INSTRUCTIONS FOR IE

INSIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES

Use this form only if you have any equipment, emissions units, or emitting activities at your facility that qualify for insignificant treatment due to insignificant emissions levels (defined in the part 71 rule) and you desire such treatment.

Generally identify the source of emissions.

The "number" column is provided to indicate the total number or units or activities grouped together under one description, for example, equipment such as valves and flanges. However, units or activities that are similar should be listed separately in the form when the descriptions differ in a meaningful way, such as when capacities or sizes differ and this information is relevant, for example, to an applicability determination.

Check one of the columns provided to indicate which emission level criteria of part 71 is met for these units or activities that warrant such treatment. The rule provides 2 emission criteria:

• emissions of 2 tons per year or less or any regulated pollutants except HAP (RAP, except HAP) from any emission unit, or

• 1000 pounds per year or less of any HAP from any emission unit.

Note that part 71 does not exempt any insignificant units from major source applicability determinations.

In addition, attach to this form information concerning equipment, activities, or emissions units that are exempted from an otherwise applicable requirement (e.g., grandfathered emissions units. Please cite the basis for the exemption (e.g., State administrative code or Federal regulation).
