Streamlining Title V Permitting of Printing Facilities

摘要

The operating permit program, as mandated by CAA Title V, requires affected facilities to obtain permits incorporating all applicable CAA requirements into a single document. Both permitting agencies and the regulated community have been interested in finding ways to make the permitting process more flexible and efficient. On November 22, 2002, EPA released a document intended to help streamline the Title V permitting process. Entitled Draft Technical Support Document (TSD) for Title V Permitting of Printing Facilities and directed toward the permit writer, the purpose of the document is to: "... [F]acilitate opportunities for more efficient permit issuance by simplifying the development of Title V permits for printing facilities ...." In addition, the document is intended to clarify approaches to permit writing for the printing and other industry sectors. The TSD also attempts to clarify EPA policies and promote greater certainty and consistency in permitting.
