What is Title V?

In 1990, Title V was added to the Federal Clean Air Act requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a nationally enforceable operating permit program. Accordingly, the EPA passed regulations requiring each state or local permitting authority to develop and submit a federally enforceable facility operating permit program for EPA approval. Title V is intended to further facilitate and enhance air quality planning, emission controls, and compliance, and to improve existing emission inventories.

In addition to existing regulations, Title V provides for:

  • EPA veto authority over permit issuance

  • greater opportunity for federal and citizen enforcement

  • enhanced public participation during the permit issuance process

  • clearer determination of applicable requirements

  • improved enforceability of applicable requirements

  • enhanced public access to enforcement actions and emissions from Title V facilities
