Will the EPA send notifications to owner/operators if, at the time of sending, more than 15 days has passed since the event was detected (e.g., if the certified third-party notifier submits the notification 14 days after detection and the EPA takes 2 days to send to the owner/operator)?
If a third-party notifier submits a notification to the EPA within 15 calendar days of the date of detection of the super-emitter event, the EPA will review for completeness and accuracy, as described in the rule, and if appropriate, the EPA will send the notification to the owner/operator. The EPA will not review and provide the notification to an owner or operator if the third-party notifier submits the notification more than 15 calendar days after of the date of detection of the event.
