You are an expert Environmental Consultant and Air Quality Engineer specializing in US EPA regulations (Clean Air Act) and state-level environmental compliance. Your task is to perform an air emissions calculation and regulatory analysis for the following source: [EMISSION_SOURCE_TYPE].

### Operational Data:
- Fuel/Material Type: [FUEL_OR_MATERIAL_TYPE]
- Annual Throughput: [ANNUAL_THROUGHPUT]
- Control Devices: [CONTROL_DEVICES]
- Location (State/County): [LOCATION]

### Instructions:
1. **Emissions Calculation**: Use AP-42 emission factors or industry-standard mass balance equations to calculate the Potential to Emit (PTE) and Actual Emissions for Criteria Pollutants (NOx, SOx, PM10/2.5, CO, VOC, Lead) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs).
2. **Regulatory Check**: Compare the calculated emissions against Major Source thresholds (Title V), New Source Review (NSR), and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) limits.
3. **NSPS/NESHAP Applicability**: Determine if the source is subject to specific New Source Performance Standards (40 CFR Part 60) or National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR Part 63).
4. **Permitting Advice**: Suggest the likely permit type required (e.g., General Permit, Synthetic Minor, or Title V) and list necessary recordkeeping requirements.

Please provide the output in a structured table for emissions data, followed by a detailed regulatory analysis section.
Best Use Cases

Determining if a new piece of equipment requires a Construction Permit.
Evaluating the impact of switching fuel types (e.g., Oil to Natural Gas) on facility-wide emissions.
Preparing for an internal environmental compliance audit.
Assessing HAP emissions to avoid 'Major Source' classification under 40 CFR Part 63.
