An owner or operator who is required to submit ongoing compliance status reports on a quarterly or more frequent basis may reduce the frequency of reporting to semiannual if all of the following conditions are met:
NR 463.106(7)(b)1.a.
a. For one full year, the ongoing compliance status reports, which may, for example, be quarterly or monthly, demonstrate that the affected source is in compliance with the relevant emission limit.

NR 463.106(7)(b)2.
2. The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports may be reduced only after the owner or operator notifies the department in writing of the owner or operator's intention to make such a change, and the department does not object to the intended change. In deciding whether to approve a reduced reporting frequency, the department may review information concerning the source's entire previous performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period prior to the intended change, or the recordkeeping period since the source's compliance date, whichever is shorter. Records subject to review may include performance test results, monitoring data and evaluations of an owner or operator's conformance with emission limitations and work practice standards. The information may be used by the department to make a judgment about the source's potential for noncompliance in the future. If the department disapproves the owner or operator's request to reduce reporting frequency, the department shall notify the owner or operator in writing within 45 days after receiving notice of the owner or operator's intention. The notification from the department to the owner or operator will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 45 days, approval is automatically granted.
NR 463.106(7)(b)3.
3. As soon as the monitoring data required by
s. NR 463.07 show that the source is not in compliance with the relevant emission limit, the frequency of reporting shall revert to quarterly, and the owner shall state this exceedance in the ongoing compliance status report for the next reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing compliance with the relevant emission limit for another full year, the owner or operator may again request approval from the department to reduce the reporting frequency as allowed by this paragraph.
