(19) Permit revision--Any administrative permit revision,
minor permit revision, or significant permit revision that meets the

(20) Potential to emit--The maximum capacity of a stationary
source to emit any air pollutant under its physical and operational
design or configuration. Any certified registration established under
§106.6 of this title (relating to Registration of Emissions),
§116.611 of this title (relating to Registration to Use a Standard
Permit), or §122.122 of this title (relating to Potential to
Emit), or a permit by rule under Chapter 106 of this title (relating
to Permits by Rule) or other new source review permit under Chapter
116 of this title (relating to Control of Air Pollution by Permits
for New Construction or Modification) restricting emissions or any
physical or operational limitation on the capacity of a stationary
source to emit an air pollutant, including air pollution control equipment
and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of
material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part
of its design if the limitation is enforceable by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency. This term does not alter or affect
the use of this term for any other purposes under the Federal Clean
Air Act (FCAA), or the term "capacity factor" as used in Acid Rain
provisions of the FCAA or the Acid Rain rules.
(21) Preconstruction authorization--Any authorization
to construct or modify an existing facility or facilities under Chapter

described in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987)
or the research and development operation is a support facility for
the manufacturing facility.
(28) State-only requirement--Any requirement governing

codified in the permit at the discretion of the executive director.
State-only requirements shall not include any requirement required
under the Federal Clean Air Act or under any applicable requirement.
(29) Stationary source--Any building, structure, facility,
or installation that emits or may emit any air pollutant. Nonroad
