~ION 

The State of Louisiana has approved and is submitting 

revisions to the Louisiana Operating Permits Program. On November 

15, 1993, Louisiana submitted for your review the Operating Permits 

Program as mandated under Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments 

of 1990. This revision package consists of two rules: (1) 

insignificant activities which will not require permitting in 

Louisiana; and, (2) edits to the Permit Procedures Rule as 

requested by EPA in the August 29, 1994 Federal Register. 

The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality considers 

this program revision to be a material revision, and requests that 

the Administrator extend the review period for the Louisiana 

Operating Permits Program in accordance with 40 CFR 70.4(e){2). 

The extension will allow the EPA to review the revisions and take 

final action on the Program with the revisions incorporated. For 

the smooth implementation of this comprehensive new air quality 

permitting program, it is important that EPA not render the Program 

effective prior to review and approval of the submitted revisions. 

Please contact the Air Quality staff .through Mr. Gus Von 

Bodungen, Assistant Secretary at (504) 765-0102 if you have any 

questions. 

· Best wishes and warm personal regards.

Dear Governor Edwards: 

Thank you for your letter dated JanYl!~Y~2, ... 199.4, informing us to 

proceed with our review as a revision tcf the approved Louisiana 

State Implementation Plan (SIP), the fourteen (14) designated 

sections of the revised LAC 33:III. Chapter 5, which you

the November 15, 1993, document was submitted in order to 

accomplish both the approval of the Louisiana Part 70 Program, 

and also to revise the Louisiana SIP accordingly. 

We greatly appreciate the Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality's efforts in submitting the designated sections of the 

revised LAC 33:III. Chapter 5 to us. We will be reviewing the 

SIP submittal to determine if it is complete, and we will keep 

the Air Quality staff informed of our progress toward approval of 

this SIP submittal. 

If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please do not 

hesitate to contact me.

Dear Ms. Saginaw: 

.... ,v,, 

In accordance with the requirements of Title V of the 1990 

Clean Air Act Amendments and of 40 CFR Part 70, on November 15, 

1993, Louisiana submitted for your review a newly revised air 

permit regulation, LAC 33:III.Chapter 5. That rule revises 

portions of the previously existing Chapter 5 which comprise part 

of the approved Louisiana State Implementation Plan. It is 

therefore~ necessary to revise the SIP to be consistent wi~h the 

regulation as it is currently adopted by the State. 

Please proceed with your review of LAC 33:III.Chapter 5 as 

submitted on November 15, 1993, to accomplish both the approval 

of the Louisiana Part 70 Program and a revision of the approved 

Louisiana SIP by incorporating sections of the rule into the 

appropriate vehicle as noted on the attachment. 

Please contact the Air Quality staff through Mr. Gus Von 

Bodungen, Assistant Secretary, at (504)765-0102 if you have any 

questions.

RULE 

Department of Environmental Quality 

Office of Air Quality and Radiation Protection 

Air Quality Division 

Permitting Procedures (LAC 33:III.Chapter 5) (AQ70) 

Under the authority of the Louisiana Environmental Quality 

Act, particularly R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with 

the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 

49:950 et seq., the secretary has amended the Air Quality 

Division regulations, LAC 33:III.Chapter 5. 

The amendment to LAC 33:III.Chapter 5 updates the state's 

permitting procedures to meet the requirements mandated by 

Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Title V 

provides for a national air quality permitting system. Under 

Title V, the governor of each state must submit to the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), no later than 

November 15, 1993, a state permitting program. EPA has 

promulgated federal regulations, 40 CFR Part 70, establishing 

the criteria which each state program must meet. The state 

submittal must include finalized state permitting 

regulations. Under the new system, all emissions of regulated 

air pollutants and all federal standards and requirements which 

apply to a source must be documented in an operating 

permit. The permit helps to ensure compliance with all 

standards, and provides information regarding the types and 

quantities of pollutants being released and what steps the 

owner or operator is taking to minimize emissions. The 

operating permit also sets forth requirements for the 

monitoring and reporting of emissions and for annual 

certification by the owner or operator that all terms and 

conditions of the permit are being met. The requirements of 

the federal program apply to all major stationary sources in 

the state, and may also apply to specified minor sources 

designated by EPA. 

DEQ has amended the state air quality permitting program 

which will incorporate the required permit review and issuance 

procedures for Part 70 operating permits into the existing state 

preconstruction permit review and issuance procedures. Part 

70 sources would submit a permit application prior to 

construction, just as they are currently required to do under 

the existing state program. The permit application has been 

enhanced to ensure that it addresses all information required 

by Part 70. DEQ will review the application and will 

generally issue the permit prior to construction or 

modification, as is currently the case. The review and 

issuance procedures have been redefined, by this regulation 

revision, to ensure that all public notice, affected state, and 

EPA review requirements are met and that all timeframes for 

issuance required by Part 70 are achieved. Thus the 

preconstruction permit issued by DEQ will also serve as the 

Part 70 operating permit. 

Integration of the federal Part 70 operating permit program 

requirements with the existing state permitting program 

requirements has required this rewrite of LAC 33:III.Chapter 

5. The rule provides for a state permitting program which 

incorporates the Title V permitting requirements as well as 

permitting requirements for federal preconstruction programs 

and requirements that apply at the state level. The rule is 

available along with other background information, including 

a table which correlates specific Chapter 5 provisions with the 

previous Chapter 5 provisions and with required federal Part 

70 provisions. 

In accordance with the requirements of Title V of the 

Federal Clear Air Act amendments of 1990 and of 40 CFR 

Part 70, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, 

Air Quality Division, has submitted to the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) an operating 

permits program. The USEPA must review and approve or 

disapprove the Louisiana program by November 15, 1994. 

The program submittal includes a narrative description of the 

program, newly revised and adopted air quality permitting 

procedure regulations, the fee schedule which will fund the 

program, a workload/resource analysis and description of air 

quality division operations by section, and an opinion by the 

LoUisiana Register Vol. 19 No. 11 November 20, 1993 1420 
state's attorney general describing the legislative authorities on 

which the program is based. 

The full text of this rule is available for inspection at the 

Office of the State Register, 1051 North Third Street, Baton 

Rouge, LA 70804-9095. Please refer to AQ70 when 

inquiring about this rule. Copies of the program are available 

for review at the following DEQ locations from 8 a.m. until

04. Nonattainment New source Review Procedures 

A. Applicability. The provisions of this Section apply to 

the construction of any new major stationary source or to any 

major modification at a major stationary source, as defined 

herein, provided such source or modification will be located 

within a nonattainment area so designated pursuant to section 107 

of the federal Clean Air Act·, and will emit a regulated pollutant 

for which it is major and for which the area is designated 

nonattainment. 

1. For an a which is de 'gnated moderate, serious, or 

severe nonattainment e, volatile organic compounds and 

nitro9en oxides are t ated pollutants under this 

section. For an a is ignated marginal, incomplete 

data, or transit' nal nonattainmen for ozone, volatile organic 

compounds is e regulated pollutant under this Section. 

2. The potential to emit of a stationary source shall be 

compared to_ the major stationary source threshold values listed 

in Table 1 to determine whether the source is major. 

3. The emissions increase which would result from a 

proposed modification, without regard to project decreases, shall 

be compared to the trigger values listed in Table l to determine 

whether a calculation of the net emissions increase over the 

contemporaneous period must be performed. . . 4~ The net emissions increase shall be compared to the 

significant net emissio.ns increase values liste.d iri Table 1 to 

determine whether a rionattainmEmt new source review must be 

performed.

1. For the purposes of this Subsegtion, an "upset" is any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events 

beyond the control of the owner or operator, including acts of 

God, which situation requires immediate corrective action to 

restore normal operation and that causes the source to exceed.a 

technology-based emissions limitation under the permit due to 

unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the situation. 

An upset shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly designed equipment·, lack· or. preventative maintenance, 

careless or improper;:.:operation,t or ·opeJ::"iltOr;·.~;_etr.or~·) '

( reasonable steps to minimize levels of emissions that exceeded 

the emissions standards and-other requiz:emet:l~~ in the permit; and 

d. the owner or operator notified the permitting authority no later than two working days after tile time emissions 

limitations were exceeded, using the reporting procedures 

outlined in LAC 33:I.Chapter 39. 

3. In any enforcement proceeding, the owner and operator seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of

submit an annual statement. The statement shall consist of 

actual, annual emissions and typical weekday emissions that 

occur during the three-month period of greatest or most 

frequent ozone exceedances. "Typical weekday" emissions are 

defined as an "average" daily emission rate that is calculated 

for each month of the three-month period of greatest or most 

frequent ozone exceedances. The department will indicate in 

the annual instructions for completing and submitting 

emissions inventory, which three-month period has the greatest 

or most frequent ozone exceedances in each ozone

emissions rate facilities shall submit with their annual 

emissions statement. 

4. Special Inventories. Upon request by the 

administrative authority, any facility subject to any rule of the 

Air Quality Division shall file additional emissions data with 

the department. The request shall specify a reasonable time 

for response, which shall not be less than 60 days from receipt 

of the request. 

5. Minimum Data Requirements. The minimum data 

requirements are listed below. Operating and process rate 

information are for the purposes of information gathering

this Section states that submittal of a report of increased 

emissions above allowable limits under this regulation does not 

replace the need for compliance with LAC 33:111.505.Awhich 

requires a permit request to initiate or increase 

emissions. Format and submittal requirements will be 

published annually by the department. Any new or modified 

data requirements will be included in the annual requests for 

updates. Any substantive changes will be established in 

accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. The 

minimum data requirements apply to initial submittals 

only. Data requirements for updates require that only those 

data elements which have changed be submitted:

Air Quality Division 

Permitting Procedures (LAC 33:III.Chapter 5) (AQ70) 

Under the authority of the Louisiana Environmental Quality 

Act, particularly R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with 

the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 

49:950 et seq., the secretary has amended the Air Quality 

Division regulations, LAC 33:III.Chapter 5. 

The amendment to LAC 33:III.Chapter 5 updates the state's 

permitting procedures to meet the requirements mandated by 

Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Title V 

provides for a national air quality permitting system. Under 

Title V, the governor of each state must submit to the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), no later than 

November 15, 1993, a state permitting program. EPA has 

promulgated federal regulations, 40 CFR Part 70, establishing 

the criteria which each state program must meet. The state 

submittal must include finalized state permitting 

regulations. Under the new system, all emissions of regulated 

air pollutants and all federal standards and requirements which 

apply to a source must be documented in an operating 

permit. The permit helps to ensure compliance with all 

standards, and provides information regarding the types and 

quantities of pollutants being released and what steps the 

owner or operator is taking to minimize emissions. The 

operating permit also sets forth requirements for the 

monitoring and reporting of emissions and for annual 

certification by the owner or operator that all terms and 

conditions of the permit are being met. The requirements of 

the federal program apply to all major stationary sources in 

the state, and may also apply to specified minor sources 

designated by EPA. 

DEQ has amended the state air quality permitting program 

which will incorporate the required permit review and issuance 

procedures for Part 70 operating permits into the existing state 

preconstruction permit review and issuance procedures. Part 

70 sources would submit a permit application prior to 

construction, just as they are currently required to do under 

the existing state program. The permit application has been 

enhanced to ensure that it addresses all information required 

by Part 70. DEQ will review the application and will 

generally issue the permit prior to construction or 

modification, as is currently the case. The review and 

issuance procedures have been redefined, by this regulation 

revision, to ensure that all public notice, affected state, and 

EPA review requirements are met and that all timeframes for 

issuance required by Part 70 are achieved. Thus the 

preconstruction permit issued by DEQ will also serve as the 

Part 70 operating permit. 

Integration of the federal Part 70 operating permit program 

requirements with the existing state permitting program 

requirements has required this rewrite of LAC 33:III.Chapter 

5. The rule provides for a state permitting program which 

incorporates the Title V permitting requirements as well as 

permitting requirements for federal preconstruction programs 

and requirements that apply at the state level. The rule is 

available along with other background information, including 

a table which correlates specific Chapter 5 provisions with the 

previous Chapter 5 provisions and with required federal Part 

70 provisions. 

In accordance with the requirements of Title V of the 

Federal Clear Air Act amendments of 1990 and of 40 CFR 

Part 70, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, 

Air Quality Division, has submitted to the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) an operating 

permits program. The USEPA must review and approve or 

disapprove the Louisiana program by November 15, 1994. 

The program submittal includes a narrative description of the 

program, newly revised and adopted air quality permitting 

procedure regulations, the fee schedule which will fund the 

program, a workload/resource analysis and description of air 

quality division operations by section, and an opinion by the

B. Fee Methodology 

1. All persons required to obtain a new or modified permit 

shall be subject to a permit fee (see fee schedule) . This fee 

shall be submitted with any application for a new or modified 

permit. The annual maintenance fee for a new or modified source 

shall be paid during the fiscal year in which the process 

specified in the permit comes on line. 

2. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 

listed in the Fee Schedule shall be used to assess fees. 

3. The permit fee for multiple source permits shall be 

equal to the total amounts required by the individual processes 

involved, as listed in the Table. 

4. All invoices for annual maintenance fees for major 

sources shall be submitted to those sources during the fiscal 

year and remittances are due 30 days after receipt of the 

invoice. The annual maintenance fee shall be applicable to the 

fiscal year beginning July 1 of each year and ending the 

following June 30. Failure to remit the annual maintenance fee in 

accordance with the above shall be considered grounds for 

revoking an existing permit. Maintenance fees no~ received for 

prior fiscal years are due upon receipt of new or duplicate 

invoices. Minor sources may or may not receive an annual 

compliance inspection. In this case the maintenance fee must be 

paid within 30 days after notification by the agency of the 

amount due. Only one such fee shall be charged annually. 

5. If a conditional permit is issued in accordance with 

adopted procedures, fees submitted with that application for 

permit shall be retained and be applicable to the regular permit 

when it is acted upon. 

6. If a process is not listed in the Fee Schedule and is 

not a source type exempted from fees by this regulation, then the 

department shall assign a fee based on the most similar processes 

and negotiated separately. The Air Quality Division (AQD) shall 

analyze each permit request to determine the number of processes 

involved and the permit fee associated with each. 

7. Anually, the Air Quality Division (AQD) shall reevaluate 

the permit fee schedule based upon the previous fiscal year's 

reasonable costs involved in the operation of the permit system 

and submit such revised schedule to the secretary for approval. 

a. A permit fee exempt list shall be presented to the 

administrative authority annually for approval. The permit fee 

LA Title V Submittal

Regulations 

-

-
exempt list shall be in the offices of the Air Quality Division 

and shall be available for public inspection. Any person may 

request permit fee exemption for a source class by application to 

the administrative authority. Sources listed in the permit fee 

exempt list shall be exempt from the permit fee (Fee Schedule) 

and from having to obtain a permit. The administrative authority 

may grant initial approval and denial of the class exemption 

pending consideration by the administrative autt.ori ty. No Part 

70 source shall be exempt under this Chapter except any affected 

unit under 40 CFR 70.9(b) (4). 

9. When a company withdraws its application and claims 

refund for the permit fee, no refund shall be made if the review 

of the application is essentially completed at the time of 

withdrawal. However, up to 50 percent refund may be made when the 

review has been initiated but is not essentially completed. 

10. Annual maintenance fees (AMF) are n~t prorated. If a 

facility operates any part of a year or at a ~educed rate during 

the year, the full annual maintenance fee is still charged. In 

order for the annual maintenance fee to be cancelled, the 

facility must not operate at all during the year and the permit 

to operate for the facility must be cancelled. This aciton would 

require that a new permit be issued before the facility could be 

operated again. Failure to pay the annual maintenance fee will 

cause the permit for the facility covered by the fee to be 

cancelled. 

11. When a permanent shutdown occurs and a company properly 

notifies the Air Quality Division, by official change in the 

Emission Inventory Questionnaire (EIQ) and permit, the 

maintenance fee would be dropped for that shutdown portion of the 

process/plant in the appropriate fiscal year only if that portion 

of the process/plant does not operate at any time during that 

fiscal year. 

12. For most fees listed in these regulations, the minor 

modification fee is equal to the annual maintenance fee (AMF) , 

the major modification fee is three times the AMF, and the new 

application fee is five times the AMF. Minimum and maximum 

permit fees shall apply to all categories that have minimum and 

maximum AMF according to the following table. 

Permit Fees Minimum Maximum 

Minor min. AMF max. AMF

Major 3 x min. AMF 3 x max. AMF

If the above ratio was not used to establish the major 

modification and new application fees for a category, then the

Regulations 
actual ratio of major modification and new application fee to AMF 

shall be used. 

13. NSPS fees may be waived when a PSD application fee is 

imposed. 

14. The AQD administrator and staff will determine the type 

of fee. This determination will be based on the work load and on 

the factors described as follows: 

a. New application fee (based on new capacity or 

incremental capacity) applies when: 

i. a new facility is added; 

ii. a new operation in an existing facility is added; 

111. an existing operation is expanded by more than 80 

percent in capacity. 

b. Major modification fee (based on existing capacity) 

applies when: 

i. the modification will trigger PSD review; 

11. the modification would have triggered PSD review 

without the use of contemporaneous emission reductions or banked 

emissions; 

iii. the modification will increase 25 tons/yr. or 

more of nonattainment pollutant; 

iv. the modification will change emissions over 100 

tons{yr.; 

v. the modification will increase capacity of an 

existing operation by 40 percent. 

c. Minor modification fee (based on existing capacity) 

applies when a modification is not qualified under new 

application fee or major modification fee. 

d. If a modification is such that it does not increase 

capacity and changes emissions by less than 25 tonsjyear, the 

permit fee can be charged equal to the minimum.mtnor modification 

permit fee for each process category involved. 

15. Air Taxies Annual Emission Fees shall be assessed on 

actual annual emissions which occurred during the previous 

calendar year. 

16. For permits issued under LAC 33:III.507 the following 

applies: 

a. no application fee shall be charged for the initial 

permit provided no modifications are being made at the facility; 

and 

b. no application fee shall be charged for renewals of 

permits issued provided no modifications are being made at the 

facility.
