5900-85 PTE, Potential to Emit Summary

Federal Operating Permit Program (40 CFR Part 71)
POTENTIAL TO EMIT (PTE)
For each unit with emissions that count towards applicability, list the emissions unit ID and the PTE for
the air pollutants listed below and sum them up to show totals for the facility. You may find it helpful to
complete form EMISS before completing this form. Show other pollutants not listed that are present in
major amounts at the facility on attachment in a similar fashion. You may round values to the nearest
tenth of a ton. Also report facility totals in section J of form GIS.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PTE
POTENTIAL TO EMIT
Calculate the total PTE for each air pollutant at the facility for purposes of determining major source
applicability.
On each line (row) in the table provided, enter the emissions unit ID and the quantity of each air
pollutant identified on the form. If form EMISS was prepared previously, simply copy the emission
values (or stipulations to major source status) contained on those forms to this form. You may round to
the nearest ton.
Applicants may stipulate to major source status for an air pollutant and, thereby, avoid detailed PTE
calculations. If a unit emits in major amounts, enter "MU" in the column for that air pollutant. If the
facility is a major source for a pollutant but the emissions unit in question does not trigger major source
status, enter "MS" in the space provided. If a listed pollutant is emitted at a unit but PTE cannot be
calculated based on readily available information, enter "UN" (for "unknown") in the space provided. If
the source is a major source for air pollutants not represented by columns on this form, please provide
an attachment stipulating major source status or the calculation of the total for that air pollutant. The
column for lead is for elemental lead regulated by a NAAQS, while compounds of lead are HAP.
The total line is provided at the bottom of each column to enter the total facility-wide PTE for
applicability purposes (or stipulations to major source status) for each air pollutant reported above.
Enter these totals, as well as the total PTE and the name of the HAP emitted in the greatest amount, in
section J of form GIS.
Only include emissions or emissions units on form PTE that count toward major source applicability.
Some of the emissions units for which form EMISS may have been prepared may not have emissions
that count towards major source applicability or may have been included in order to calculate fees. In
particular, fugitive emissions are not always included in major source applicability determinations for
non-HAP. However, for major source determinations for HAP, all fugitive HAP must be included.
