(iv) The following information to the extent it is needed to determine or regulate emissions: fuels, fuel use, raw materials, production rates and operating schedules.

(v) Identification and description of air pollution control equipment and compliance monitoring devices or activities including enhanced monitoring protocols required by 40 CFR Part 64 (relating to enhanced monitoring).

(vi) Limitations on source operation affecting emissions or work practice standards, when applicable, for Title V regulated pollutants at each stationary air contamination source.

(vii) Other information required by an applicable requirement, including information related to stack height limitations developed under section 123 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. § 7423).

(viii) Calculations on which the information in subparagraphs (i)—(vii) is based.

(4) The following air pollution control requirements:

(i) The citation and description of applicable requirements.

(ii) A description of or reference to an applicable test method for determining compliance with each applicable requirement.

(5) Other specific information that may be necessary to implement and enforce other applicable requirements of the act, the Clean Air Act, this article or 40 CFR Part 70 (relating to state operating permit program) or to determine the applicability of the requirements.

(7) Additional information as determined to be necessary by the Department to define alternate operating scenarios identified by the source under § 127.447 (relating to alternate operating scenarios) or to define permit terms and conditions implementing § 127.448 (relating to emissions trading at facilities with Federally enforceable emission cap).

(8) A compliance plan for Title V facilities that contains the following information:

(i) A description of the compliance status of each stationary air contamination source with respect to applicable requirements.

(ii) A description as follows:

(A) A statement that the Title V facility will continue to comply with the requirements, for applicable requirements with which the Title V facility is in compliance.

(B) A statement that the Title V facility will meet the requirements on a timely basis, for applicable requirements that will become effective during the permit term.

(C) A narrative description of how the Title V facility will achieve compliance with the requirements, for requirements for which the Title V facility is not in compliance at the time of permit issuance.

(iii) A compliance schedule as follows:

(A) A statement that the Title V facility will continue to comply with the requirements, for applicable requirements with which the Title V facility is in compliance.

(B) A statement that the Title V facility will meet the requirements on a timely basis, for applicable requirements that will become effective during the permit term.

(10) A requirement for compliance certification, including the following:

(i) A certification of compliance with applicable requirements by a responsible official consistent with § 127.513 (relating to compliance certification) and section 114(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. § 7414(a)(3)).
