 Redline Strikeout Rule Language reflecting proposed changes to 51.165 :
40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(G):
(G) Fugitive emissions shall not be included in determining for any of the purposes of this section whether a physical change in or change in the method of operation of a major stationary source is a major modification, unless the source belongs to one of the source categories listed in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(C) of this section.

40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(vi)(C)(3):
(C) An increase or decrease in actual emissions is creditable only if: 
(3) As it pertains to an increase or decrease in fugitive emissions (to the extent quantifiable), it occurs at an emissions unit that is part of one of the source categories listed in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(C) of this section or it occurs at an emissions unit that is located at a major stationary source that belongs to one of the listed source categories. Fugitive emission increases or decreases are not creditable for those emissions units located at a facility whose primary activity is not represented by one of the source categories listed in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(C) of this section and that are not, by themselves, part of a listed source category.

40 CFR 51.165(a)(4):
(4) [Reserved] Each plan may provide that the provisions of this paragraph do not apply to a source or modification that would be a major stationary source or major modification only if fugitive emissions, to the extent quantifiable, are considered in calculating the potential to emit of the stationary source or modification and the source does not belong to any of the following categories: 
(i) Coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers); 
(ii) Kraft pulp mills; 
(iii) Portland cement plants;

(xxi) Fossil-fuel boilers (or combination thereof) totaling more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input; 
(xxii) Petroleum storage and transfer units with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels; 
(xxiii) Taconite ore processing plants; 
(xxiv) Glass fiber processing plants; 
(xxv) Charcoal production plants; 
(xxvi) Fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input; 
(xxvii) Any other stationary source category which, as of August 7, 1980, is being regulated under section 111 or 112 of the Act.
