(5) For any registration which meets the emission limitations
of Level 1 as required in subsection (g) of this section:
(A) Within 180 days after start of operation or implemented
changes (whichever occurs first), the facilities must be registered
through ePermits form "APD OGS PBR Level 1 and 2 Registration" (or
if not available, submittal of hard-copy).
(B) This registration shall include a detailed summary
of maximum emissions estimates based on:
(i) site-specific or defined representative gas and
liquid analysis;
(ii) equipment design specifications and operations;
(iii) material type and throughput;
(iv) other actual parameters essential for accuracy
for determining emissions; and
(v) documentation demonstrating compliance with all
applicable requirements of this section.
(C) The fee for this registration shall be $25 for
small businesses, as defined in §106.50 of this title, or $175
for all others.
(6) For any registration which meets the emission limitations
of Level 2 as required in subsection (h) of this section:
(A) Within 90 days after start of operation or implemented
changes (whichever occurs first), the facilities must be registered
through ePermits form "APD OGS PBR Level 1 and 2 Registration" (or
if not available, submittal of hard-copy).
(B) This registration shall include a detailed summary
of maximum emissions estimates based on:
(i) site-specific or defined representative gas and
liquid analysis;
(ii) equipment design specifications and operations;
(iii) material type and throughput; and
(iv) other actual parameters essential for accuracy
for determining emissions and compliance with all applicable requirements
of this section.
(C) The fee for this registration shall be $75 for
small businesses (as defined in §106.50 of this title) or $400
for all others.
(7) Certified registrations or certifications are required
in the following circumstances:
(A) For projects at existing major sites, establish
emission increases less than any applicable threshold or contemporaneous
emission increases for major sources or major modifications under
prevention of significant deterioration (PSD), nonattainment new source
review (NNSR) as specified in §116.12 of this title and in Federal
Clean Air Act §112(g), §112(j), or the definition of major
source in §122.10 of this title.
(B) If a project or registration includes control for
reductions, limited hours, throughput, and materials or other operational
limitations which are less than the potential to emit, and if modeling
is used to demonstrate compliance with subsection (k) of this section.
(C) If a project is located at a site subject to NOX cap and trade requirements in Chapter 101,
Subchapter H of this title (relating to Emissions Banking and Trading)
or relies on controls to comply with any state or federal regulation.
(D) For projects which resolve compliance issues and
are the result of a commission or United States Environmental Protection
Agency order.
(8) If the ePermits system is not available for more
than 24 hours or not otherwise accessible, hard copies of notifications,
registrations, or certifications may be submitted by first-class mail.
(9) If emissions increase at an OGS to a level where
it exceeds its current authorization, either through a change in production
or addition of facilities, the site may claim and register its facilities
under the applicable authorization (Level 1 or Level 2 PBR or Standard
Permit) as follows:
(A) Within 90 days from the initial notification of
construction of an oil and gas facility, a registration can update
the authorization mechanism by submitting a revision to the PBR or
an application for a standard permit; and
(B) Within 90 days of the change of production or installation
of additional equipment, a revision to the PBR or an application for
a standard permit has been submitted.
(g) Level 1 Requirements. Total maximum estimated emissions
shall meet the most stringent of the following. All emissions estimates
must be based on representative worst-case operations and planned
MSS activities.
(1) Emissions of any criteria air contaminant shall
not exceed the applicable limits for a major stationary source or
major modification for PSD, NNSR and in Federal Clean Air Act, §112(g), §112(j),
or the definition of major source in §122.10 of this title.
(2) Emissions must meet the limitations established
in subsection (k) of this section.
(3) Maximum emissions are limited to less than the
following after any operator limitations or controls:

(h) Level 2 Requirements. If the requirements of Level
1 cannot be met, then the conditions of this subsection must be followed.
Total maximum estimated registered or certified emissions shall meet
the most stringent of the following. All emissions estimates must
be based on representative worst-case operations and planned MSS activities.
(1) Total maximum estimated annual emissions of any
air contaminant shall not exceed the applicable limits for a major
stationary source or major modification for PSD and NNSR as specified
in §116.12 of this title.
(2) Emissions must meet the limitations established
in subsection (k) of this section.
(3) Maximum emissions are limited to less than the
following after any operator limitations or controls:

(i) Planned Maintenance, Startups and Shutdowns. For
any facility, group of facilities or site using this section or previous
versions of this section, the following shall apply.
(1) Prior to January 5, 2012, representations and registration
of planned MSS is voluntary, but if represented must meet the applicable
limits of this section. After January 5, 2012, all emissions from
planned MSS activities and facilities must be considered for compliance
with applicable limits of this section. This section may not be used
at a site or for facilities authorized under §116.111 of this
title if planned MSS has already been authorized under that permit.
(2) As specified, releases of air contaminants during,
or as result of, planned MSS must be quantified and meet the emission
limits in this section, as applicable. This analysis must include:
(A) alternate operational scenarios or redirection
of vent streams;
(B) pigging, purging, and blowdowns;
(C) temporary facilities if used for degassing or purging
of tanks, vessels, or other facilities;
(D) degassing or purging of tanks, vessels, or other
facilities; and
(E) management of sludge from pits, ponds, sumps, and

(3) Other planned MSS activities authorized by this
section are limited to the following. These planned MSS activities
require only recordkeeping of the activity.

lubricant changes, spark plug changes, and emission control system
maintenance.
(B) Boiler refractory replacements and cleanings.
(C) Heater and heat exchanger cleanings.
(D) Turbine hot section swaps.
