UA1 (Facility Information), UA3 (the old \u2018Attachments\u2019), and UA4 (modeling report) are in Microsoft Word format. UA2 (the tables) is in Microsoft Excel format, which allows applicants to link their emission calculation spread sheets to the tables.&nbsp;A tab in the UA2 application form facilitates inclusion of emission calculations within the form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When beginning the application process, facilities should always download and use the most current version of the UA. Facilities that have already begun filling out an out-of-date UA form may submit on that form.&nbsp;However, the Department may require submission of additional information required by later versions of the application form. New applications should use the most recently published form.&nbsp;The forms include a change log that indicates the earliest version of the form still accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.env.nm.gov\/air-quality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/AQBP-NSR-Public-Notice-Guidance-Rev2025.05.16.docx\">Public Notice Guidance<\/a>&nbsp;when submitting construction permit applications and modifications. <br>Include the required <a href=\"\/air-quality\/permit-fees-2\/\">Permit Fee<\/a> with your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/service.web.env.nm.gov\/urls\/VIxZaaIJ\">UA1.doc <\/a>Facility Information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/service.web.env.nm.gov\/urls\/VRLsHRaz\">UA2.xls <\/a>Tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/service.web.env.nm.gov\/urls\/KhSvzmLy\">UA3.doc <\/a>Application Details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/service.web.env.nm.gov\/urls\/NGSCajec\">UA4.doc<\/a> Air Dispersion Modeling Report (updated January 3, 2024)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>New applications should use the most recently published form.&nbsp;The forms include a change log that indicates the earliest version of the form still accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/service.web.env.nm.gov\/urls\/BFCmDCml\">Compliance History Disclosure Form<\/a> is required for all NSR and TV applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air quality dispersion&nbsp;modeling&nbsp;is required to be submitted with the application for all 20.2.72, 20.2.74, and 20.2.79 NMAC permits, except streamline permits (under 20.2.72.300 NMAC) and GCP permits (under 20.2.72.220 NMAC).&nbsp;Modeling is not required for 20.2.73 NMAC Notices of Intent (NOI).

This form has subsections that are specific to the type of revision, amendment, or notification being requested.
