Common use of Sign Up Procedures Clause in Contracts

Sign Up Procedures. To participate in the Air Compliance Agreement, eligible AFOs should sign the Air Compliance Agreement and fill out Attachment A to the Agreement (the Farm and Emission Unit Information Sheets). A copy of the Agreement and all attachments can be downloaded from EPA’s Web site at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx. The signed Agreement should be returned to EPA during the 90-day sign-up period that commences on the date of this notice. EPA will not sign the Agreement and forward it to EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board for approval until after the conclusion of the public comment period. Owners and operators of AFOs who want to sign Air Compliance Agreements with EPA will need to provide all of the following information on the Farm and Emission Unit Information Sheets for each AFO they would like to be covered by the Compliance Agreement: • The name and address of the Respondent signing the Air Compliance Agreement; • The name of each facility to be covered by the Agreement; • The name of the owner and operator of each facility, including whether it is a contract grower facility; • The location of all the covered facilities; • The animal type and number of animals at each facility; • The type of animal housing structure and number of structures at each facility; • The type of manure handling system and the number of manure storage areas (e.g., manure piles or lagoons) at each facility; • The capacity and surface area, if applicable, of all manure storage areas at each facility; and, • A description of any emission control technology or nontraditional manure treatment systems at each facility. Signed Air Compliance Agreements, including all properly filled out attachments, should be sent to: Special Litigation and Projects Division (2248A), Attn: Air Compliance Agreements, Office of Regulatory Enforcement, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, U.S. EPA, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx., XX., Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000. At the end of the sign-up period, EPA will determine whether a sufficient number of AFOs of each species have elected to participate. The determination will be based on whether the number of participants is sufficient to fully fund the monitoring study and whether the number of participants for each type of operation is sufficient to provide a representative sample to monitor. If the total number of participants is insufficient, EPA will not sign any Air Compliance Agreements and will not proceed with the monitoring study. If, however, the total number of participants is sufficient but there are an insufficient number of AFOs with a particular species or type of operation, EPA may decline to sign Air Compliance Agreements with those particular operations and decide not to proceed with the monitoring of that type of operation. No later than 30 days after the end of the sign-up period, EPA will decide whether to proceed with all, part, or none of the monitoring study and will sign the Air Compliance Agreements and forward them to EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) for final approval.
