Rule 3745-103-39 | Allowance allocation for combustion sources becoming opt-in sources on a date other than January first.
(A) Date of entry.
(1) If an opt-in source provided monthly data under rule 3745-103-33 of the Administrative Code, the opt-in source's opt-in permit may become effective at the beginning of a calendar quarter as of January first, April first, July first, or October first.
(2) If an opt-in source provided annual data under rule 3745-103-33 of the Administrative Code, the opt-in source's opt-in permit becomes effective on January first.
(B) Prorating by calendar quarter. Where a combustion source's opt-in permit becomes effective on April first, July first, or October first of a given year, the USEPA will prorate the allowance allocation for that first year by the calendar quarters remaining in the year as follows:
Allowances for the first year
= ((First Year Partial Baseline)/(Baseline or Alternate Baseline)) x (Annual Allocation of Allowances for the First Year)
