Petition Process for Requesting Additional Qualifying Activities for
Abbreviated Reporting, and for Requesting Alternative Schedules or Alternative
Parameters for Acquiring Activity Data for Qualifying Activities. A
facility owner or operator, or a district, on behalf of facility owners or
operators, may submit a request to CARB that additional processes or activities
be included as qualifying activities for abbreviated reporting. Such requests
must include the name of the process or activity to be requested as a
qualifying activity for abbreviated reporting, the requested activity data
parameters to be used for quantifying emissions, the method and emission
factors, as applicable, to be used to quantify emissions, the requested
alternative activity data collection schedule, as applicable, and a
justification for the request. Requests shall be submitted to the email address
in section
93403(f) and, if
applicable, the emissions inventory staff of the local air district. In making
a determination for approval or disapproval of the request, CARB will evaluate
the proposed activity, quantification method, and activity data collection
schedule, as applicable, to determine whether the proposed data acquisition
process meets the general requirements of this article. If CARB approves the
request in writing or via email, or if CARB does not respond to the request
within 90 days, the facility owner or operator, or district, as applicable, may
apply the requested alternatives when preparing and submitting emissions
reports. All reports using abbreviated reporting must include the data elements
described in section
93404(a) and the
approved or accepted activity level data, at a minimum, and may contain the
emissions quantified using the abbreviated reporting
mechanism.
