– Emission Inventory Reporting September 27, 2010 2 STATEMENT OF BASIS FOR THE PERMIT CONDITIONS

The State and Federal regulations for each Condition are cited in Operating Permit No. < Insert Operating Permit Number >.

Condition < insert condition reference >, Emission Inventory Reporting

Legal Basis: This condition requires the Permittee to submit emissions data to the State to satisfy the federal requirement to submit emission inventory data from point sources as required under 40 CFR 51.321 (6/10/02). It applies to sources defined as point
sources in 40 CFR 51.20. The State must report all data elements in Table 2A of Appendix A to Subpart A of 40 CFR 51 to EPA ( 73 FR 76556)

.

Factual Basis: The emission inventory data is due to EPA 12 months after the end of the reporting year (40 CFR 51.30(a)(1) and (b)(1), 12/17/08). A due date of March 31 corresponds with sources reporting actual emissions for assessable emissions purposes and provides the Department sufficient time to enter the data into EPA’s electro nic reporting system.

The air emissions reporting requirements under 40 CFR Part 51 Subpart A apply to States; however, States rely on information provided by point sources to meet the reporting requirements of Part 51 Subpart A. In the past, the departme nt has made information requests to point sources, to which the point source is obligated to reply under 18 AAC 50.200. The information requests occur on a routine basis as established by Part 51 Subpart A and consume significant staff resources. To incr ease governmental efficiency and reduce costs associated with information requests that occur on a routine basis, it has been determined that a standard permit condition best fulfills the need to gather the information needed to satisfy the requirements of Subpart A of 40 CFR 51

.

T o ensure that the Department’s electronic system reports complete information to the National Emissions Inventory , Title V stationary sources c lassified as Type A in Table 1 of Appendix A to Subpart A of 40 CFR 51 are required to submit with each annual report all the data elements required for the Type B source triennial reports (see also Table 2A of Appendix A to Subpart A of 40 CFR Part 51 ). All Type A sources are also classified as Type B sources. However the department ha s streamlined the reporting requirements so Type A sources only need to submit a single type of report every year instead of both an annual report and a separate triennial report every third year
