       4. For a PSD pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one consecutive 24-month period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for all the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24-month period can be used for each PSD pollutant.

       5. The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24-month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by subparagraphs (b)2. and 3., above.

       1. The actual emissions representative of sources in existence on the applicable minor source baseline date, except as provided at paragraph (b), below; and,

       2. The federally enforceable allowable emissions of major stationary sources on which construction commenced on or before the major source baseline date but which were not in operation by the applicable minor source baseline date.

    2. (b) The baseline concentration shall not include the concentration attributable to the following emissions; rather, such emissions shall affect the amount of any applicable allowable increase remaining available:

       1. The actual emissions from any major stationary source on which construction commenced after the major source baseline date; and,

       2. Any increase or decrease in the actual emissions of facilities occurring after the applicable minor source baseline date.

    3.
