Budget unit required to have a federally enforceable permit at the
source shall:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(i) Submit to the permitting authority a complete NOx Budget permit
application under § 97.22 in accordance with the deadlines specified in
§ 97.21(b) and (c);</p>
<p>(ii) Submit in a timely manner any supplemental information that the
permitting authority determines is necessary in order to review a NOx
Budget permit application and issue or deny a NOx Budget permit.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(2) The owners and operators of each NOx Budget source required to
have a federally enforceable permit and each NOx Budget unit required to
have a federally enforceable permit at the source shall have a NOx
Budget permit issued by the permitting authority and operate the unit in
compliance with such NOx Budget permit.</p>
<p>(3) The owners and operators of a NOx Budget source that is not
otherwise required to have a federally enforceable permit are not
required to submit a NOx Budget permit application, and to have a NOx
Budget permit, under subpart C of 40 CFR part 97 for such NOx Budget
source.</p></td>

<p>(1) The owners and operators and, to the extent applicable, the NOx
authorized account representative of each NOx Budget source and each NOx
Budget unit at the source shall comply with the monitoring requirements
of subpart H of 40 CFR part 97.</p>
<p>(2) The emissions measurements recorded and reported in accordance
with subpart H of 40 CFR part 97 shall be used to determine compliance
by the unit with the NOx Budget emissions limitation under paragraph
(c).</p>
<p>(c) <u>Nitrogen oxides requirements.</u></p>
<p>(1) The owners and operators of each NOx Budget source and each NOx
Budget unit at the source shall hold NOx allowances available for
compliance deductions under § 97.54(a), (b), (e), or (f) as of the NOx
allowance transfer deadline, in the unit's compliance account and the
source’s overdraft account in an amount not less than the total NOx
emissions for the control period from the unit, as determined in
accordance with subpart H of 40 CFR part 97, plus any amount necessary
to account for actual heat input under § 97.42(e) for the control period
or to account for excess emissions for a prior control period under §
97.54(d) or to account for withdrawal from the NOx Budget Trading
Program, or a change in regulatory status, of a NOx Budget opt-in unit
under § 97.86 or § 97.87.</p>
<p>(2) Each ton of nitrogen oxides emitted in excess of the NOx Budget
emissions limitation shall constitute a separate violation of 40 CFR
part 97, the Clean Air Act, and applicable State law.</p>
<p>(3) A NOx Budget unit shall be subject to the requirements under
paragraph (c)(1) starting on the later of May 1, 2003 or the date on
which the unit commences operation<em>.</em></p>
<p>(4) NOx allowances shall be held in, deducted from, or transferred
among NOx Allowance Tracking System accounts in accordance with subparts
E, F, G, and I of 40 CFR part 97.</p>
<p>(5) A NOx allowance shall not be deducted, in order to comply with
the requirements under paragraph (c)(1), for a control period in a year
prior to the year for which the NOx allowance was allocated.</p>
<p>(6) A NOx allowance allocated by the Administrator under the NOx
Budget Trading Program is a limited authorization to emit one ton of
nitrogen oxides in accordance with the NOx Budget Trading Program. No
provision of the NOx Budget Trading Program, the NOx Budget permit
application, the NOx Budget permit, or an exemption under § 97.4(b) or §
97.5 and no provision of law shall be construed to limit the authority
of the United States to terminate or limit such authorization.</p>
<p>(7) A NOx allowance allocated by the Administrator under the NOx
Budget Trading Program does not constitute a property right.</p>
<p>(8) Upon recordation by the Administrator under subpart F or G of 40
CFR part 97, every allocation, transfer, or deduction of a NOx allowance
to or from a NOx Budget unit's compliance account or the overdraft
account of the source where the unit is located is incorporated
automatically in any NOx Budget permit of the NOx Budget unit.</p>
<p>(d) <u>Excess emissions requirements</u>.</p>
<p>(1) The owners and operators of a NOx Budget unit that has excess
emissions in any control period shall:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(i) Surrender the NOx allowances required for deduction under §
97.54(d)(1); and</p>
<p>(ii) Pay any fine, penalty, or assessment or comply with any other
remedy imposed under § 97.54(d)(3).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(e) <u>Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements.</u></p>
<p>(1) Unless otherwise provided, the owners and operators of the NOx
Budget source and each NOx Budget unit at the source shall keep on site
at the source each of the following documents for a period of 5 years
from the date the document is created. This period may be extended for
cause, at any time prior to the end of 5 years, in writing by the
permitting authority or the Administrator.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(i) The account certificate of representation under § 97.13 for the
NOx authorized account representative for the source and each NOx Budget
unit at the source and all documents that demonstrate the truth of the
statements in the account certificate of representation; provided that
the certificate and documents shall be retained on site at the source
beyond such 5‑year period until such documents are superseded because of
the submission of a new account certificate of representation under §
97.13 changing the NOx authorized account representative.</p>
<p>(ii) All emissions monitoring information, in accordance with subpart
H of 40 CFR part 97; provided that to the extent that subpart H of 40
CFR part 97 provides for a 3‑year period for recordkeeping, the 3‑year
period shall apply.</p>
<p>(iii) Copies of all reports, compliance certifications, and other
submissions and all records made or required under the NOx Budget
Trading Program.</p>
<p>(iv) Copies of all documents used to complete a NOx Budget permit
application and any other submission under the NOx Budget Trading
Program or to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the NOx
Budget Trading Program.</p>
</blockquote>

and each NOx Budget unit at the source shall submit the reports and
compliance certifications required under the NOx Budget Trading Program,

<p>No provision of the NOx Budget Trading Program, a NOx Budget permit
application, a NOx Budget permit, or an exemption under § 97.4(b) or §
97.5 shall be construed as exempting or excluding the owners and
operators and, to the extent applicable, the NOx authorized account
representative of a NOx Budget source or NOx Budget unit from compliance
with any other provision of the applicable, approved State
implementation plan, a federally enforceable permit, or the Clean Air
Act.</p>
