In addition, "small business" does not include (1) any source which may emit more than fifty (50) tons per year of any regulated air contaminant for which there is a national or New Mexico ambient air quality standard, or seventy-five (75) tons per year of all regulated air contaminants for which there are national or New Mexico ambient air quality standards; and (2) any major source for hazardous air pollutants under 20.2.70 NMAC.G. "technical review of an existing permit" means the department's technical review of new information submitted by a permittee as required by an existing permit condition and in conjunction with proposed changes at the source that do not involve any changes to the existing permit.
