Notification of Coverage under the Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified
True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities in Indian Country
Last Modified: January 4, 2017
Version 1.0

This Notification of Coverage under the Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Source Petroleum
Dry Cleaning Facilities in Indian Country applies to the construction of new, true minor source petroleum dry cleaning
facilities or the modification of existing, true minor source petroleum dry cleaning facilities in Indian country. It applies
only to facilities that use 5,600 gallons or less of petroleum solvents annually in National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) ozone attainment, unclassifiable or attainment/unclassifiable areas, or 1,300 gallons or less of petroleum
solvents annually in NAAQS ozone nonattainment areas. A petroleum dry cleaning facility consists of dry cleaning dryers,
washers, filters, stills, settling tanks, and boilers.
You qualify to submit a Notification for Coverage under the Permit by Rule if you meet all of the
following criteria:
• Your new or modified true minor source petroleum dry cleaning facility is located within Indian Country;
• Your facility has a potential to emit (PTE) less than the New Source Review (NSR) major source thresholds;
• If located in an ozone attainment, unclassifiable or attainment/unclassifiable area, after the proposed
construction or modification project, the projected total usage of petroleum solvents at your facility will
not exceed 5,600 gallons per year based on a 12-month rolling total;
• If located in an ozone nonattainment area, after the proposed construction or modification project, the
projected total usage of petroleum solvents at your facility will not exceed 1,300 gallons per year based on
a 12-month rolling total;
• You do not use fuels other than natural gas, propane, and butane in the fuel combustion units at
your facility;
• The maximum heat input capacity of each fuel combustion unit is less than 10 MMBtu/hour;
• The total heat input capacity of the fuel combustion units at your facility is equal to or less than
30 MMBtu/hour;
• The capacity of any volatile organic liquid storage tank at your facility does not exceed 19,812 gallons;
• You demonstrate, and obtain confirmation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that you
have followed the screening process the EPA has provided with respect to the protection of species that are
federally-listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or of habitat that is
federally-designated as “critical habitat” under the ESA; and
• You demonstrate, and obtain written confirmation from the EPA, that you followed the screening process to
address any effects to historic properties eligible for protection under the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA).

The reviewing authority retains discretion to terminate your coverage under the Permit by Rule and require a sourcespecific permit even if the above criteria are met. Reasons the reviewing authority may terminate a permitted source’s
coverage under the Permit by Rule include:
1. The permittee is not in compliance with the provisions of the Permit by Rule;
2. The reviewing authority determines that the emissions resulting from the construction or modification of the
permitted source significantly contribute to NAAQS violations, which are not adequately addressed by the
requirements in the Permit by Rule;
3. The reviewing authority has reason to believe that the permittee obtained coverage under the Permit by Rule by
fraud or misrepresentation; or
4. The permittee failed to disclose a material fact required by the Notification of Coverage or the regulations
applicable to the permitted source of which the applicant had or should have had knowledge at the time the
permittee submitted the Notification of Coverage.
More Information
Information on the definition of a “modification” and “PTE” can be found at 40 CFR 49.152(d) and in the “Instructions”
document. Additional information on the applicability of the Federal Indian Country Minor NSR Rule can be found at 40
CFR 49.153.
Information on the ozone attainment status of the area where your facility is located can be found at:
https://www.epa.gov/green-book. You may also contact your reviewing authority for information on the area’s
attainment status.
Sources eligible for the Air Quality Permit by Rule for New or Modified True Minor Source Petroleum Dry Cleaning
Facilities may also be subject to federal standards under 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJ, Standards of Performance for Petroleum
Dry Cleaners. The conditions applicable to sources seeking coverage under this Permit by Rule are intended to be
generally consistent with the requirements in Subpart JJJ. However, compliance with the applicable requirements in
Subpart JJJ is required independent of the conditions in the Permit by Rule, and not all requirements applicable under
Subpart JJJ are necessarily included in the Permit by Rule. The Background Document for the Permit by Rule identifies
the specific requirements in Subpart JJJ that are intended to be included in the Permit by Rule. In addition, information
regarding the major federal regulations affecting petroleum dry cleaners is available here:
http://www.epa.gov/dfe/pubs/garment/frapc/petrfact.htm.
Instructions
Step 1: Notify your reviewing authority, including providing appropriate documentation, that you (1) meet one of the
criteria listed in the EPA’s screening process for the protection of any and all species that are federally-listed as
threatened or endangered under the ESA or of habitat that is federally-designated as “critical habitat” under the ESA;
and (2) satisfy the EPA’s screening process for the NHPA. You must obtain written confirmation from the EPA that the
threatened or endangered species and historic property screening procedures have been satisfied prior to submitting
your Notification of Coverage under the Permit by Rule.
Step 2: After receiving notification that you have successfully met the requirements of Step 1, complete all sections of
the Notification of Coverage under the Permit by Rule (i.e., pages 4 – 10). If you have questions, please contact the
reviewing authority.

Step 3: Certify that your existing or proposed facility is/will be in compliance with the applicable requirements as stated
in 40 CFR 49.163 and submit a copy of this notification to the reviewing authority and to the tribe in the area where the
source is located/locating. Submittal of this Notification of Coverage form also satisfies the requirement that minor
sources in Indian country register with the EPA.
After you submit the Notification of Coverage under the Permit by Rule to the reviewing authority:
• You may commence construction of your new source or modification of your existing source under the Permit by
Rule.
• Your reviewing authority may request additional information from you in order to verify you are eligible for the
Permit by Rule.
The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 28 hours per
response. Applicants are welcome to send comments on the EPA’s need for the information in this application, and
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection
techniques, to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20460. Include the OMB control number in any correspondence. Do not send
the completed form to this address.
