Operating permits are legally enforceable documents issued to air
pollution sources after they have begun to operate. Title V operating
permits are required at most large "major" sources and some smaller
"area" sources of air pollution. This requirement comes from
Title V of the
Clean Air Act, as amended
in 1990.
Title V permits, often called Part 70 permits, are issued under the authority in 40 CFR Part 70. Most Title V permits are issued by State and local permitting authorities. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also issues Title V permits, under Part 71, to sources in Indian country and in other situations, as needed.

Title V permits...
- Create legally-enforceable documents designed to improve compliance by clarifying what facilities must do to control air pollution.
- Include all applicable pollution-control requirements from federal or state regulations that apply to a source.
- Allow state and local agencies to collect emission based fees to help carry out their air pollution control objectives.
