Instructions for the Certificate of Representation

Note: The Certificate of Representation information can be submitted online through the 

CAMD Business System (CBS) at https://camd.epa.gov/cbs/index.cfm. You must have a 

user ID and password. If you need a user ID and password, call Karen Van Sickle at (202) 343-

9220 or Kirk Nabors at (202) 343-9171 or Paula Branch at (202) 343-9168. If you have 

questions about CBS, contact Laurel DeSantis at desantis.laurel@epa.gov or (202) 343-9191, 

or Alex Salpeter at salpeter.alex@epa.gov or (202) 343-9157.

Any reference in these instructions to the Designated Representative means the Acid Rain 

Designated Representative, the CAIR Designated Representative, and/or Transport Rule 

Designated Representative, as applicable. Any reference to the Alternate Designated 

Representative means the Alternate Acid Rain Designated Representative, the Alternate CAIR 

Designated Representative, and/or the Alternate Transport Rule Designated Representative, as 

applicable. As reflected in this form, the Acid Rain Designated Representative, the CAIR 

Designated Representative, and the Transport Rule Designated Representative for a facility 

(source) must be the same individual, and the Alternate Acid Rain Designated Representative,

the Alternate CAIR Designated Representative, and the Alternate Transport Rule Designated 

Representative for a facility (source) must be the same individual.

Please type or print. Submit a separate page 2 for each unit subject to the Acid Rain Program, 

a CAIR Trading Program, or a Transport Rule Program at the facility (source), and indicate the 

page order and total number of pages (e.g., 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.) in the boxes in the upper right 

hand corner of page 2. A Certificate of Representation amending an earlier submission 

supersedes the earlier submission in its entirety and must therefore always be complete. 

Submit one Certificate of Representation form with original signature(s). NO FIELDS SHOULD 

BE LEFT BLANK. For assistance, contact Laurel DeSantis at desantis.laurel@epa.gov or (202) 

343-9191.

STEP 1 

(i) 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, 

send an email to the EIA. The email address is EIA-860@eia.gov. For facilities that do not 

produce electricity, use the facility identifier assigned by EPA (beginning with "88"). If the facility 

does not produce electricity and has not been assigned a facility identifier, contact Laurel 

DeSantis at desantis.laurel@epa.gov or (202) 343-9191.

(ii) Enter the latitude and longitude representing the location of the facility in degree decimal 

format.

Note that coordinates MUST be submitted in decimal degree format; in this format minutes and 

seconds are represented as a decimal fraction of one degree. Therefore, coordinates 

containing degrees, minutes, and seconds must first be converted using the formula: 

decimal degrees = degrees + (minutes / 60) + (seconds / 3600)
2

Example: 

39 degrees, 15 minutes, 25 seconds = 39 + (15 / 60) + (25 / 3600) = 39.2569 degrees

STEPS 2 & 3

The Designated Representative and the Alternate Designated Representative must be 

individuals (i.e., natural persons) and cannot be a company. Enter the company name and 

address of the representative as it should appear on all correspondence. If an email address is 

provided, most correspondence will be emailed. Although not required, EPA strongly 

encourages owners and operators to designate an Alternate Designated Representative 

to act on behalf of the Designated Representative.

STEP 4

(i) Complete one page for each unit subject to the Acid Rain Program, a CAIR Trading 

Program, or a Transport Rule Program, and indicate the program(s) to which the unit is subject. Identify each unit at the facility by providing the appropriate unit identification number, consistent 

with the identifiers used in previously submitted Certificates of Representation (if applicable) 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 submission to EPA that includes the unit identification number(s) 

(e.g., monitoring plans and quarterly reports) should reference those unit identification numbers 

in exactly the same way that they are referenced on the Certificate of Representation. Do not

identify units that are not subject to the above-listed programs but are part of a common 

monitoring configuration with a unit that is subject to any of these programs. To identify units in 

a common monitoring configuration that are not subject to any of these programs, call the 

CAMD Hotline at (202) 343-9620, and leave a message under the “Continuous Emissions 

Monitoring” submenu.

(ii) Identify the type of unit using one of the following abbreviations:

Boilers Boilers Turbines

AF Arch-fired boiler OB Other boiler CC Combined cycle

BFB Bubbling fluidized bed 

boiler

PFB Pressurized 

fluidized bed boiler

CT Combustion turbine

DTF Dry bottom turbo-fired 

boiler

WVF Wet bottom 

vertically-fired boiler

PRH Refinery process 

heater

DVF Dry bottom verticallyfired boiler

If there is uncertainty about how a unit should be characterized, contact Robert Miller at 

miller.robertl@epa.gov or (202) 343-9077.
3

(iii) Indicate the source category description that most accurately describes the purpose for 

which the unit is operated by entering one of the following terms. If none of these descriptions 

applies to your unit, contact Robert Miller at miller.robertl@epa.gov or (202) 343-9077.

Automotive Stampings Industrial Boiler Petroleum Refinery

Bulk Industrial Chemical Industrial Turbine Portland Cement Plant

Cement Manufacturing Institutional Pulp and Paper Mill

Cogeneration Iron and Steel Small Power Producer

Electric Utility Municipal Waste Combustor Theme Park

(iv) Provide the primary North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code that 

most accurately describes the business type for which the unit is operated. If unknown, go to 

http://www.census.gov for guidance on how to determine the proper NAICS code for the unit.

(v) Enter the date the unit began (or will begin) serving any generator producing electricity for 

sale, including test generation. Enter this date and check the "actual" box for any unit that has 

begun to serve a generator producing electricity for sale as of the date of submission of this 

form. (This information should be provided even if the unit does not currently serve a generator 

producing electricity for sale.) For any unit that will begin, but has not begun as of the date of 

submission of this form, to serve a generator producing electricity for sale, estimate the future 

date on which the unit will begin to produce electricity for sale and check the "projected" box. 

When the actual date is established, revise the form accordingly by entering the actual date and 

checking the "actual" box. Enter "NA" if the unit has not ever served, is not currently serving, 

and is not projected to serve, a generator that producing electricity for sale. You are strongly 

encouraged to use the CAMD Business System to update information regarding when a 

unit begins serving a generator producing electricity for sale. 

If you have questions regarding this portion of the form, contact Robert Miller at 

miller.robertl@epa.gov or (202) 343-9077.

(vi) For a unit subject to the Acid Rain Program, a CAIR Trading Program, or a Transport Rule 

Program, that, as of the date of submission of this form, serves one or more generators 

(whether or not the generator produces electricity for sale), indicate the generator ID number 

and the nameplate capacity (in MWe) of each generator served by the unit. A unit serves a 

generator if it produces, or is able to produce, steam, gas, or other heated medium for 

generating electricity at that generator. For combined cycle units, report separately the 

nameplate capacities of the generators associated with the combustion turbine and the steam 

turbine. Please ensure that the generator ID numbers entered are consistent with those 

reported to the EIA. 

The definitions of "nameplate capacity" under the Acid Rain Program and under the 

CAIR/Transport Rule Programs differ slightly. Therefore, for a unit subject to the Acid Rain 

Program and any CAIR/Transport Rule Program, the nameplate capacity for the same 

generator under the Acid Rain Program and under the CAIR/Transport Rule Program may differ 

in certain limited circumstances. Specifically, for a unit subject to the Acid Rain Program, the 

nameplate capacity of a generator, if listed in the National Allowance Database ("NADB"), is not 

affected by physical changes to the generator after initial installation that result in an increase in 

the maximum electrical generating output that the generator is capable of producing. 

Otherwise, for a unit subject to the Acid Rain Program or a CAIR/Transport Rule Program, the 

nameplate capacity of a generator is affected by physical changes to the generator after initial 

installation that result in an increase in the maximum electrical generating output that the 

generator is capable of producing. In such a case, the higher maximum electrical generating 

output number in MWe should be reported in the nameplate capacity column. Enter "NA" if, as 

of the date of submission of this form, the unit does not serve a generator.
4

See the definition of "nameplate capacity" at 40 CFR 72.2, 96.102, 97.102, 96.202, 97.202, 

96.302, 97.302, 97.402, 97.502, 97.602, and 97.702, as applicable. The NADB is located at the 

CAMD website at http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/trading/allocations.html. If you have questions 

regarding nameplate capacity, contact Robert Miller at miller.robertl@epa.gov or (202) 343-

9077; if you have questions regarding the NADB, contact Craig Hillock at hillock.craig@epa.gov

or (202) 343-9105.

(vii) Enter the company name of each owner and operator in the "Company Name" field. 

Indicate whether the company is the owner, operator, or both. For new units, if the operator of a 

unit has not yet been chosen, indicate that the owner is both the owner and operator and submit 

a revised form when the operator has been selected within 30 days of the effective date of the 

selection. EPA must be notified of changes to owners and operators within 30 days of the 

effective date of the change. You are strongly encouraged to use the CAMD Business 

System to provide updated information on owners and operators.

(viii) Indicate whether or not the unit is located in Indian Country. For more information see the 

definition of “Indian Country” at 40 CFR 97.402, 97.502, 97.602 and 97.702. 

(ix) When identifying a unit at a facility for the first time, indicate whether or not the unit was 

moved from another facility. If the answer is “yes”, the EPA will contact the owners/operator for 

more information.
