 311 LOAN RATES
 311.1 BASIC RATE: The base loan rate shall be the two-year weighted average market rate of each pollutant for the Sacramento Federal Non-Attainment Area for Ozone plus an administrative fee for processing the loan applications. The base rate shall be established in March of each year for the following calendar year. If there have been no representative offset transactions in a given year, then the two-year weighted average market rate shall be based on the most recent continuous two year period where there are representative offset transactions. The base rate must be approved by the District Board of Directors with the recommendation of the Air Pollution Control Officer.

 315.2 Revocation or voluntary surrender of Authority to Construct or Permit to Operate. 
 315.3 Emission reduction credits are issued to the stationary source pursuant to Rule 204, EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS.

Prior to the Board of Directors issuing a moratorium, the Air Pollution Control Officer shall publish in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the District a notice of the date of the meeting of the District Board of Directors to consider such actions. The notice shall be published at least 30 days prior to the meeting. The moratorium shall be lifted upon determination that additional emission reductions within the District are not necessary by the District Board of Directors. 
 316.3 Starting with the 1999 emission inventory and every three years after that the District shall prepare a summary of District control measures listed in the table in Section 316.5(a) included in the Sacramento Area Regional Ozone Attainment Plan.
 316.4 The summary shall include the actual emission reductions realized for each control strategy and the total reactive organic compound emission reductions realized for the control measures. The summary shall be completed by July 1, 2000 and every three years thereafter.

 317.3 RANKING PROPOSALS: The selection criteria shall include, but not be limited to, cost, emission reduction potential, technical feasibility, and confidence. At the close of each RFP solicitation, staff will evaluate all proposals received and reject proposals not meeting the minimum selection criteria. 
 317.4 SELECTION OF PROGRAMS FOR FUNDING: By October of each year the Air Pollution Control Officer will recommend to the Board of Directors, based on the selection criteria identified in Section 317.3 above, a ranking of emission reduction programs selected for funding.
