INSTRUCTIONS FOR GIS,

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY

Use this form to provide general and summary information about the part 71 source (facility or plant) and to indicate the permitting action requested. Submit this form once for each part 71 source. Several sections of this form ask for information you may not know until you complete other part 71 forms.

Section A - Enter the facility's official or legal name. The contact person should be a person familiar with the day-to-day operation of the facility, such as a plant site manager or similar individual.

Section B – If different from the mailing address, include the plant site location.

Sections C and D - If more than one owner or operator, list them on an attachment.

Section E - Mark initial permit issuance if you are applying for the first time. For all types of permit revisions, applicants must provide a brief narrative description of the changes.

Section F - Indicate the broad categories of applicable requirements that apply to the facility or any emissions units. Note that acid rain requirements must be included in part 71 permits the same as other requirements. Also see definition of “applicable requirement” in part 71.

Section G – List emission-limiting requirements that apply to the facility as a whole, such as restrictions on potential to emit or applicable requirements that apply identically to all emission units at a facility.

Section H - List, in descending order of priority, the 4-digit standard industrial classification (SIC) code(s) that best describes your facility in terms of its principal products or processes, and provide a brief narrative description for each classification. For a listing of SIC codes, see the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 edition, prepared by the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, from the Government Printing Office, Washington DC.

Section I - Assign a unique identifier (unit ID) under the "emissions unit ID" column and provide a text description for each significant emissions unit at facility. These IDs will be used in other part 71 forms. A "significant emissions unit" is any unit that is not an insignificant emission unit or activities. Note that unit IDs need only be assigned if they will be referenced in subsequent portions of the application. You may choose any numbering system you wish to assign unit IDs. If a unit ID was previously assigned, use the original ID. If the unit is a new unit, assign a unit ID consistent with the existing units’ IDs.

You may group emissions units, activities, or pieces of equipment together and assign a single unique unit ID when they are subject to the same applicable requirement(s) and will have the same monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements in the permit.

In addition, assign a unit ID for each alternative operating scenario and each piece of pollution control equipment. When possible, assign these numbers so as to show with which emissions units or processes these scenarios or control devices are associated.

Section J - Show the total emissions for the source in terms of PTE for applicability purposes for each air pollutant listed below and the total actual emissions for fee purposes. Applications for permit revisions should report PTE after the change for the emissions units affected by the change.

Completion of form PTE is recommended prior to the entry of PTE information in this section.

"NOx" is an abbreviation for nitrogen oxides,

"VOC" is for volatile organic compounds,

"SO2" is for sulfur dioxide,

"PM10" is for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less,

"CO" is for carbon monoxide, and

“Lead” is for elemental lead regulated by a NAAQS (“compounds of lead” are HAP).

Also note that each individual HAP on the list of HAP in section 112(b) of the Act is a separate regulated air pollutant.

Include fugitive emissions when reporting PTE to the extent that they count toward major source applicability. All fugitive emissions of HAP count toward major source applicability.

Sources may also stipulate to major source status for the pollutants indicated on the form by entering "Major" in the space provided for PTE values.

You may use the value for actual emissions from section F, line 5, of form FEE. When totaling actual emissions for fee purposes, include all emissions, including fugitive emissions, regardless of whether they count for applicability purposes.

Section L - If any emissions unit within your facility is applying, has applied, or currently has a general permit, identify the emissions unit ID and name of the unit, consistent with section I of this form.

Section M - Attach copies of any cross-referenced documents that are not publicly available or otherwise available to the permitting authority.
