103.
(2)
Application.
An Application for a Construc-
tion Permit shall contain
as
a minimum, the
following data and information:

of the Rules and Regulations Governing
the Control
of Air Pollution of the
former State of Illinois Air Pollution
Control
Board;
or was,

in this
Chapter
shall be deemed to limit the power of
the Agency in this regard.
When deemed
appropriate as a condition to the issuance of
an Operating Permit, the Agency may require
that the permittee adequately maintain the
air pollution control equipment covered by
the permit.
To assure that such a maintenance
program is planned,
the Agency may require
that the permittee have a maintenance program
and keep such maintenance records as are
necessary to demonstrate compliance with this
Rule;

for separate Construction and Operating Permits,
the Agency may issue
a Joint Construction and
Operating Permit.
The Agency may adopt procedures
which:
set forth the circumstances under which
