*The Acid Rain Program requires the designated representative to submit
an Acid Rain permit application for each source with an affected unit. A
complete Certificate of Representation must be received by EPA
[before]{.underline} the permit application is submitted to the title V
permitting authority. A complete Acid Rain permit application, once
submitted, is binding on the owners and operators of the affected source
and is enforceable in the absence of a permit until the title V
permitting authority either issues a permit to the source or disapproves
the application.*

Please type or print. If assistance is needed, contact the title V
permitting authority.

**STEP 1** A Plant Code is a 4 or 5 digit number assigned by the
Department of Energy=s (DOE) Energy Information Administration (EIA) to
facilities that generate electricity. For older facilities, \"Plant
Code\" is synonymous with \"ORISPL\" and \"Facility\" codes. If the
facility generates electricity but no Plant Code has been assigned, or
if there is uncertainty regarding what the Plant Code is, contact EIA at
(202) 586-4325 or (202) 586-2402.

**STEP 2** In column \"a,\" identify each unit at the facility by
providing the appropriate unit identification number, consistent with
the identifiers used in the Certificate of Representation and with
submissions made to DOE and/or EIA. Do not list duct burners. For new
units without identification numbers, owners and operators must assign
identifiers consistent with EIA and DOE requirements. Each Acid Rain
Program submission that includes the unit identification number(s)
(e.g., Acid Rain permit applications, monitoring plans, quarterly
reports, etc.) should reference those unit identification numbers in
[exactly]{.underline} the same way that they are referenced on the
Certificate of Representation.

**Submission Deadlines**

For new units, an initial Acid Rain permit application must be submitted
to the title V permitting authority 24 months before the date the unit
commences operation. Acid Rain permit renewal applications must be
submitted at least 6 months in advance of the expiration of the acid
rain portion of a title V permit, or such longer time as provided for
under the title V permitting authority=s operating permits regulation.

**Submission Instructions**

Submit this form to the appropriate title V permitting authority. If you
have questions regarding this form, contact your local, State, or EPA
Regional Acid Rain contact, or call EPA\'s Acid Rain Hotline at (202)
343-9620.

**Paperwork Burden Estimate**

The public reporting and record keeping burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 8 hours per response. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for
a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Send comments on the Agency\'s need for this information, the accuracy
of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for
minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated
collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW., Washington, D.C. 20460. Include the OMB control number in any
correspondence. **Do not send the completed form to this address.**
