(1)(i) If a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 unit is subject to the Acid Rain Program or the CSAPR NOX Annual Trading Program or if the owner or operator of such unit chooses to report on an annual basis under this subpart, then the designated representative shall meet the requirements of subpart H of part 75 of this chapter (concerning monitoring of NOX mass emissions) for such unit for the entire year and report the NOX mass emissions data and heat input data for such unit for the entire year.
(ii) If a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 unit is not subject to the Acid Rain Program or the CSAPR NOX Annual Trading Program, then the designated representative shall either:
(A) Meet the requirements of subpart H of part 75 of this chapter for such unit for the entire year and report the NOX mass emissions data and heat input data for such unit for the entire year in accordance with paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this section; or

Quarterly reports shall be submitted in the manner specified in §75.73(f) of this chapter.

Notwithstanding the provisions of §§75.64(a), 75.73(f)(1), 97.434(d)(2), 97.634(d)(2), and 97.734(d)(2), the deadline for the designated representative of such a unit to submit the quarterly reports required under such additional programs for the calendar quarter covering May 1, 2023, through June 30, 2023, shall be August 4, 2023.
(5) The Administrator may review and conduct independent audits of any quarterly report in order to determine whether the quarterly report meets the requirements of this subpart and part 75 of this chapter, including the requirement to use substitute data.
(i) The Administrator will notify the designated representative of any determination that the quarterly report fails to meet any such requirements and specify in such notification any corrections that the Administrator believes are necessary to make through resubmission of the quarterly report and a reasonable time period within which the designated representative must respond. Upon request by the designated representative, the Administrator may specify reasonable extensions of such time period. Within the time period (including any such extensions) specified by the Administrator, the designated representative shall resubmit the quarterly report with the corrections specified by the Administrator, except to the extent the designated representative provides information demonstrating that a specified correction is not necessary because the quarterly report already meets the requirements of this subpart and part 75 of this chapter that are relevant to the specified correction.
(ii) Any resubmission of a quarterly report shall meet the requirements applicable to the submission of a quarterly report under this subpart and part 75 of this chapter, except for the deadline set forth in paragraph (d)(3) of this section.
(e) Compliance certification. The designated representative shall submit to the Administrator a compliance certification (in a format prescribed by the Administrator) in support of each quarterly report based on reasonable inquiry of those persons with primary responsibility for ensuring that all of the unit's emissions are correctly and fully monitored. The certification shall state that:
(1) The monitoring data submitted were recorded in accordance with the applicable requirements of this subpart and part 75 of this chapter, including the quality assurance procedures and specifications;
(2) For a unit with add-on NOX emission controls and for all hours where NOX data are substituted in accordance with §75.34(a)(1) of this chapter, the add-on emission controls were operating within the range of parameters listed in the quality assurance/quality control program under appendix B to part 75 of this chapter and the substitute data values do not systematically underestimate NOX emissions; and
(3) For a unit that is reporting on a control period basis under paragraph (d)(1)(ii)(B) of this section, the NOX emission rate and NOX concentration values substituted for missing data under subpart D of part 75 of this chapter are calculated using only values from a control period and do not systematically underestimate NOX emissions.
