Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 182(a)(3)(B)(i) requires ozone nonattainment areas (regardless of 

classification) to require certified emission statement data from sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and 

oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CAA Section 182(a)(3)(B)(ii) allows states to waive the requirement for emission 

statements for classes or categories of sources with less than 25 tons per year (typ) of actual plant-wide NOx or 

VOC emissions if the State provides an inventory of emissions from the class or category based on the use of 

emission factors established by EPA or other methods acceptable to EPA. 

Rule 222 requires the owner or operator of any stationary source permitted by the District with actual or potential 

emissions over 25 tpy to provide an annual statement of actual emissions. The District currently requests and 

collects emission statements annually and provides CARB with an inventory of emissions based on the use of 

emission factors that are acceptable to CARB and the US EPA. The adoption of Rule 222 formalizes the current 

procedure in rule format to meet the Federal Clean Air Act requirement. 

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2

(CO) PM TAC (name):GHGs
