The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Shipyard Title V Permit Application

Abstract

This Shipyard Title V Permit Application Manual was prepared as part of NSRP SP-1 Project 94-1. That project has also provided other interim assistance to shipyards as Title V programs have been developed and implemented. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (codified at 42 U.S.C. Chapter 85, Subchapter V, 7661 et seq.) requires certain existing facilities that emit regulated air pollutants to apply for new or upgraded operating permits for day-to-day air emissions. A facility that fails to submit a timely and complete Title V permit application when required to do so may not legally operate. 1/ The net effects of the Title V program will vary widely across facilities, depending on the underlying air pollution control requirements that apply to the facility, the terms of any existing air permits, and the case-by-case decisions of state and local permitting agencies and the U.S. EPA. U.S. EPA regulations implementing this program are found at 40 C.F.R. Part 70 (for authorized state programs) and Part 71 (for permits issued by EPA). In all states, Title V permit applications must provide at least the minimum information specified by EPA. Title V permits must also meet minimum federal requirements. However, authorized Title V programs are actually administered under state or regional regulations that are approved by EPA, and not under federal regulations. These state Title V permitting programs vary significantly. This manual provides guidance and specific tools for determining whether a Title V permit application is required for a facility, and for preparing a permit application. Work products prepared as part of this NSRP project that were still timely and relevant in August, 1996 are incorporated into or attached to this manual. Interim work products that have been rendered obsolete by Title V and MACT developments have been omitted.
