    Terms used but not defined in this subpart shall have the meaning 
given them in the Act and in subpart A:
    (a) Designated pollutant means any air pollutant, the emissions of 
which are subject to a standard of performance for new stationary 
sources, but for which air quality criteria have not been issued and 
that is not included on a list published under section 108(a) of the 
Act. Designated pollutant also means any air pollutant, the emissions of 
which are subject to a standard of performance for new stationary 
sources, that is on the section 112(b)(1) list and is emitted from a 
facility that is not part of a source category regulated under section 
112. Designated pollutant does not include pollutants on the section 
112(b)(1) list that are emitted from a facility that is part of a source 
category regulated under section 112.
    (b) Designated facility means any existing facility (see Sec. 
60.2(aa)) which emits a designated pollutant and which would be subject 
to a standard of performance for that pollutant if the existing facility 
were an affected facility (see Sec. 60.2(e)).

60.22(a), which reflects the degree of emission reduction achievable 
through the application of the best system of emission reduction which 
(taking into account the cost of such reduction) the Administrator has 
determined has been adequately demonstrated for designated facilities.
    (f) Emission standard means a legally enforceable regulation setting 
forth an allowable rate of emissions into the atmosphere, establishing 
an allowance system, or prescribing equipment specifications for control 
of air pollution emissions.
    (g) Compliance schedule means a legally enforceable schedule 
specifying a date or dates by which a source or category of sources must 
comply with specific emission standards contained in a plan or with any 
increments of progress to achieve such compliance.
    (h) Increments of progress means steps to achieve compliance which 
must be taken by an owner or operator of a designated facility, 
including:
    (1) Submittal of a final control plan for the designated facility to 
the appropriate air pollution control agency;
    (2) Awarding of contracts for emission control systems or for 
process modifications, or issuance of orders for the purchase of 
component parts to accomplish emission control or process modification;
    (3) Initiation of on-site construction or installation of emission 
control equipment or process change;
    (4) Completion of on-site construction or installation of emission 
control equipment or process change; and
    (5) Final compliance.

section 107 of the Act and described in part 81 of this chapter.
    (j) Local agency means any local governmental agency.
    (k) Allowance system means a control program under which the owner 
or operator of each designated facility is required to hold an 
authorization for each specified unit of a designated pollutant emitted 
from that facility during a specified period and which limits the total 
amount of such authorizations available to be held for a designated 
pollutant for a specified period and allows the transfer of such 
authorizations not used to meet the authorization-holding requirement.
