- (A) Unless otherwise approved by the division, all federally regulated air pollutant emissions sampling shall be performed with the equipment being tested operating at least at ninety percent (90%) of its permitted capacity.
- (B) Emissions results shall be extrapolated to correlate with one hundred percent (100%) of permitted capacity to determine compliance;
(5) Testing timeframes. Any equipment that is to be tested at the request of the division shall be tested in accordance with the following timeframes:
- (A) Equipment to be constructed or modified shall be tested within sixty (60) days after achieving its maximum permitted production rate, but no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after its initial startup; and
- (B) Equipment already operating shall be tested according to the timeframes set forth by the division; and
(6) Testing methods and records.

- (B) The division, with the concurrence of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, may approve, at its discretion, alternate sampling methods that are equivalent to the specified methods.
- (C) The results of such tests shall be submitted to the division within the timeframes and on such forms as required by the division and federal regulations.
- (D) The owner or operator of the equipment shall retain the results of such tests for at least five (5) years and shall make the results available to any agents of the division or the United States Environmental Protection Agency during regular business hours.
