Procedures for integration of the two processes are as follows: 1. The owner or operator of an existing stationary source with an operating permit, applying to modify the stationary source, may elect to integrate new source review and modification of the operating permit by so indicating, in writing, at the time it files its permit application under Part 9 of this Subchapter (Air Pollution Control Permits). The Office of Air Resources shall process the applications in accordance with the procedures in § 29.13.2 of this Part. A proposed permit for the modification shall be provided to the EPA for review as provided in § 29.13.2(H) of this Part, along with a proposed administrative permit amendment to the stationary source's operating permit. The administrative permit amendment shall incorporate into the operating permit all terms and conditions of the proposed permit and include compliance requirements for any new or modified emissions unit substantially equivalent to those contained in § 29.10 of this Part.2. Any person who proposes to construct a new stationary source, may elect to integrate new source review and initial operating permit issuance by concurrently filing with the Office of Air Resources a permit application under Part 9 of this Subchapter (Air Pollution Control Permits) and an operating permit application. The Office of Air Resources shall process the applications in accordance with the procedures in § 29.13.2 of this Part. The Office of Air Resources shall process the two applications in parallel and consolidate all required public hearings, comment periods and EPA review periods.
