Sec. 15.
(a) An owner or operator of a FESOP source may make any change or changes at the source that are described in subsection (b) or (c) without a prior permit revision, if each of the following conditions is met:
The records shall consist of all information required to be submitted to the commissioner in the notices specified in subsection (b)(1).
(b) An owner or operator of a FESOP source may trade increases and decreases in emissions in the FESOP source, where the applicable SIP provides for the emission trades without requiring a permit revision, subject to the constraints of subsection (a) and the further conditions of this subsection. The changes may be made without a permit revision regardless of whether the permit fails to provide expressly for the emissions trading under the following conditions:
The notice shall also refer to the provisions in the applicable implementation plan with which the source will comply and that provide for the emissions trade.
(c) An owner or operator of a FESOP source may make changes at the source within the range of alternative operating scenarios that are described in the terms and conditions of the FESOP for the source in accordance with section 4(7) of this rule, without a prior permit revision, subject to compliance with the permit terms and conditions. To procure alternative operating scenarios for its FESOP, the owner or operator of a FESOP source must request the alternative scenarios in its application for the permit. The owner or operator of a FESOP source may request that a valid FESOP permit be revised to include an alternative operating scenario in accordance with the significant permit revision requirements under section 11.1(f) of this rule.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), no advanced notice to the department is required prior to making such a change.
