the proposed rule establishes four categories of eligibility for registration pennits: . Option A: New Source Perfonnance Standards-only sources . Option B: Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)-only sources . Option C: Sources with emissions from boilers, internal combustion engines and VOC sources only . Option D: Sources whose potential emissions exceed state or federal threshold levels but whose actual emissions are less than SO percent of federal thresholds. A source may be eligible for registration permits under more than one option. The options generally become more complex, yet more flexible, when moving from A to B, B to C, etc. Besides requiring eligible sources to comply with all applicable state rules and federal regulations, the rule includes specific compliance requirements for each option. In general, sources with registration permits will need to maintain records and perfonn monthly calculations to show that they continue to be eligible for registration permits. They will also be required to submit annual reports on their emissions for the MPCA' s emission inventory. Owners or operators of facilities should not apply for registration pennits if they anticipate making changes in the next year that would cause the facilities to become ineligible. Registration permits will not expire, so if the facility continues to be eligible, the registration pennit will only be issued once. Doc. # 3.01, Page 2 Option A: New Source Performance Standards-Only Sources Facilities are eligible for registration permits under Option A if they must obtain permits only because they are subject to New Source Perfonnance Standards for the following sources, and state and federal permit thresholds are not exceeded by potential emission of any pollutant: . Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 60, subpart Dc [40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Dc]) . Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids (40 CFR pt. 60, subps. K, Ka and Kb) · Grain Elevators (40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD) . Surface Coating of Metal Furniture (40 CFR pt. 60, subp. EE) . Industrial Surface Coating: Large Appliances (40 CFR pt. 60, subp. SS) . Petroleum Dry Cleaners (40 CFR pt. 60, subp. JJJ) · Industrial Surface Cleaning of Plastic Parts for Business Machines (40 CFR pt. 60, subp. TTT) . Hot Mix Asphalt Facilities (40 CFR pt. 60, subp. I) Compliance Requirement: Comply with the applicable New Source Perfonnance Standard and other applicable rules. Option B: Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Sources Sources whose only emission are from the use of V OC-containing materials, insignificant activities, and dust from roads or parking lots are eligible for Option B if they purchase or
