				  Air Resources may, after notice and opportunity for public participation
				  provided in §§ 29.13.2(C) through (M) of this Part, issue a general
				  permit covering numerous similar stationary sources. A complete application
				  need not be received before issuance of a general permit. Any general permit
				  will comply with all requirements applicable to other stationary sources
				  subject to this regulation and will identify criteria by which stationary
				  sources may qualify for a general permit. To stationary sources that qualify,
				  the Office of Air Resources shall grant the conditions and terms of the general
				  permit. Notwithstanding, the shield provisions of §
										29.10(K)
				  of this Part, the stationary source shall be subject to enforcement action for
				  operation without an operating permit if the stationary source is later
				  determined not to qualify for the conditions and terms of the general permit.
				  General permits shall not be authorized for affected sources under the acid
				  rain program unless otherwise provided in regulations promulgated under
				  42 U.S.C. §§
											7651-7651o (CAA §§
				  401-416).
B. Stationary sources
				  that would qualify for a general permit must apply to the Office of Air
				  Resources for coverage under the terms of the general permit or must apply for
				  an operating permit consistent with §
										29.9 of this Part. The
				  Office of Air Resources may, in the general permit, provide for applications
				  which deviate from the requirements of §
										29.9 of this Part, provided
				  that such applications meet the requirements of
				  42 U.S.C. §§
											7661-7661f (CAA §§ 501-507),
				  and include all information necessary to determine qualification for, and to
				  assure compliance within the general permit. Without repeating the public
				  participation procedures required under §§ 29.13.2(D) through (M) of
				  this Part, the Office of Air Resources may grant a stationary source's request
				  for authorization to operate under a general permit but such authorization
				  shall not be a final permit action for purposes of judicial review.
