A. Air quality source registration and permits for minor sources: A person who submits an application for an air quality source registration pursuant to 20.11.40 NMAC or a permit pursuant to 20.11.41 NMAC shall pay the applicable fees provided in Section 20.11.2.18 NMAC.

B. 20.11.41 NMAC, Authority-to-Construct permits required to be issued before construction of a stationary source whose applicability is determined by 'pound-per-hour' or 'ton-per-year' emissions:

(1) Authority-to-construct application review fees shall be calculated based on the proposed source's proposed allowable emission rate for fee pollutants. Federally approved state implementation plan limitations may be used to determine a source's proposed allowable emission rate.

(2) Fugitive emissions shall be included in the application submittal to determine the source's proposed allowable emission rate.

(3) For sources that become subject to 20.11.42 NMAC, emissions from operations that the department determines to be insignificant activities shall not be included in the calculation.

If the number after the decimal point is 5 or greater, the whole number shall be rounded up to next whole number.
