted to the Department or the Administrator. By issuing the notice of disapproval, the Department revokes prospectively the certification status of the monitoring system. The data measured and recorded by the monitoring system will not be considered valid quality-assured data from the date of issuance of the notification of the revoked certification status until the date and time that the owner or operator completes subsequently approved initial certification or recertification tests for the monitoring system. The owner or operator shall follow the initial certification or recertification procedures in § 145.372 for each disapproved monitoring system.
