     "Actual emissions" means the total amount of regulated air pollutants emitted from a given facility during a particular calendar year, determined using methods contained in 252:100-5-2.1(d).
     "Best Available Control Technology" or "BACT" means the best control technology that is currently available as determined by the Division Director on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs.
     "Commence" means, as applied to the construction or modification of a minor facility to which neither a NSPS or NESHAP applies, that the owner or operator has begun the construction or installation of the emitting equipment on a pad or in the final location at the facility.
     "De minimis facility" means a facility that
               (A)  Is on the de minimis list contained in Appendix H or meets all of the following de minimis criteria:

     "Minor facility" means a facility which is not a Part 70 source.
     "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants" or "NESHAP" means those standards as published by the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to Section 112 of the Federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 7412.

          (3)  Any applicant who fails to submit any relevant facts or who has submitted incorrect information in a permit application shall, upon becoming aware of such failure or incorrect submittal, submit such supplementary facts or corrected information within 30 days unless the applicant's request for more time has been approved by the DEQ.  In addition, an applicant shall provide additional information as necessary to address any requirements that become applicable to the source after the date it filed a complete application but prior to release of the draft permit.

     (d)  Applicability determination.  Upon written request along with the required fee and any relevant information needed, the DEQ will make a determination of whether a permit is required.

     (e)  Change in permit status.  The owner or operator of a permitted facility may at any time notify the DEQ that the facility:
          (1)  Is de minimis, requesting termination of the permit, or
          (2)  Qualifies for either a permit by rule or a general permit, submitting the appropriate application for such permit.

     (f)  Transfer of permit.  The transfer of ownership of a stationary source or a facility shall subject the new owner or operator to existing permit conditions and/or compliance schedules.  A new permit is not required.  The transferor shall notify the AQD in writing no later than 10 days following the change in ownership.
