- Earlier this year, CAMD posted a version of the Part 75 Policy Manual on the web in searchable format. This format
supports both word and phrase searches as well as providing tree views of the manual. This allows for easier searches of
the policy manual and provides for cross-referencing between the policy manual and Part 75. In October, CAMD has added
a set of Electronic Data Reports (EDR) instructions versions 2.1 and 2.2 in the same searchable format to the previously
released searchable policy manual. This allows anyone to search both the policy manual and the EDR instructions simultaneously
or individually. All three document are cross referenced with each other and Part 75. The EDR instructions contain
reporting guidance and supplement the policy manual which contains primarily monitoring guidance and some reporting
guidance. Click here
for the searchable policy manual and EDR instructions.
These documents are designed to help with any monitoring or reporting questions for the Acid Rain Program or the NOx Budget Program.

- We are pleased to announce that EPA has published a final rule revising Subpart GG of 40 CFR Part 60, which simplifies emissions monitoring, testing and reporting for combustion turbines that are simultaneously regulated under Part 60 and 40 CFR Part 75. This rule, published on July 8, 2004 (See 69 FR pp. 41346-41364) , represents the completion of the Turbine Initiative effort, which the Agency undertook in response to concerns from the regulated community. The Turbine Initiative helps resolving testing and reporting inconsistencies and redundancies between Part 60 and Part 75, improves the cost-effectiveness of monitoring, and simplifies the process of determining compliance. The Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) and the Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) worked together on this Initiative to ensure a high level of harmony between both regulations. For questions or comments, contact Jaime Pagan of OAQPS at 919-541-5340 and either Ruben Deza of CAMD at 202-343-9364 or Bob Vollaro of CAMD at 202-343-9116.

- MDC Version 4.2.48 .The current version of MDC is Version 4.2.48, revised as of June 15, 2004. This version of MDC supersedes MDC version 4.2.46 which was previously posted in March, 2004. EPA is releasing this version of MDC to provide a less stringent QA Status Evaluation (in MDC Hourly) for linearity checks of both ranges of dual range analyzer components (e.g., NOXA, SO2A, SO2H, SO2L, etc.) to make sure false errors are not generated. New logic has been added to handle the alternate specification for low-flow RATAs. MDC v4.2.48 also includes minor fixes to problems that were reported in the previous version. The changes and fixes are detailed in the Release Notes document.
- New section of MDC CAMD Export Files has been added to provide access to the current monitoring plan and quality assurance test data stored in the CAMD’s MDC database.
