a) An owner or operator of a CAAPP source
				shall submit to the Agency four copies of a single complete CAAPP application
				covering all emission units and air pollution control equipment at the
				source.
b) A CAAPP application
				shall contain a table of contents and a list of items and activities for which
				a permit is being sought.
c) In
				accordance with Section 39.5(5)(c) of the Act, a CAAPP application shall
				contain all information sufficient to evaluate the subject source and its
				application, to determine all applicable requirements, including establishing
				the basis for fees, and to evaluate compliance of the subject source with these
				applicable requirements.
d)
				Information, as specified in Section
				270.402
				(excluding Section
				207.402(a)
				) through Section
				270.405
				of this Part, including data and calculations for emissions of hazardous air
				pollutants listed in Section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act, is not required to be
				submitted for insignificant activities or emission levels at the source, as
				defined by applicable Board regulations, provided a list of such activities or
				emission levels is submitted in the application identifying the particular
				definition under which each listed activity or emission level qualifies as
				significant and accompanied by a certification that all listed activities and
				emission levels qualify as insignificant, unless additional information is
				requested by the Agency.
e) A CAAPP
				application in which the owner or operator of a CAAPP source is seeking an
				alternative emission limit to that contained in the applicable Board
				regulations shall include a showing that the applicable Board regulation and
				State Implementation Plan adopted by USEPA allow for such an alternative
				emission limit to be set by the Agency in a permit and shall demonstrate that
				the proposed limit is equivalent to the applicable Board regulation.
f) A CAAPP application shall contain a
				certification by a responsible official that, based on information and belief
				formed by the responsible official after reasonable inquiry, the statements and
				information in the application are true, accurate, and complete. This
				certification shall be dated and signed by the responsible official.
g) An owner or operator of a CAAPP source
				which seeks exclusion from the CAAPP through the imposition of federally
				enforceable conditions, limiting the potential to emit of the source to a level
				below the major source threshold as described in Section 39.5(2)(c) of the Act,
				must request such exclusion within a CAAPP application submitted consistent
				with this Part on or after the date that the CAAPP application for the source
				is due. Prior to such date, but in no case later than nine months after the
				effective date of the CAAPP, such owner or operator may request the imposition
				of federally enforceable conditions pursuant to Section 39.5(1.1)(b) of the
				Act. (See Section 39.5(5)(u) of the Act)
h) Notwithstanding other provisions of this
				Subpart, once the Agency has issued a general permit for a source category, the
				Agency may waive the requirement for submittal of particular information in
				subsequent applications for coverage under such general permit, provided that
				such applications meet all requirements of Title V of the Clean Air Act and
				include all information necessary to determine qualification for and to assure
				compliance with the general permit.
