Federal Operating Permit Program (40 CFR Part 71)


INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR PART 71 FORMS


Who Must Apply for an Operating Permit under Part 71


This manual is designed to help part 71 sources apply for part 71 permits. Please refer to 40 CFR 71.3 for detailed information on which sources are subject to these requirements. These forms can be used to apply for the initial operating permit, renewals, and permit revisions for Part 71 sources and, in certain cases, revisions or re-openings to part 70 permits.


Where to File the Application Forms


The completed applications or reporting forms should be mailed to the EPA regional office responsible for permitting in the area where you are located. When a State, tribe or other permitting agency has been delegated the part 71 program, your application should be mailed to that agency. Note that certain fee-related information is mailed to a separate location.


When to File the Application Forms


A part 71 source applying for the first time is generally required to submit an application within 12 months of the effective date of the part 71 permitting program or within 12 months of the source commencing operation, whichever occurs later. If you already have a part 70 permit, you do not have to apply for a part 71 permit until the part 70 permit expires. If you are renewing a part 71 permit, the application must be submitted within the timeframe required in the existing permit. Certain part 71 forms are for reporting information during the permit term; the permit will specify when these reports should be submitted.


Information Collection Burden Estimate


The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 221 hours per respondent per year. Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20460. Include the OMB control number in any correspondence. Do not send the completed form to this address.

Information Made Available to the Public and Confidential Treatment of Information


Information contained in the permit application will, upon request, be made available to the public for inspection and copying.

The Applicants may be required by any delegate agency to provide a copy of the permit application directly to the EPA Regional office. All business confidentiality claims will be processed by the permitting authority following the procedures found in 40 CFR part 2.


Record Retention


Applicants must retain records, materials, worksheets, or other support material used in the preparation of any required forms for a period of at least 5 years from the date the information is submitted to EPA.

At any time after the application is administratively complete, the permitting authority may request additional information in writing, giving a reasonable time for response. It is also the responsibility of applicants who fail to submit relevant facts or submit incorrect information in an application to promptly submit supplementary facts or corrected information.

Cross-referencing is allowed for materials that are currently applicable and available to the public and the permitting authority. If the materials do not meet this standard they must be submitted as an attachment to the form. All cross-referenced materials will be placed in the public docket on the permit action, unless they are published and/or readily available.


Use of Attachments


Attachments may be used by applicants to report any information asked for in a form. When you use an attachment, please cross-reference it on the form.


Use of “Not Applicable”


To indicate that each section has been considered, enter "NA" for "not applicable" or indicate that it is applicable but the information will be submitted at a later date and indicate the date it will be submitted (either in the space provided or on an attachment).
