Title: General Permits and Permits by Rule for the Tribal Minor New Source Review Program 
Abstract: The Tribal Minor New Source Review (NSR) program applies to new and modified small sources and minor modifications at large sources in Indian Country. The program is implemented through issuance of preconstruction permits that can include, among other requirements, pollutant emission limits for minor sources and voluntary emission limitations on the potential-to-emit of sources that would otherwise be considered major sources similar to State minor NSR programs. State minor NSR programs often use general permits or permits by rule, which may be applied to a number of similar emission units or stationary sources to simplify permit application and issuance so that a reviewing authority's limited resource needs not be expended for the review of site-specific permits. A general permit or permit by rule may be written to address a single emissions unit, a group of the same type of emissions units, or an entire category of minor sources. General permits and permits by rule offer a cost-effective means of issuing permits and provide a quicker and simpler alternative mechanism for permitting minor sources than the site-specific permitting process. This action proposes general permits and/or source category permits by rule for the Tribal Minor NSR program for the following five source categories: gasoline dispensing facilities, autobody repair and refinishing shops, hot mix asphalt plants, and rock crushing and screening facilities.
