Notwithstanding any such change, all submissions, actions, and inactions 
by the previous designated representative prior to the time and date

units at the source.
    (b) Changing the alternate designated representative. The alternate 
designated representative may be changed at any time upon receipt by the 
Administrator of a superseding complete certificate of representation. 
Notwithstanding any such change, all submissions, actions, and inactions 
by the previous alternate designated representative prior to the time 
and date when the Administrator receives the superseding certificate of 
representation shall be binding on the new alternate designated 
representative and on the owners and operators of the source represented 
and the affected units at the source.
    (c) Changes in the owners and operators. (1) In the event a new 
owner or operator of an affected source or an affected unit is not 
included in the list of owners and operators submitted in the 
certificate of representation, such new owner or operator shall be 
deemed to be subject to and bound by the certificate of representation, 
the submissions, actions, and inactions of the designated representative 
and any alternative designated representative of the source or unit, and 
the decisions, actions, and inactions of the Administrator and 
permitting authority, as if the new owner or operator were included in 
such list.
    (2) Within 30 days following any change in the owners and operators 
of an affected unit, including the addition of a new owner or operator, 
the designated representative or any alternative designated
