Q179. Section 98.4(b) states the designated representative shall be an individual selected by an agreement binding on the owner or operator of the facility. What constitutes the "agreement"?

A179. The rule does not dictate the form or, in any detail, the content of the agreement or the procedure used in entering into the agreement and thus provides flexibility for owners and operators in developing such an agreement. However, the agreement must have the effect of binding the owners and operators of the facility to the selection, as their designated representative for the facility, of the individual who is listed in the certificate of representation.
