Allowances for the first year

(1) For combustion sources that commenced operations before January 1, 1985,

(2) For combustion sources that commenced operations after January 1, 1985,

(a) "Remaining calendar quarters" shall be the calendar quarters in the first year for which the opt-in permit will be effective.

And where starting month = April, if effective date is April first;
