Protocol Gas Verification Program and Minimum Competency
Requirements for Air Emission Testing

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; Reconsideration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing rule revisions that modify existing
requirements for sources affected by the federally administered
emission trading programs including the NOX Budget Trading
Program, the Acid Rain Program, and the Clean Air Interstate Rule.
    EPA is amending its Protocol Gas Verification Program (PGVP) and
the minimum competency requirements for air emission testing (formerly
air emission testing body requirements) to improve the accuracy of
emissions data. EPA is also amending other sections of the Acid Rain
Program continuous emission monitoring system regulations by adding and
clarifying certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements, removing
the provisions pertaining to mercury monitoring and reporting, removing
certain requirements associated with a class-approved alternative
monitoring system, disallowing the use of a particular quality
assurance option in EPA Reference Method 7E, adding two incorporation
by references that were inadvertently left out of the January 24, 2008
final rule, adding two new definitions, revising certain compliance
dates, and clarifying the language and applicability of certain
provisions.

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 27, 2011. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule
is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of April 27,
2011.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0837 (which includes Docket ID No. EPA-
HQ-OAR-2005-0132, and Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0800). All
