Section 720. Out of control periods

A. Whenever any emission monitoring system fails to meet the quality assurance requirements of Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 75, data shall be substituted using the applicable procedures in Subpart D, Subpart H, Appendix D, or Appendix E of 40 CFR Part 75.

B. Whenever both an audit of a monitoring system and a review of the initial certification or recertification application reveal that any system should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet a particular performance specification or other requirement under 9VAC5-140-710 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 permitting authority will issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of such system. For the purposes of this subsection an audit shall be either a field audit or an audit of any information submitted to the permitting authority or the administrator. By issuing the notice of disapproval, the permitting authority revokes prospectively the certification status of the system. The data measured and recorded by the system shall 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. The owner or operator shall follow the initial certification or recertification procedures in 9VAC5-140-710 for each disapproved system.
