New or Modified True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities in Indian
Country

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. A list of reviewing authorities, their
area of coverage, and contact information can be found in Attachment D to the Permit by Rule for True Minor Source
Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities or visit: http://www.epa.gov/air/tribal/tribalnsr.html.

Sources eligible for the Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Source Auto Body Repair and Miscellaneous
Surface Coating Operations may also be subject to federal standards under 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJ, Standards of
Performance for Petroleum Dry Cleaners (Subpart JJ). The conditions applicable to sources seeking coverage under this
Permit by Rule are intended to be generally consistent with the requirements in Subpart JJ. However, compliance with
the applicable requirements in Subpart JJ is required independent of the conditions in the Permit by Rule, and not all
requirements applicable under Subpart JJ are necessarily included in the Permit by Rule. The Background Document for
the Permit by Rule identifies the specific requirements in Subpart JJ that are intended to be included in the Permit by
Rule.

Questionnaire for Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities

Part 1: Does my Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facility Need or Qualify for a True Minor Source Permit?

The following questions are meant to determine whether or not your petroleum dry cleaning facility qualifies for a
permit by rule.

1.	Will the PTE of your facility be less than 250 tons per year (tpy) for particulate matter (PM, PMio, or PM2.5),
volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (S02), each
individually? Be sure to include all existing, new, and modified emission units at your facility.

I | Yes Q No

If you answered 'No/ your source does not qualify for the Permit by Rule. Please contact your reviewing
authority to apply for a site-specific permit. If you answered 'Yes/ continue on to the next question.

2.	Will the PTE of your new facility or the increase in potential emissions from your modified existing facility be
equal to or above the applicable minor NSR thresholds listed below for ANY pollutant? The emissions from your
facility may be calculated using the PTE calculator available online at:

http://www.epa.gov/air/tribal/tribalnsr.html. Be sure to include all new and modified emission units at your
facility.
