Q470. Is it necessary to monitor of "hours operated" for "natural gas, diesel, and dual-fired turbines" as required in Subpart W via GOADS.
A470. You must follow the methods in the rule. In response to industry comments regarding burden, EPA finalized requirements to use Bureau of Ocean Management (BOEM) GOADS reporting methods for all offshore facilities under Subpart W. As GOADS is under BOEM jurisdiction, EPA has no authority regarding GOADS guidelines or methods.
