                          ACKNOWLEDGMENT



     This project would not have been possible without the excellent
cooperation of the many state and local air pollution control agencies and EPA
Regional Offices who submitted the necessary technical information.

     Special thanks are given to Mr. William Becker, Executive Secretary for
STAPPA and ALAPCO, Mr. John Paul from the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency
in Dayton, Ohio, representing ALAPCO, Robert H. Collom from the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources representing STAPPA, and other state, local, and
EPA Regional Office representatives who have provided recommendations,
guidance, and overall support for the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse effort over
the past several years.
                           INTRODUCTION


BACKGROUND

     The Clean Air Act prescribes several technology-based limitations
affecting new or modified air pollution sources:  1) new source performance
standards (NSPS);  2) best available control technology (BACT); and  3) lowest
achievable emission rate (LAER).  New Source Performance Standards are uniform
national emission standards set by EPA for specific categories of new or modified
stationary sources.  In addition to meeting NSPS when applicable, major new or
modified sources must also install either BACT or LAER, both of which are
determined on a case-by-case basis.  In all cases, BACT or LAER must be at least as
stringent as any applicable NSPS.  The BACT requirement, which is a part of the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration program (Sections 165 and 169 of the
Clean Air Act), applies to emissions in areas that are in attainment with
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).  The LAER requirement, which is a
part of the Nonattainment Program (Sections 171 and 172 of the Clean Air Act),
applies to emissions that affect areas that are not in attainment with the NAAQS. 
While the specific criteria governing a BACT, LAER, or NSPS emission limit vary,
the general underlying approach for all such determinations is to require "best
control" on all major new or modified sources.  Since 1977, state and local air
pollution control agencies have gradually assumed primary responsibility for
implementing BACT and LAER.  As this authority was decentralized from the Federal
government, it became important that information be made available to control
agencies to assist them in making control technology determinations in a
nationally consistent manner.
     The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) mandated several minor changes to
the BACT/LAER Clearinghouse.  Although the changes were minor, state and local
agencies should note them for future consideration.  The first change involved
the name and an addition to the type of data contained in the Clearinghouse.  The
name has been changed to the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) and now
includes reasonably available control technology (RACT) determinations.  RACT
is defined as the lowest emission limitation that a particular source is capable
of meeting by application of control technology that is reasonably available
considering technological and economic feasibility.  RACT is the minimum EPA can
accept in non-attainment state plans.  Control Technique Guideline (CTG)
documents are assembled by the EPA to assist state and local air pollution
control agencies in determining the level of control that should be required
within each area.  The RBLC accepts case-by-case RACT decisions, as well as
general RACT requirements, to assist state and local agencies in determining
what level of control other areas of the country are requiring and, in turn, what
level of control should be required within their jurisdiction. 
     The second change mandated by the 1990 CAAA involves LAER determinations. 
Prior to the 1990 CAAA, all submittals to the Clearinghouse were voluntary. 
However, Section 173(d) of the 1990 CAAA now mandates that state and local
agencies submit any and all LAER determinations that they issue.
     The basic purposes of the RBLC are to:  1) provide state and local air
pollution control agencies with current information on case-by-case control
technology determinations that are made nationwide, and 2) promote
communication, cooperation, and sharing of control technology information among
the permitting agencies.  The information presented in this compilation was
abstracted from preconstruction permits and submitted by the state and local air
pollution control agencies and EPA Regional offices.  The Clearinghouse is
intended as a reference for state and local agencies in making RACT/BACT/LAER
decisions.
     The RBLC's primary vehicle for sharing control technology information is a
database of all determinations submitted to the RBLC.  This RACT/BACT/LAER
Clearinghouse information system permits on-line querying of the database and
makes the results available for viewing on-screen or downloading to a PC.  This
information system also supports direct submittals of control technology
determinations by permitting agencies.  Routine access to the database is
available to anyone who has a personal computer equipped with a modem and
communication software.  The only costs are those for the telephone call.
     Until this year, the RBLC also published comprehensive compilations of new
and revised control technology determinations every five years.  The 1985 RBLC
compilation contains all determinations submitted to the Clearinghouse prior to
June 1985.  The 1990 RBLC compilation contains all determinations submitted to
the Clearinghouse from June 1985 to June 1990.  In between the years for the
comprehensive compilations and each year since 1990, the Clearinghouse
published annual supplements to the preceding compilation.  Because the RBLC BBS
contains complete and current information on all determinations submitted to the
Clearinghouse since it began operation and is easy to access and use, RBLC
clients have made the RBLC BBS their preferred method of accessing
determinations.  As a result of this development and the desire to avoid the
expense of printing a large report of questionable value to clients, the RBLC
decided to print an annual supplement in 1995 instead of a five year compilation. 
This 1995 edition, the fifth supplement to the 1990 compilation, contains
determinations submitted to the Clearinghouse from June 1994 to May 1995.
     All RBLC supplements contain detailed information only for those permits
entered into the Clearinghouse since the last published compilation or
supplement.  This edition also includes a comprehensive index of all permits
entered into the system since June 1990.  The 1995 edition adds 105 new
determinations entered into the system from June 1994 to May 1995.  In total, the
database now contains 3,171 determinations from 50 States and three territories. 
(The total is less than in 1993 because incomplete determinations for the state
of Washington were deleted in 1994 at the request of the submitting agency, Puget
Sound Air Pollution Control Agency.  Information on these determinations is
still available in the 1993 supplement and may also be downloaded from the RBLC
bulletin board system).
     Figure 1 summarizes the control technology determinations received since
the publication of the June 1994 report.  This listing contains the process type
code, the name of the company, and the identification number.  The listing is
provided to aid state and local agency personnel and other users in quickly
identifying new information available since the 1994 published edition of the
Clearinghouse.
REPORT FORMAT
     This RBLC report was prepared to provide basic control technology
information as well as to facilitate "quick scans" of company/facility name and
process type information.  It consists of three major parts presented in
Appendices F, G, and H:
          Appendix F - a summary listing of processes for all determinations
          entered since June 1990, sorted by facility name.  Information
          includes the name of the company, permit date, process type code,
          process description, and a RBLC ID number as a reference for
          additional information.  

          Appendix G - a summary listing of permitting agency contacts for all
          determinations entered since June 1990, sorted by process type
          code.  Information includes the name of the company, permit date,
          basic Agency contact information, and a RBLC ID number as a
          reference for additional information.

          Appendix H - a detailed listing, sorted by RBLC ID number, of all new
          individual facility information submitted to the Clearinghouse
          since the June 1994 publication.
A brief description of each table follows:

Appendix F - Index of Control Technology Determinations
     Appendix F summarizes all RACT/BACT/LAER determinations in the
Clearinghouse by facility name.  Use Appendix F for scanning the control
technology determinations entered for a particular company and the processes
covered by the determination.  Appendix F includes the date the permit was
issued, process type code and description, and a RBLC ID number (which indicates
the state where each facility is located) for locating the more detailed facility
information contained in Appendix H.  Appendix F includes a notation to indicate
whether a particular determination is listed in the 1991, 1992, 1993, or 1994
supplement.  If the notation "91", "92", "93", or "94", appears in front of the
company name, then a detailed listing of that determination will not appear in
this document; it may be found in the 1991, 1992, 1993, or 1994 supplement
documents.  If the notation is blank, detailed information on the facility can be
found in this supplement.


Appendix G - Control Technology Determinations by Process Type
     Appendix G summarizes the RACT/BACT/LAER determinations by process type. 
A complete listing of all process type codes is contained in Appendix B.  The user
should familiarize himself/herself with this listing in order to use Appendix G
effectively.  Appendix G includes the name of the company, the state where the
source is located, the agency issuing the permit, name of person to contact
within the agency for additional information, and a telephone number.  Again,
each entry in Appendix G has a RBLC ID number for locating the more detailed
facility information contained in Appendix H.  Appendix G includes a notation to
indicate whether a particular determination is listed in the 1991, 1992, 1993, or
1994 supplement.  If the notation is blank, detailed information on the facility
can be found in this supplement.

Appendix H - Detailed Source Listings
     In addition to Appendices F and G, a detailed listing of all new source data
is provided in Appendix H.  New determinations are initially entered into the
Transient database and, when approved by the RBLC staff, later promoted to the
Current database.  If new determinations contain incomplete or erroneous data,
and the RBLC staff cannot resolve these problems, the determinations may be
deleted.  This assures that all data promoted to the Current database is
accurate.  However, there is the potential that some determinations listed in
this supplement will be removed from the RBLC database at a  future date.
     Appendix H has two parts:  Part A and Part B.  Only Part A is included in this
supplement.  Part A lists details about control technologies and emission limits
for processes and pollutants.  Part B details scheduling information related to
permitting, as well as costs associated with control technology used for
pollutants.  Appendix H is intended to provide the maximum manageable amount of
technical and administrative information without duplicating a completed permit
application.
     Part A consists of:
               A RBLC ID number assigned by the Clearinghouse (consists of
               state abbreviation and a sequence number)
               the date the determination was inserted into the
               Clearinghouse
               the company name, plus street address, city, county, state,
               ZIP Code
               whether source is new or modified 
               the date the permit was issued
               the state permit number (or EPA Regional Office file number)
               the estimated start-up date
               the agency issuing the permit
               the contact person within the agency who is familiar with the
               control technology information
               agency telephone number for the contact person
               AIRS ID
               EPA ID
               description of the process or processes being permitted,
               throughput capacity and corresponding units
               process type code (where applicable)
               SCC code 
               pollutant name and emission limitations applicable to each
               permitted process
               standardized limits for pollutants
               basis for pollutant limit (RACT, BACT, LAER, etc.)
               CAS number
               control method code (indicates whether the facility uses
               pollution prevention, add-on control equipment, both
               methods, or no controls to meet the permitted emission limits)
               control method description that provides details about the
               specific control methods used
               percent efficiency for the control devices
               selected control option ranking 
               notes on the determination 
     In some cases, a second emission limit is applicable to a given
process/pollutant.  In those cases, this second emission limitation is referred
to in the main RACT/BACT/LAER database as the alternate limit.  Because the space
available in Appendix H is limited, alternate limits are not included in the
Appendix.  
     Abbreviations for processes and emission limitations have been developed. 
A complete list of these abbreviations is contained in Appendix A.  Some comments
have been received regarding the use of these abbreviations.  Every effort has
been made to use a standard set of abbreviations.  In some cases, however, this
was not possible.  The control agencies are encouraged to review the
abbreviations in Appendix A and submit any suggested revisions.  The
abbreviations are periodically reviewed and updated accordingly.      
     Part B has not been included in Appendix H because space is limited and
minimal data has been entered in the date and cost fields.  However, Part B is
available in the RBLC BBS database and consists of:
               A RBLC ID number assigned by the Clearinghouse (consists of
               state abbreviation and a sequence number)
               the date the determination was inserted into the
               Clearinghouse
               the company name, plus street address, city, county, state,
               ZIP Code
               the state permit number (or EPA Regional Office file number)

               received
               the estimated and actual date the control technology
               determination was made

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SYSTEM
     The RBLC has been operational on the Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards Technology Transfer Network (OAQPS TTN) bulletin board system (BBS)
since October 1, 1992.  In the process of reprogramming the RBLC for the move to
the TTN from the IBM 9000 at the National Computer Center (NCC), the search
routine was significantly improved.  Users of the TTN Clearinghouse can search on
any of up to nine of 23 components, and users can now perform word searches on most
of the searchable components.  Searchable components have been designated as
"required" fields for new determinations.  The information must be provided by
submitting agencies in order for searches to produce valid results.  
     Another change in the Clearinghouse was the segmenting of the
determination data into three separate databases.  The current database contains
the most recent five years' completed RBLC determinations.  These determinations
have been reviewed by RBLC staff to ensure that the information is complete and
correct.  The second database is the transient database, which provides a work
space for users to enter and update determinations.  RBLC staff regularly reviews
the transient database and promotes accurate and complete determinations into
the permanent database.  The third database, the historical database, contains
completed RBLC determinations which are more than five years old.  The historical
database is further segmented into multiple databases based on when the
information was submitted.  Refer to the menu in the RBLC information system for
the exact submittal dates contained in each portion of the historical database. 
This organization of the databases was designed to ensure the integrity of the
RBLC data and to maintain a reasonable response time for users accessing the
system.
     Also fairly new is the addition of a Statistical Ranking download report
format that presents emission limits sorted from most to least stringent.  This
ordering is useful for comparing emissions for a single pollutant from a single
process.  The emission limits must be expressed in the same units.  Standard units
for emission limits have been established in the database to allow meaningful
comparisons among many diverse control technology determinations.  The
Statistical Ranking report is based on these values.  A sample report is
available on the TTN for viewing on-line or for downloading to your local PC.  
     Another recent improvement in the Clearinghouse is the revision of the
data submittal procedures.  The TTN version of the RBLC allows designated users
in Regional, state, and local air pollution control agencies direct update
capability.  A new stand-alone version is available so that designated users can
enter NEW determinations on their local PCs, without a modem/direct dial or
Internet connection and its associated cost.  After completing data entry, users
forward their determinations to the RBLC for inclusion on the TTN.  With either
on-line or stand-alone input, data entered by designated users is placed into a
searchable transient database where quality assurance procedures will be
performed.  Once the data is checked, it will be promoted into the current RBLC
database.  Designated users can access the TTN to make changes to current entries
in the Clearinghouse.  (The stand-alone editor can not be used to edit
determinations previously entered into the on-line RBLC database).  For those
who wish to make hardcopy (paper) submittals, the submittal form and
instructions for data submittal are in Appendix E.
     In late 1994, the RBLC added a data base of federal, state, and local
regulations.  At the federal level, it includes summaries of federal regulations
enacted in response to the CAAA.  These rules include Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (MACT) standards, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP), and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS).  The
regulation data base offers three modules that allow you to search, browse, and
edit the rules data.  The query module brings the power of user-defined queries to
the complex details of air pollutant emissions regulations.  Using the same menu-driven system as the RBLC's control technology determination data base, users
can build a query to locate pertinent regulations for a particular pollutant or
process or for a broad array of other criteria.  You can also bypass the query step
and go directly to viewing a list of all the federal and state regulations.  This
data base also offers a data entry module for on-line inputting and editing of
regulations by responsible agencies.  
     Other improvements and revisions to the system will continue to be
considered as a result of contacts with various state and local agencies.  These
improvements and revisions will be evaluated and made based on the
recommendations of the state and local agencies that are entering or submitting
determinations to the Clearinghouse.
     All inquiries concerning RBLC and information contained in the data base
should be directed to:

PROCEDURES FOR FUTURE SUBMISSIONS TO THE CLEARINGHOUSE
     The RBLC is intended to be a dynamic program.  Periodic updates and new
listings are welcomed.  Submissions by state and local control agencies are
entirely voluntary except for LAER determinations, which must be submitted to
the Clearinghouse.  Without submittals, however, the viability and usefulness of
the program are jeopardized.  Agencies are encouraged to make formal submittals
at any time by using the new on-line submittal procedures.  
     Submittals can be made as soon as the permit application is received.  It is
not necessary to wait until the final permit is issued.  The initial on-line
submittal must, however, list all processes.  (Note, also, that each process must
include at least one pollutant.)  Subsequent to the initial submittal, agencies
may use the RBLC to update the status of the application.  Timely data entry and
updates allow the RBLC to function as a tracking system.  There is a scheduling
report specifically designed to display information on any past due dates.  As
with any automated information system, the RBLC data base offers flexible, user-defined queries and a variety of report formats.  Needed information can be
quickly accessed in whatever level of detail is appropriate.
     Information can be submitted either by using the preferred on-line or
stand-alone submittal procedures or by mailing in completed Clearinghouse
submittal forms.  Using the on-line or stand-alone submittal methods,
information can be directly input into the RBLC by the designated person in your
agency.  In order to facilitate the input or submission of determinations and
corrections, a full page copy of the form and a set of instructions for completing
the input form are provided in Appendix E of this report.  The form in Appendix E
can be reproduced and used to prepare or submit new determinations and/or to
update existing information.  All questions should be directed as indicated
above.

PROCEDURES FOR ACCESSING THE CLEARINGHOUSE ON THE OAQPS TTN BBS
     The RBLC is accessible to anyone with a computer, modem, and
communications software.  There is no complicated NCC or NTIS account
registration to go through.  Almost any communications software will work. 
Anyone who wishes to access the RBLC should program the following information
into their communications package:

               (919) 541-5742 (for modems up to 14,400 baud)
               Data bits: 8
               Stop bit: 1
               Parity: N
               Terminal Emulation: VT100, VT102, or ANSI

     The RBLC is also available through Internet.  The Internet address is:
               TELNET  ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov

     Once connected to the OAQPS TTN BBS, a new user must complete an on-line
registration questionnaire before being allowed to fully access the BBS.  The
only cost involved is the cost of the telephone call.  If you have any problems
accessing the OAQPS TTN, call the voice help line at (919) 541-5384.

          Direct input using the stand-alone editor.
          Paper input using Clearinghouse submittal forms.

The on-line and stand-alone submittal procedures are the preferred formats. 
Designated users can obtain a password that allows them to access the RBLC
database Edit module.  Users can add new determinations and make changes to
current entries in the Clearinghouse.  Designated users can also obtain a copy of
the new stand-alone version of the Edit module to enter NEW determinations on
their local PCs, without a modem/direct dial or Internet connection and its
associated cost.  After completing data entry, users forward their
determinations to the RBLC for inclusion on the TTN.  (The stand-alone editor can
not be used to edit determinations previously entered into the on-line RBLC data
base).  All inquiries concerning RBLC submittals should be directed to:

     INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING RACT/BACT/LAER CLEARINGHOUSE
                       INPUT SUMMARY SHEET


1.   Company Name/Site Location:  Insert name and address of the proposed
     facility.  The address should be the location of the proposed facility not
     the address of the parent company unless they are the same.

2.   Determination Made by:  Designate the permitting agency and the person to
     whom telephone requests should be directed.  This should be the person most
     capable of responding to factual questions about the permit decision. 
     Please include the area code with the phone number.

3.   Permit Number:  This should be the identification number assigned by the
     agency that issued the permit.

4.   ID Numbers and Codes:  Fill-in the requested identification numbers, if
     they are available, and the SIC code.

5.   Determination Status:  Circle "New" or "Modified," depending on the nature
     of the permit.  If the permit covers a new unit at a new or existing source,
     it should be marked as "New."  If the addition of a new unit to an existing
     source triggers a new permit for the entire source, then it should be
     circled "Modified."  If the permit is only for a single unit, but the unit
     was modified, then it should be circled, "Modified."

6.   Scheduling Information:  Permitting scheduling dates stored in the
     database are:

          - receipt of application
          - control technology determination (estimated and actual)
          - air quality analysis complete (estimated and actual)
          - other impact analysis complete (estimated and actual)
          - draft permit issued (estimated and actual)

     Please enter all of the scheduling information available.  The RBLC also
     includes a logical field indicating whether the permitting agency held a
     public hearing.

7.   Permit Parameters:  List all processes subject to this permit by name
     (e.g., kiln, boiler) for which a throughput limit, operating limit,
     emission limit, control strategy, performance or equipment standard has
     been specified.  Use additional pages as necessary.

     Process name or process equipment should be listed using one of the process
     categories listed in Appendix C (Detailed Listing of Proposed Process
     Categories).  A descriptor may be added behind the generic category name. 
     For example,

          Boiler, coal-fired, 3 each
          Kiln, 3 each
          Conveyors, coal/limestone
          Furnace, arc
          Boiler, recovery
          Boiler, power
          Engines, gas-fired

8.   Process Type Code:  A code assigned to each process (see Appendix B) used to
     categorize determinations.

9.   SCC Code:  This code is the standard source classification for processes
     used throughout the Office of Air at EPA.

10.  Throughput Capacity:  Indicate the maximum design capacity of the unit. 
     Use the same units of measure used in the NSPS to describe the size of a
     source.  Wherever possible, use the list of standardized abbreviations for
     process and emission limit - Appendix D.

11.  Compliance Verification:  This series of fields allows you to enter a yes
     or no response to the following questions:

          - Compliance verified?
          - Method of confirmation:
               Stack testing?
               Other testing?
               Inspection?
               Calculations?

     You may also enter a narrative description of other types of confirmation
     methods.

12.  Pollutant(s) Emitted:  make an entry for each pollutant or parameter for
     which a control requirement or other restraint has been specified (PM, SO2
     CO2, NO2, opacity, or others).  Use a separate block for each entry, and
     identify the pollutant and provide its Chemical Abstracts (CAS) number. 
     Use the following standard abbreviations for these common pollutants
     whenever possible:

          PM        Particulate Matter
          SO2       Sulfur Dioxide
          NO2       Nitrogen Oxides
          CO        Carbon Monoxide
          VOC       Volatile Organic Compounds
          VE        Visible Emissions

          TRS       Total Reduced Sulfur
          F         Fluoride
          Be        Beryllium
          H2S       Hydrogen Sulfide
          Hg        Mercury
          VC        Vinyl Chloride

     Abbreviations for other pollutants are listed in Appendix D, along with
     CAS numbers.

13.  Emission Limit(s):  For consistency and ease of comparison, list the
     emission limit or rate in the units of measure listed in Appendix C or those
     used in AP-42.  Wherever possible use the list of standard abbreviations
     (Appendix D).

     There are multiple emission limits in the Clearinghouse, they are:

     -    Primary emission limit and units:  The primary emission limit listed
          in the permit.

     -    Alternate emission limit and units:  If provided on the permit,
          these numbers represent any alternate emission measurements which
          the facility may make.

     -    Standardized limit and units:  This limit allows comparison with
          other similar determinations in the database.  Standard units are
          provided for certain process types (see Appendix D) so that users
          can compare the entries in this field to determine the most
          stringent limits.

     The base-line limit is no longer used in the database.

14.  Type of Emission Controlled:  A one-character field indicating whether the
     emission is fugitive, point-source, or area-source.

15.  Control Option Ranking Information:  Two pieces of information are
     requested:  The number of control options examined and the rank of the
     control option selected.  The "rank" is the number of the control option
     selected when the options are ordered according to the performance of the
     control system.  Number 1 would be the best control system, number 2 would
     be the next best, etc.

16.  Regulatory Requirements Associated with Limit:  Indicate the regulatory
     requirement that precipitated establishing the limit presented, i.e.,
     BACT-PSD, BACT-Other, LAER, MACT, RACT, GACT, NSPS, NESHAP, or Other.  Do
     not list such items as stack test, design or others.  These items generally
     represent the supporting information that may have been used to document
     or establish the given limit.  Such items should be included in the notes
     section.

     To facilitate the identification of limits use the following
abbreviations:

          - BACT-PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration)
          - BACT-Other (regulated by state/local rules, not PSD)
          - LAER (lowest Available Control Technology)
          - MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology)
          - RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology)
          - GACT (Generally Available Control Technology)
          - NSPS (New source Performance Standards)
          - NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)
          - Other

17.  Control Method Description:  Describe the specific pollution prevention
     techniques and add-on equipment used to achieve the permitted emission
     limits.  Specify "NONE" if no controls are feasible.  Pollution prevention
     techniques include operational modifications, limits in the type and
     amount of raw materials used, limits on throughout or hours of operation,
     maintenance requirements, equipment specifications, or other
     limitations.  Typical add-on equipment includes ESP, fabric filter, etc. 
     Information in this section may be supplemented under the "Notes" section. 
     

     Please note that the RBLC no longer has separate fields for equipment
     manufacturer and model number.  Place this information, if you have it, in
     the notes.

18.  Overall Efficiency %:  Enter the overall system efficiency, consisting of
     capture (hoods, ductwork, etc.) and collection (control device)
     efficiency.  Any breakdown of efficiencies for capture or collection
     individually should be shown under "Notes."

19.  Cost Data:  Control costs contained in the database include:

          - Capital cost of control equipment
          - Annual operation and maintenance cost for all control methods
          - Annualized cost (amortized capital cost + annual operation &
            maintenance costs)
          - Cost effectiveness in dollars per ton (annualized cost/tons of
            pollutant removed)
          - Year of the dollar used in cost calculations
          - Cost verified by the permitting agency (yes or no)

20.  Notes:  This section is for the completion or elaboration of any of the
     above items where space was a problem.  Also, any information that you feel
     other agencies should know about this determination should appear here. 
     Notes are typically used for the following:

          More than one permit number
          More detail on a particular process
          More than one contact person
          Further explanation regarding the designation of a source as new or
          modified
          Further explanation of the emission limit or the support
          documentation associated with setting the limit (i.e., limit based
          on design or stack test)
