(a)Except as provided for in § 60.4310a, you are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a stationary combustion turbine that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after December 13, 2024, and that has a base load rating equal to or greater than 10.7 gigajoules per hour (GJ/h) (10 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/h)). Any additional heat input from duct burners used with heat recovery steam generating
(HRSG)units or fuel preheaters is not included in the heat input value used to determine the applicability of this subpart to a given stationary combustion turbine. However, this subpart does apply to emissions from any associated HRSG and duct burner(s) that are associated with a combustion turbine subject to this subpart.
(b)A stationary combustion turbine subject to this subpart is not subject to subpart GG or KKKK of this part.
(c)Duct burners are not subject to subpart D, Da, Db, or Dc of this part (as applicable) if the duct burner is used with a HRSG unit that is part of a combustion turbine that is subject to this subpart.
(d)If you own or operate a stationary combustion turbine (including a combined cycle combustion turbine or a CHP combustion turbine) that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction on or before December 13, 2024, you may submit a written petition to the Administrator requesting that the stationary combustion turbine comply with the applicable requirements for modified units under this subpart as an alternative to complying with subpart GG or KKKK of this part, and with subparts D, Da, Db, and Dc of this part, as applicable. If the Administrator or delegated authority approves the petitioner's request, the affected facility must comply with the requirements for modified units under this subpart unless the stationary combustion turbine is reconstructed or replaced with a new facility in the future.
(e)If you own or operate a combined cycle combustion turbine or combined heat and power combustion turbine, and changes are made after December 13, 2024, to allow the existing combustion turbine to also operate in simple cycle mode and those changes are determined a modification for NSPS purposes, this subpart shall apply to the combustion turbine only as it operates in simple cycle mode, and not to its existing configuration in combined cycle mode.
