## Notification of Coverage under the Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified

True Minor Source Auto Body Repair and Miscellaneous Surface Coating

Operations in Indian Country

Last Modified: March 2 3 , 2015

Version 1. 0

This Notification of Coverage u nder the Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Source Auto Body

Repair and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations in Indian Country applies to the construction of new, true

minor source auto body shops or miscellaneous surface coating operations or the modification of existing, true

minor source auto body shops or surface coating operations in Indian c ountry . It applies only to facilities that use

5,000 gallons p er year or less of volatile organic compound (VOC) containing materials (including coatings, thinners,

and clean

- up solvents), if located in National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) ozone attainment , unclassifiable

or attainment/unclassifiable areas, or 900 gallons per year or less of VOC containing materials (including coatings,

thinners, and clean

- up solvents), if located in NAAQS ozone nonattainment areas

. An auto body shop repairs,

repaints, and/or customizes passenger cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and other mobile equipment capable of being

driven or drawn on the highway. Miscellaneous surface coating operations involve the spray application of coating to

miscellaneous parts and/or products made of metal o r plastic or both

.

You qualify to submit a Notification of Coverage under the Permit by Rule if you meet all of the

following criteria :

 Your new or modified true minor source auto body repair and miscellaneous surface coating operation is

located within I ndian Country;

 Your facility has a potential to emit (PTE) less than the New Source Review (NSR) major source thresholds;

 Y our new source or modification of an existing source will emit (or have the PTE considering controls), in

the aggregate, less than 10 tons per year (tpy) or more of any HAP or 25 tpy or more of any combination

of HAPs ;

 If located in an attainment , unclassifiable or attainment/unclassifiable area for ozone, after the proposed

construction or modification project, the projected total usag e of VOC containing material (including

coatings, thinners, and clean

- up solvents) at your facility will not exceed 5,000 gallons per year based on a

12

- month rolling total;

 If located in an ozone nonattainment area, after the proposed construction or mod ification project, the

projected total usage of VOC containing material (including coatings, thinners, and clean

- up solvents) at your

facility will not exceed 900 gallons per year based on a 12

- month rolling total;

 A fter the proposed construction or modifi cation project, the projected total usage of solvent for degreasing

at your facility will not exceed 500 gallons in any 12

- month period;

 Your operation utilizes cold cleaning as your degreasing method;

 You do not use fuels other than natural gas, propane, and butane in the combustion units at your facility ;

 The total heat input capacity of the fuel combustion units at your facility is equal to or less than 10

MMBtu/h ou r;

 The capacity of any volatile organic liquid storage tank at your facility does not ex ceed 19,812 gallons;EPA Form No. 5900

.

The reviewing authority retains discretion to terminate your coverage under the P ermit by R ule and require a source

specific permit eve n if the above criteria are met. Reasons t he reviewing authority may terminate a permitted source’s

coverage under the P ermit by R ule include :

1. The permittee is not in compliance with the provisions of the P ermit by R ule ;

2. The reviewing authority determines that the emissions resulting from the construction or modification of the

permitted source significantly contribute to NAAQS violations, which are not adequately addressed by the

requirements in the P ermit by R ule ;

3. The r eviewing authority has reason to believe that the permittee obtained c overage under the P ermit by R ule by

fraud or misrepresentation ; or

4. The permittee failed to disclose a material fact required by the Notification of Coverage or the regulations

applicabl e to the permitted source of which the applicant had or should have had knowledge at the time the

permittee submitted the Notification of Coverage.

More Information

Information on the definition of a “modification” and “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 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/airquality/greenbook/ . You may also contact your reviewing authority for info rmation on the

area’s attainment status.

Sources eligible for the Air Quality 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 63 Subpart HHHHHH

, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutions for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating

Operations at Area Sources

. T he conditions applicable to sources seeking coverage under this Permit by Rule are

intended to be ge nerally consistent with the requirements in 40 CFR 63, Subpart HHHHHH . However, compliance with

the applicable requirement s in 40 CFR part 63, Subpart HHHHHH is required independent of the conditions in the Permit

by Rule , and not all requirements applicab le under Subpart HHHHHH are necessarily included in the Permit by Rule. The

Background Document for the Permit by Rule identifies the specific requirements in Subpart HHHHHH that are

addressed in the Permit by Rule. The EPA’s brochure for Subpart HHHHHH is available here:
