- (a) Baseline amounts. Baseline amounts established under this subchapter may be adjusted based on final quality assured emissions inventory data.
- (b) Compliance schedule. Within 90 calendar days of receipt of final quality assured emissions inventory data or by March 31 of the calendar year immediately following the emissions inventory reporting year, whichever comes first, the owner or operator of each major stationary source or Section 185 Account must submit to the executive director a request to adjust the baseline amount on a form published by the executive director.
- (c) Review. Where the baseline amount does not align with information recorded in either the emissions inventory database or the air permitting data systems, the executive director may direct that the baseline amount be based on the lower of the reported emissions under §101.10 of this title (relating to Emissions Inventory Requirements) or total annual authorized emissions. After review, the baseline amount will be fixed and will not change except as allowed under this subchapter.
- (d) Fee assessment. After review, the adjusted baseline amount will be applied starting with the fee assessment year after the review and will continue until the Failure to Attain Fee no longer applies to the area as specified under §101.718 of this title (relating to Cessation of Program). No refunds or credits will be applied to fees previously paid.
