What are the transfer requirements for Notices of Intent (NOI)?
A. The principles for transfer of permits apply to NOIs also. Some significant exceptions follow. The new owner/operator of a non-portable (site-specific) source will notify the Department according to 20.2.73.200.E(3) NMAC. There is no regulatory authority for the Department to cancel a NOI if the equipment has not operated, so moving covered equipment outside the Department’s jurisdiction does not impose any need to return it to keep an NOI from being cancelled. A NOI that includes multiple portable engines will remain with the addressee on the NOI when some of the engines are transferred to another owner, unless that addressee notifies the Department of his desire to convey that NOI to another person, who will become the owner of all the equipment listed in the NOI. New owners of portable engines must apply to the Department for the appropriate authorization to operate the equipment.
