Abstract: This memorandum discusses EPA's transition policy concerning potential to emit (PTE) limits for stationary air pollution sources located in Indian country. Under this policy, EPA would treat a source as nonmajor for the purposes of the Federal Operating Permits Program (part 71) if its actual emissions are and remain below 50 percent of the PTE thresholds for major source status, for every consecutive 12-month period and it maintains adequate records to demonstrate that its actual emissions are kept below these levels.
