### 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 th is questionnaire and it is not necessary to gain coverage under the Permit by Rule for

New or Modified True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning F acilities . 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. T his

Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities Questionnaire is for petroleum dry cleaning facilities that are not major sources of air

pol lution 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 exha ustive 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 c ountry;

 You d o not know whet her 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 i ntend 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 spec ies and historic

properites.



### More Information

T he 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 th e Federal Indian Country Minor New Source

Review ( NSR ) R ule can be found at 40 CFR 49.153
