2060-AR81 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2060 Air and Radiation AR 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Performance Specification 18 for Hydrogen Chloride Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems

EPA is taking action to establish Performance Specification 18 for Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEM). Performance Specification 18 (PS 18) will provide Quality assurance/Quality Control procedures for assessing the acceptability of all HCl CEMS when they are initially installed. Currently the regulations specify the use of an extractive Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Performance Specification 15 to measure HCl continuously. Performance Specification18 is a flexible measurement-based PS for both FTIR and non-FTIR technologies.
