The notice of termination shall:
    (a) Specify the calendar year for which the approved conditional compliance option is to be terminated; and,
    (b) Certify that the source has obtained any necessary EPA approvals of the termination pursuant to Subpart D of 40 C.F.R. Parts 72, 74, and 76, each adopted and incorporated by reference at Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-204.800
