Title: Exemption of Certain Area Sources From Title V Operating Permit Programs 
Abstract: This action implements the Agency's decision on whether to require title V permits for six area (nonmajor) sources subject to air toxic requirements under Clean Air Act. The affected source categories are: dry cleaners, halogenated solvent degreasers, chrome plating, ethylene oxide sterilizers, secondary lead, and secondary aluminum. Under the Act, these sources are subject to operating permit programs; however, EPA may exempt them from such programs if it finds that permitting would be impracticable, infeasible, or unnecessarily burdensome on the sources. This action makes these findings for all categories except secondary lead. Secondary lead would remain subject to permitting because few area sources are affected and most have already been permitted.
