1. (a) Registration to use a standard permit shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivered to the executive director, the appropriate commission regional office, and any local air pollution program with jurisdiction, before a standard permit can be used. The registration must be submitted on a Form PI-1S and must document compliance with the requirements of this section, including, but not limited to:

   1. (1) the basis of emission estimates;
   2. (2) quantification of all emission increases and decreases associated with the project being registered;
   3. (3) sufficient information as may be necessary to demonstrate that the project will comply with §116.610(b) of this title (relating to Applicability);
   4. (4) information that describes efforts to be taken to minimize any collateral emissions increases that will result from the project;
   5. (5) a description of the project and related process; and
   6. (6) a description of any equipment being installed.
2. (b) Construction may begin any time after receipt of written notification from the executive director that there are no objections or 45 days after receipt by the executive director of the registration, whichever occurs first, except where a different time period is specified for a particular standard permit.
3. (c) Any person using a standard permit may certify and register a federally enforceable emission limitation for one or more air contaminants by stating a maximum allowable emission rate in the registration. The certification may be amended and must include documentation of the basis of emission estimates and a written statement by the registrant certifying that the maximum emission rates listed on the registration reflect the reasonably anticipated maximums for operation of the facility. The certified registration shall be maintained on-site and be provided upon request to a representative of the executive director or any air pollution control agency having jurisdiction. For facilities that normally operate unattended, this information shall be maintained at the nearest staffed location within Texas specified by the standard permit holder in the standard permit registration.
