35-11-205. Application procedures.| (a) Any source required to have a permit under W.S. 35-11-203 shall, not later than twelve (12) months after the date on which the source becomes subject to the requirements of the operating permit program or such earlier date as the department may establish, submit to the department a compliance plan and an application for a permit signed by a responsible official, who shall certify the accuracy of the information submitted. The department shall approve or disapprove a completed application, consistent with the procedures established under W.S. 35-11-204 for consideration of such applications, and shall issue or deny the permit, within eighteen (18) months after the date of receipt thereof, except that the department shall establish a phased schedule for acting on permit applications submitted within the first full year after the effective date of the operating permit program, or a partial or interim program. Any such schedule shall assure that at least one-third (1/3) of the permits will be acted on by the department annually over a period of not to exceed three (3) years after the effective date. The department shall establish reasonable procedures to prioritize approval or disapproval actions in the case of applications for construction or modification under the applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act and this article.  (b) Any source submitting a permit application shall submit with the application a compliance plan describing how the source will comply with all applicable requirements under this article and the Clean Air Act. The compliance plan shall include a schedule of compliance, and a schedule under which the permittee will submit progress reports to the department no less frequently than every six (6) months.  (c) Except for sources required to have a permit before construction or modification under the applicable requirements of this article or the Clean Air Act, if an applicant has submitted a timely and complete application for a permit or a renewal of a permit required by the operating permit program, but final action has not been taken on the application, the source's failure to have a permit shall not be a violation of W.S. 35-11-203, unless the delay in final action was due to the failure of the applicant to timely submit information required or requested to process the application. No source required to have a permit under the operating permit program shall be in violation of W.S. 35-11-203 before the date on which the source is required to submit an application under subsection (a) of this section.  (d) A copy of each permit application, compliance plan, schedule of compliance, emissions or compliance monitoring report, certification, and each permit issued under the operating permit program, shall be available to the public. If an applicant or permittee is required to submit information entitled to protection from disclosure under section 114(c) of the Clean Air Act, W.S. 35-11-1101(a) or 16-4-203(d)(v), the applicant or permittee may submit the information separately. The requirements of section 114(c), W.S. 35-11-1101(a) and 16-4-203(d)(v) shall apply to the information. The contents of a permit shall not be entitled to protection under section 114(c), W.S. 35-11-1101(a) or 16-4-203(d)(v).
