				simultaneously for the renewal of a source license and/or amendments under more
				than one section of this Chapter, the source may submit one application
				covering all required information for each relevant section.
B.
Required application form and
				additional information.
The application shall include an application
				form prescribed by the Department and additional information required by the

				omit information needed to determine the applicability of, or to impose, any
				requirement, or to evaluate the fee amount. An application for a Minor

				the proposed amendment. The application form and the additional required
				information shall include, but is not limited to, the following elements:
(1) Identifying information, including owner
				or operator name (legal name as registered with the Secretary of State),
				facility site name and physical site location, facility mailing address,
				responsible official's name, and name(s) with corresponding contact information
				for the facility manager/contact;
(2) Identification of the source's processes
				and products;
(3) Any insignificant
				activities which the source proposes to be qualified as substantially
				equivalent to the insignificant activities specified in Appendix B of this
				Chapter;
(4) The following
				emissions related information for units and activities that are not
				insignificant activities (the Department may waive the requirement to submit
				any or all of items (a)-(h) if the information required is deemed not pertinent
				to the application):
(a) All emissions of
				regulated pollutants;
(b) Any
				additional emissions-related information necessary to verify which requirements
				are applicable to the source or to calculate annual license fees;
(c) Identification and description of all
				points of emissions described in (a) and (b) above in sufficient detail to
				establish the source's applicability to any requirements;
(d) Emission rates in such terms as are
				necessary to establish compliance with applicable requirements and consistent
				with the applicable EPA standard reference test method and compliance
				consistent with the applicable emission limit;
(e) The following information to the extent
				it is needed to determine or regulate emissions: fuel types, fuel use, raw
				materials, production rates, and operating schedules;

				source;

				and results of previously performed stack testing. This information shall not
				be used in the completeness determination of the application, unless the
				information is required as part of a New Source Review application;
(7) Results of meteorology or air quality
				monitoring if required by the Department, including an analysis of
				meteorological and topographical data necessary to evaluate the air quality
				impact pursuant to Section 7 of this Chapter. The information required pursuant

				determination of the application, unless the information is required as part of
				a New Source Review application; and
(8) If any regulated pollutant from an
				existing source has or will have a significant impact, a description of the
				factors used in the ambient air quality impact analysis pursuant to Section 7
				of this Chapter. The information required pursuant to Section 7 of this Chapter
				shall not be used in the completeness determination of the application, unless
