Identification of the opt-in source;
.
(2) An
opt-in utilization report in accordance with rule
3745-103-45
of the Administrative Code for combustion sources;
.
(3) A thermal energy compliance report in
accordance with rule
3745-103-48
of the Administrative Code for combustion sources, if applicable;
.
(4) Shutdown or reconstruction information in

.
(7) In
an annual compliance certification report for a year during 1995
through
to
2005, at the designated representative's option, for opt-in sources that share
a common stack and whose emissions of sulfur dioxide are not monitored
separately or apportioned in accordance with 40 CFR Part 75, the percentage of
the total number of allowances under paragraph (B)(6) of this rule for all such
affected units that is to be deducted from each affected unit's compliance
subaccount; and
.
(8) In

(C) Annual
compliance certification. In the annual compliance certification report under
paragraph (A) of this rule, the designated representative shall certify, based
on reasonable inquiry of those persons with primary responsibility for
operating the opt-in source in compliance with the acid rain program, whether
the opt-in source was operated during the calendar year covered by the report
in compliance with the requirements of the acid rain program applicable to the
opt-in source, including all of the following :
(1) Whether the opt-in source was operated in
compliance with applicable acid rain emissions limitations, including whether
the opt-in source held allowances, as of the allowance transfer deadline, in
its compliance subaccount after accounting for any allowance deductions or
other adjustments under
40 CFR
73.34(c) not less than the
opt-in source's total sulfur dioxide emissions during the calendar year covered
by the annual report;
.
(2)
Whether the monitoring plan that governs the opt-in source has been maintained
to reflect the actual operation and monitoring of the opt-in source and
contains all information necessary to attribute monitored emissions to the
opt-in source;
.
(3)
Whether all the emissions from the opt-in source or group of affected units
(including the opt-in source) using a common stack were monitored or accounted
for through the missing data procedures and reported in the quarterly
monitoring reports in accordance with 40 CFR Part 75
;
.
(4) Whether the facts that form the basis for
certification of each monitor at the opt-in source or group of affected units
(including the opt-in source) using a common stack or of an opt-in source's
qualifications for using an acid rain program accepted monitoring method or
approved alternative monitoring method, if any, have changed;
.
(5) If a
change is required to be reported under paragraph (C)(4) of this rule, specify
the nature of the change, the reason for the change, when the change occurred,
and how the unit's compliance status was determined subsequent to the change,
including what method was used to determine emissions when a change mandated
the need for monitoring recertification;
and
.
(6) When applicable, whether the opt-in
source was operating in compliance with its thermal energy plan as provided in
rule
3745-103-48
of the Administrative Code for combustion sources and rule
3745-103-49 of the
Administrative Code for process sources.
