(2) Estimated actual emissions of NOx and VOC, in tons per year.

(3) Any supporting information required by the director to confirm compliance with paragraph (B) of this rule.

(C) Exemptions:

(2) R&D sources at a facility where the combined potential to emit for all of the R&D sources is less than five tons per year for NOx and less than five tons per year for VOC or where the owner or operator maintains records which demonstrate that the combined actual emissions for all of the R&D sources does not exceed five tons per year for NOx and five tons per year for VOC, are not required to complete the emission statement.
