II. Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for emergency
demand response for periods in which the Reliability
Coordinator under the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation(NERC) Reliability Standard EOP-002-3,
Capacity and Energy Emergencies (incorporated by reference,
see 40 CFR 60.17), or other authorized entity as determined

C. Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for up to 50 hours per
calendar year in non-emergency situations. The 50 hours of operation
in non-emergency situations are counted as part of the 100 hours per
calendar year for maintenance and testing and emergency demand
response provided in paragraph B above. Except as provided in.
paragraph I below, the 50 hours per calendar year for non-emergency
situations cannot be used for peak shaving or non-emergency demand
response, or to generate income for a facility to an electric grid or
otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with
another entity.
I. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations can be
used to supply power as part of a financial arrangement with
another entity if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) The engine is dispatched by the local balancing
authority or local transmission and distribution system
operator;
(b) The dispatch is intended to mitigate local transmission
and/or distribution limitations so as to avert potential
voltage collapse or line overloads that could lead to the
interruption of power supply in a local area or region.
(c) The dispatch follows reliability, emergency operation
or similar protocols that follow specific NERC,
regional, state, public utility commission or local
standards or guidelines.
(d) The power is provided only to the facility itself or to
support the local transmission and distribution system.
Permit No. 03570R19
Page 10
(e) The owner or operator identifies and records the entity
that dispatches the engine and the specific NERC,
regional, state,public utility commission or local
standards or guidelines that are being followed for -
dispatching the engine. The local balancing authority
or local transmission and distribution system operator
may keep these records on behalf of the engine owner
or operator.
