(1) The owner or operator of an affected EGU may request, in writing, an extension, as described below, to the provisions in R 336.2503(1), (2), or (3) which are effective April 16, 2015. An extension approved by the department will expire on April 15, 2016, or earlier as determined by the department, unless a renewal is granted as specified in subrule of this rule or the extension is granted as specified in subrule (7) of this rule.

(5) Not later than January 16 of the applicable compliance year, a participating EGU shall provide verification and certification to modify its proposed compliance demonstration notification as an extension using written documentation under R 336.2509.
