Several federal subparts have been incorporated by reference by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) and became effective September 12, 2014.

Emissions Inventory/Permit by Rule Reporting – Subchapter 5.

Emissions Inventory revises the current emission inventory reporting schedule for all minor source facilities registered under a permit-by-rule (PBR). The rule requires PBR facilities to submit an annual emission inventory for the first calendar year in which the facility is registered. PBR facilities with emissions greater than five tons per year must file an emission inventory every three years and PBR facilities with emissions of five tons or less per year to file an emission inventory every six years. The rule clarifies language and adjusts enforceable requirements and compliance dates consistent with federal requirements.
