(b) A compliance certification report shall not be required during an interim control period.
(c) The CO2 AAR shall include in the compliance certification report under (a), above, the following elements, in a format prescribed by the department:
(1) Identification of the source and each CO2 budget unit at the source;
(2) At the CO2 AAR's option, the serial numbers of the CO2 allowances that are to be deducted from the source's compliance account under Env-A 4605.06 for the control period, including the serial numbers of any CO2offset allowances that are to be deducted subject to the limitations of Env-A 4605.04; and
(3) The compliance certification specified in (c), below.
(d) In the compliance certification report required by (a), above, the CO2 AAR shall certify, based on reasonable inquiry of those individuals with primary responsibility for operating the source and the CO2 budget units at the source in compliance with the CO2 Budget Trading Program, whether the source and each CO2 budget unit at the source for which the compliance certification is submitted was operated during the calendar years covered by the report in compliance with the requirements of the CO2 Budget Trading Program, including:
(1) Whether the source was operated in compliance with the requirements of Env-A 4605;
(2) Whether the monitoring plan applicable to each unit at the source has been maintained to reflect the actual operation and monitoring of the unit, and contains all information necessary to attribute CO2 emissions to the unit, in accordance with Env-A 4609;
(3) Whether all CO2 emissions from the units at the source were monitored or accounted for through the missing data procedures specified in 40 CFR part 75 Subpart D, or 40 CFR part 75 appendix D or appendix E and reported in the quarterly monitoring reports, including whether conditional data were reported in the quarterly reports in accordance with Env-A 4609. If conditional data were reported, the owner or operator shall indicate whether the status of all conditional data has been resolved and all necessary quarterly report resubmissions have been made;
(4) Whether the facts that form the basis for certification under Env-A 4609 of each monitor at each unit at the source, or for using an excepted monitoring method or alternative monitoring method approved under Env-A 4609, if any, have changed; and
(5) If a change is required to be reported under (c)(4), above, the nature of the change, the reason for the change, when the change occurred, and how the unit's compliance status was determined subsequent to the change, including what method was used to determine emissions when a change mandated the need for monitor recertification.
