compliance by May 19, 2009 (a) Any owner or operator listed at N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(a) who has submitted a phased compliance plan to the Department is authorized to comply with the plan if the Department approves the plan pursuant to this section and N .J .A.C . 7:27- 19.14 . The owner or operator's compliance with the plan is in lieu of achieving by May 19, 2009 the NO, emission reductions required by Equation 1 at N .J.A.C. 7:27-19.29(c) . (b) By June 9, 2009, an owner or operator seeking approval of a phased compliance plan shall submit to the Department an application for approval of the phased compliance plan pursuant to N .J.A.C. 7:27-19.14. If an owner or operator fails to submit the application by June 9, 2009, the Department may reject the application . The Department may elect to process a late application, based on howlate the application is, the nature and extent of the owner or operator's efforts to submit the application on time, and whether the owner or operator advised the Department before the application due date that a late application would be submitted. If the Department elects to process a late application, the pendency of the application shall not be a defense to a violation of the requirement at N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(b)1 to achieve the NO,, emission reductions calculated pursuant to Equation 1 at N

.J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(c) to which the owner or operator is subject in the absence of an approved plan. In the application, the owner or operator shall include the following information in addition to the information required under N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.14: 1 . The phased compliance plan described in (c) below ; 2 . A description of the steps that the owner or operator has taken to obtain compliance with the NOx emission reduction requirements at N .J .A .C. 7:27-19.29; and Supp. 5-18-09 27-180 .0.4AIRPOLLUTIONCONTROL

3. For each measure included in the plan, a detailed explanation of the reasons why the owner or operator believes that implementation of the measure by May 19, 2009 is impracticable. (c) The owner or operator shall include the following information in the phased compliance plan with respect to each measure included in the plan: 1 . A description of the measure and how it is expected to reduce NOXemissions; 2 . For each measure that requires modification of a combustion source, such as installation of a control apparatus, a proposed schedule setting dates by which the owner or operator will complete the following milestones for the measure: i . Submit applications for all necessary permits and certificates; ii . Obtain all necessary permits and certificates; iii . Award contracts for the implementation of control measures or place orders for the purchase of component parts, equipment and/or, control apparatus necessary to attain compliance with the applicable NO,, emission limit underthis subchapter ; iv. Initiate construction and/or installation of the component parts, equipment and/or control apparatus necessary to attain compliance with the applicable NO, ; emission limit underthis subchapter ; and v. Attain full compliance with the NO,, emission reduction determined by Equation 1 at N .J .A.C. 7:27- 19.29(c) ; 3. For each NO,, emission reduction measure that does not require modification of a combustion source, a proposed schedule setting dates by which the owner or operator shall complete all applicable milestones for implementing the measure; and 4 . Any other information that the Department requests, which is reasonably necessary to enable it to determine whether each proposed NO, ; emission reduction measure will achieve the NO,, emission reduction determined by Equation 1 at N

.J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(c) . (d) The Department shall approve a phased compliance plan only if the following requirements are satisfied with respect to each NO,, emission reduction measure included in the plan: 1 . The application satisfies all the requirements of N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.14 and (b) above ; 2 . The information submitted under (b)2 above establishes that the owner or operator has made a good faith effort to obtain compliance with the NO, emission reduction determined by Equation 1 at N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(c) by 7:27-19.22 implementing all available NO,, emission reduction measures that can be reasonably implemented prior to May 19, 2009; 3. The information submitted under (b)3 above, evaluated in light of the criteria set forth in (e) below, establishes that it is impracticable for the NO, emission reduction measure to be implemented prior to May 19, 2009; and 4 . The interimperiod is less than 12 months. (e) In determining whether compliance with the emission reduction determined by Equation 1 at N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(c) by May 19, 2009 is impracticable, the Department shall apply the following criteria: 1. The amount of time needed to obtain all permits and certificates necessary to attain compliance, following the submission of an administratively complete application; 2. The amount of time needed to obtain all component parts and/or equipment necessary to obtain compliance, following the placement of orders for such parts and/or equipment. The estimate of time may reflect shortages in the supply of such parts and/or equipment; 3. The amount of time needed to complete construction and/or installation of the component parts and/or equipment necessary to attain compliance, following the initiation of construction and/or installation; and 4 . The nature, extent and probability of any harmto public safety or welfare that could result fromaccelerating construction and/or installation in order to attain compliance by May 19, 2009. For example, if it were probable that the owner or operator of the electric generating utility could not attain compliance by that date without subjecting a substantial number of customers to voltage reductions and/or interruptions in electric service, that fact would be relevant in establishing impracticability . (f) On the date that the approved phased compliance plan provides for the owner or operator to attain full compliance with the emission reduction determined by Equation 1 at N.J .A.C. 7:27-19.29(c), the Department's approval of the phased compliance plan shall expire. Upon expiration of the Department's approval, the owner or operator shall be subject to all applicable requirements of N .J.A.C. 7:27-19.29, including the NO,, emission reduction that would have been required in the absence of an approved plan. (g) An owner or operator who has obtained the Department's approval ofa phased compliance plan shall : 1 . Operate all combustion sources affected by the plan in a manner that complies with the plan and with all conditions ofthe Department's approval ; 2 . Meet all milestones in the approved phased compliance plan;

Any other information that the Department requests, which is reasonably necessary to enable it to determine whether the operation of combustion sources included in the plan will comply with the requirements of this section . (d) The Department shall approve an innovative control technology plan only if the following requirements are satisfied: 1 . The application satisfies all the requirements of N .J .A.C. 7:27-19.14 and (c) above, including the requirement that the plan consider all control technologies available for the control of NO,, emissions during the interim period from each type of combustion source included in the plan; 2 . The innovative control technology proposed for each combustion source in the plan: i . Has a substantial likelihood of enabling the source to achieve greater continuous NOX emissions reductions than are required to meet the applicabie-limit under N

.J .A .C. 7:27-19.4, 19.5, 19.7, 19.8, 19.9 or 19.10 . If the expected extent of NO,, emission reductions is only marginally greater than are required to meet the applicable limit, the proposed innovative control technology will not be deemed to meet this standard; ii . Is technically sound; iii . Is sufficiently developed so that it can be implemented by May 1, 1999 (or by November 7, 2009 for any facility, equipment or source operation that is subject to a NO, emissions limit underthis subchapter as set forth at N

.J .A.C. 7:27-19.5(d), 19.7(h), or 19.8(e)) ; and iv. Cannot practicably be implemented by May 31, 1995 (or by March 7, 2007 for any facility, equipment or source operation that is subject to a NO, emissions limit 7:27-19.23 under this subchapter as set forth at N .J .A .C. 7:27- 19.5(d), 19.7(h), or 19.8(e)) . 3. The completion date listed in (c)5v above is no later than May l, 1999; 4 . For any control technologies described in (c)7 above that the owner or operator does not propose to use with the combustion source during the interimperiod, the proposed plan demonstrates that the control technology: i . Would be ineffective in controlling NO,, emissions fromthe combustion source; ii . Is unsuitable for use with the combustion source, or duplicative of control technology which the plan proposes to use; iii . Would carry costs disproportionate to the improvement in the reduction of the NO,, emissions rate that the control technology is likely to achieve, or disproportionately large in comparison to the total reduction in NO, emissions that the control technology is likely to achieve during the interimperiod; or iv. Would carry costs disproportionate to the costs incurred for the control of NO, emissions fromthe same type of combustion sources used by other persons in the owner or operator's industry who are also subject to the NO, RACT requirements of P .L. 101-549, 182(f) . 5. For each combustion source included in the plan, the interimemission limit proposed under (c)13 above is the lowest rate that can practicably be achieved at a cost within the limits described in (d)4iii and iv above ; 6 . For each combustion source included in the plan, the cost of achieving an additional emission reduction beyond the interim emission limit proposed under (c)13 above would be disproportionate to the size and environmental impact of that additional emission reduction; and 7. The owner or operator has entered into an agreement with the Department in a ccordance with the requirements of (h) below

. (e) An owner or operator who has obtained the Department's approval of an innovative control technology plan shall : 1 . Beginning on May 31, 1995 (or on March 7, 2007 for any facility, equipment or source operation that is subject to a NO
