(2) Provided that, in the case of a Texas SO2 Trading Program unit that operates during, but has no amount of Texas SO2 Trading Program allowances allocated under § 97.911 for, such control period, the unit shall be treated, solely for purposes of this definition, as being allocated the amount of Texas SO2 Trading Program allowances shown for the unit in § 97.911(a)(1).

Common designated representative's share means, with regard to a specific common designated representative for a control period in a given year and the total amount of SO2 emissions from all Texas SO2 Trading Program units during such control period, the total tonnage of SO2 emissions during such control period from the group of one or more Texas SO2 Trading Program units having the common designated representative for such control period.

Common stack means a single flue through which emissions from 2 or more units are exhausted.

Compliance account means an Allowance Management System account, established by the Administrator for a Texas SO2 Trading Program source under this subpart, in which any Texas SO2 Trading Program allowance allocations to the Texas SO2 Trading Program units at the source are recorded and in which are held any Texas SO2 Trading Program allowances available for use for a control period in a given year in complying with the source's Texas SO2 Trading Program emissions limitation in accordance with §§ 97.906 and 97.924.

Continuous emission monitoring system or CEMS means the equipment required under this subpart to sample, analyze, measure, and provide, by means of readings recorded at least once every 15 minutes and using an automated data acquisition and handling system (DAHS), a permanent record of SO2 emissions, stack gas volumetric flow rate, stack gas moisture content, and O2 or CO2 concentration (as applicable), in a manner consistent with part 75 of this chapter and §§ 97.930 through 97.935. The following systems are the principal types of continuous emission monitoring systems:

(1) Any Texas SO2 Trading Program unit that is permanently retired shall be exempt from § 97.906(b) and (c)(1), § 97.924, and §§ 97.930 through 97.935.

(1) The owners and operators, and the designated representative, of each Texas SO2 Trading Program source and each Texas SO2 Trading Program unit at the source shall comply with the monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of §§ 97.930 through 97.935.

(i) Objections shall be submitted by the deadline specified in such notice and shall be limited to addressing whether the calculations referenced in such notice are in accordance with § 97.906(c)(2)(iii), §§ 97.906(b) and 97.930 through 97.935, the definitions of “common designated representative”, “common designated representative's assurance level”, and “common designated representative's share” in § 97.902, and the calculation formula in § 97.906(c)(2)(i).

(1) The owner or operator shall ensure that each continuous monitoring system under § 97.930(a)(1) (including the automated data acquisition and handling system) successfully completes all of the initial certification testing required under § 75.20 of this chapter by the applicable deadline in § 97.930(b). In addition, whenever the owner or operator installs a monitoring system to meet the requirements of this subpart in a location where no such monitoring system was previously installed, initial certification in accordance with § 75.20 of this chapter is required.
