2m. An existing major stationary source for a regulated NSR contaminant other than GHG, which will have an emissions increase of a regulated NSR contaminant other than GHG, and an emissions increase of 75,000 tpy or more of GHG on a carbon dioxide equivalent basis.
NR 405.07 Note
Note: The department intends to regulate GHG consistent with the
40 CFR 51.166 (June 3, 2010). In the event of litigation or congressional action which impacts the federal regulations, the department will commence rulemaking to remain consistent with the resulting federal regulations.
NR 405.07(9)(b)
(b) For purposes of this subsection, emissions of GHG on a carbon dioxide equivalent basis shall be determined by multiplying the mass amount of emissions, in tons per year, for each of the constituent gases in the pollutant GHG by the associated global warming potential for the gas in Table B, and then summing the products obtained.

NR 405.11(1)(a)(a) Any application for a permit under this chapter shall contain an analysis of ambient air quality in the area that the major stationary source or major modification would affect for each of the following air contaminants:
NR 405.11(1)(a)1.
1. For the major source, each air contaminant that it would have the potential to emit in a significant amount.
NR 405.11(1)(a)2.
2. For the major modification, each air contaminant for which it would result in a significant net emissions increase.
NR 405.11(1)(b)
(b) For any air contaminant for which no national ambient air quality standard exists, the analysis shall contain such air quality monitoring data as the department determines is necessary to assess ambient air quality for that air contaminant in any area that the emissions of that air contaminant would affect.
NR 405.11(1)(c)
(c) For any air contaminant for which a standard does exist, the analysis shall contain continuous air quality monitoring data gathered for purposes of determining whether emissions of that air contaminant would cause or contribute to a violation of the standard or any maximum allowable increase.
NR 405.11(1)(d)
(d) In general, the continuous air monitoring data that is required shall be gathered over a period of one year and shall represent the year preceding receipt of the application, except that, if the department determines that a complete and adequate analysis can be accomplished with monitoring data gathered over a period shorter than one year (but not to be less than 4 months), the data that is required shall be gathered over at least that shorter period.
NR 405.11(1)(e)
(e) The owner or operator of a proposed major stationary source or major modification of volatile organic compounds who satisfies all conditions of
40 CFR part 51, Appendix S, section IV, incorporated by reference in
