EPA Clean Air Act - Operating Permits Information, Regulations, Downloads & LinksBack to the CAA PageIntroductionThe Clean Air Act (CAA) operating permits program provides a mechanism for gathering together in one document all the federal, State, and local regulations and requirements applicable to air pollution sources. The goals of the operating permits program are to ensure that air emission source operators know what air pollution control requirements apply, to improve compliance, and to resolve applicability questions. As an outcome of this, the public will be better informed about sources of pollution in their neighborhoods. Available InformationWhat are the requirements?The Operating Permits Program was established by the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act in Title V sections 501 to 506. Regulations for implementing the operating permit requirements were promulgated on July 21, 1992 and are located in 40 CFR Part 70(Adobe PDF). Federal Operating Permit Regulations were promulgated as 40 CFR Part 71 on July 1, 1996. These regulations apply in those circumstances where an approved operating permit program does not exist.These regulations were proposed on April 27, 1995 at 60 FR 20803. Part 71 application forms, including detailed instructions, are available for sources to use to apply for a part 71 permit. Individual State and local permitting have adopted regulations that were approved by EPA as meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 70. Revisions to monitoring and testing requirements and compliance certification procedures were promulgated with the Compliance Assurance Monitoring rule on October 22, 1997 at 62 FR 54899. What guidance has been prepared?Guidance memoranda have been prepared to define, discuss, and clarify the requirements for an approvable State or local title V permitting program. Copies of these memoranda are available for download on EPA's Technology Transfer Network (the OAQPS TTN). Who are responsible for implementing the permits programs?Operating permits are issued by State and Local Permitting Authorities. For information regarding the status of permits or the specific permitting requirements, these agencies should be contacted. The EPA offices listed below are responsible for general program requirements and overall coordination. The EPA's Operating Permits GroupThe EPA's Acid Rain DivisionThe EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance AssuranceThe EPA's Regional OfficesWhat is the approval status for each of the State and local permitting authorities? By November 15, 1993, operating permits programs were to have been submitted for all States and territories consistent with the Operating Permits Program regulations. Submittals were required from the 50 States, District of Columbia and U.S. Trust Territories and Possessions. In many cases, local programs are responsible for developing and implementing the operating permits programs for their areas of jurisdiction. For example, 34 local programs in California will implement the permit program across the State. Steps in the approval process: State or local agency submits a plan for issuing permits to operate facilities that emit air pollutionEPA regional offices determine whether submittal is complete enough for reviewEPA notifies States of completeness statusEPA proposes to approve or disapprove in Federal RegisterPublic given opportunity to comment on submittalEPA publishes final approval or disapproval of State or local operating permits programFacilities submit permit applications to agenciesAgencies review and approve applications, grant operating permits To date: Approvals have been published in the Federal Register for 52 State and all 60 local programs.Approvals of Section 325 actions have also been published for 3 territories.Status of Operating Permits ProgramsThe approval status of state, local, and territorial operating permits programs are summarized on subsequent pages.
