1. The owners and operators and, to the extent applicable, the NOx authorized account representative of each
NOx Budget source and each NOx Budget unit at the source shall comply with the monitoring requirements of
Rule 335-3-8-.12.
2. The emissions measurements recorded and reported in accordance with Rule 335-3-8-.12 shall be used to
determine compliance by the unit with the NOx Budget emissions limitation under paragraph (c).
(c) Nitrogen oxides requirements.
1. The owners and operators of each NOx Budget source and each NOx Budget unit at the source shall hold
NOx allowances available for compliance deductions under Rule 335-3-8-.10(5)(a), (b), (e), (f) or 335-3-8-
.10(6) as of the NOx allowance transfer deadline, in the unit's compliance account and the source’s overdraft
account in an amount not less than the total NOx emissions for the control period from the unit, as determined
in accordance with Rule 335-3-8-.12, plus any amount necessary to account for excess emissions for a prior
control period under Rule 335-3-8-.10(5)(d) or to account for withdrawal from the NOx Budget Trading
Program, or a change in regulatory status, of a NOx Budget opt-in unit under Rule 335-3-8-.13(7), or for a
change in regulatory status for a NOx Budget opt-in source under Rule 335-3-8-.13(8).
2. Each ton of nitrogen oxides emitted in excess of the NOx Budget emissions limitation shall constitute a
separate violation of the ADEM Air Code, the Clean Air Act, and applicable State law.
3. A NOx Budget unit shall be subject to the requirements under paragraph (c)1. starting on the later of May 1,
2004 or the date on which the unit commences operation.
4. NOx allowances shall be held in, deducted from, or transferred among NOx Allowance Tracking System
accounts in accordance with Rules 335-3-8-.09, 335-3-8-.10, 335-3-8-.11, and 335-3-8-.13 of the ADEM Air

a control period in a year prior to the year for which the NOx allowance was allocated.
6. A NOx allowance allocated by the Department or the Administrator under the NOx Budget Trading Program
is a limited authorization to emit one ton of nitrogen oxides in accordance with the NOx Budget Trading
Program. No provision of the NOx Budget Trading Program, the NOx Budget permit application, the NOx
Budget permit, or an exemption under Rule 335-3-8-.05(5) and no provision of law shall be construed to limit
the authority of the United States to terminate or limit such authorization.

allocation, transfer, or deduction of a NOx allowance to or from a NOx Budget unit's compliance account or
the overdraft account of the source where the unit is located is incorporated automatically in any NOx Budget
permit of the NOx Budget unit.

date the document is created. This period may be extended for cause, at any time prior to the end of 5 years,
in writing by the permitting authority or the Administrator.
(i) The account certificate of representation under Rule 335-3-8-.06(4) for the NOx authorized account
representative for the source and each NOx Budget unit at the source and all documents that demonstrate

documents shall be retained on site at the source beyond such 5-year period until such documents are
superseded because of the submission of a new account certificate of representation under § 97.13
changing the NOx authorized account representative.
(ii) All emissions monitoring information, in accordance with Rule 335-3-8-.12; provided that to the extent
that Rule 335-3-8-.12 provides for a 3-year period for recordkeeping, the 3-year period shall apply.
(iii) Copies of all reports, compliance certifications, and other submissions and all records made or
