Applicability

eCFR Subpart YYYY [ecfr.gov]

This subpart applies to:

  • New stationary combustion turbines with a rated peak power output of at least 1.0 MW, and located at a Major Source of HAPs.

Not subject to this subpart:

  • Existing turbines.
  • Emergency-use turbines.
  • Turbines located on the North Slope of Alaska.
  • Turbine engine test cells/stands.
  • Duct burners and waste heat recovery units.


On Aug 18, 2004, EPA stayed the effectiveness of the emission and operating limitations for lean-premixed gas-fired and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines. These turbines must comply only with the Initial Notification requirements in 63.6145 until EPA takes final action on the stay. See the Federal Register document below.
