1 Thresholds for point source determination shown in tons per year of potential to emit as defined in 40 CFR part 70, with the exception of lead. Reported emissions should be in actual tons emitted for the required time period.

2 Type A sources are a subset of the Type B sources and are the larger emitting sources by pollutant.

3 NAA = Nonattainment Area. The point source reporting thresholds vary by attainment status for SO2, VOC, NOX, CO, PM10, PM2.5, and NH3.

4 OTR = Ozone Transport Region (see 40 CFR 51.1300(k)).
