United States Environmental Protection Agency Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Sources of Air Pollution in Indian Country http://www.epa.gov/air/tribal/tribalnsr.html Questionnaire for Notification of Coverage under the Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities in Indian Country Last Modified: March 23, 2015 Version 1.0 Does the Permit by Rule apply to my facility? The following questionnaire is intended to help you, the facility owner or operator, determine whether or not you are eligible for the Air Quality Permit by Rule for True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities in Indian Country. You are not required to complete this questionnaire and it is not necessary to gain coverage under the Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities. This questionnaire does not cover all of the Permit by Rule requirements and does not guarantee coverage of a true minor source preconstruction permit under this program. Description of Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities A petroleum dry cleaning facility may consist of dry cleaning dryers, washers, filters, stills, settling tanks, and boilers. This Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities Questionnaire is for petroleum dry cleaning facilities that are not major sources of air pollution and that are located, or planning to locate, within Indian country. About this Questionnaire The questions focus on general information pertaining to your existing or future petroleum dry cleaning facility. The questionnaire is not meant to be exhaustive and only requires knowledge of basic facility information, including the annual solvent usage and the capacities of the boilers. You should continue with this Questionnaire if you meet all of the following criteria: You plan to construct a true minor source petroleum dry cleaning facility OR you plan to modify an existing, true minor source petroleum dry cleaning facility; Your new or modified true minor source petroleum dry cleaning facility is located within Indian country; You do not know whether your facility needs a permit, or if you do not know the attainment status of your area and you want to find out whether you should seek the Permit by Rule for a petroleum dry cleaning facility; and You intend to satisfy the processes that the EPA has made available in the document entitled "Procedures to Address Threatened and Endangered Species and Historic Properties for New or Modified True Minor Sources in Indian Country Seeking Air Quality Permits by Rule" to address threatened and endangered species and historic properites. More Information The definition of a "modification" and "Potential to Emit" (or "PTE") can be found at 40 CFR 49.152(d) and in the "Instructions" document. Additional information on the applicability of the Federal Indian Country Minor New Source Review (NSR) Rule can be found at 40 CFR 49.153. Information on the ozone attainment status of the area where your facility is located can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/airqualitv/greenbook/. You may also contact your reviewing authority for information on your attainment status. Please contact your reviewing authority if you have questions or need assistance.
