Notice of Availability for Draft Guidance on the Technical Support Document (TSD) for Title V Permitting of Printing Facilities

We are making available for public review a draft of our pending guidance on the design of air permits for the printing sector. Some approaches in the draft TSD would be potentially available to other industry sectors as well. The technical support document provides guidance to State and local permitting authorities on how they can choose to more efficiently design such permits while ensuring that they still meet all substantive and procedural requirements of the Clean Air Act, including, as applicable, the operating permit regulations EPA promulgated as part 70 of title 40, chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations. While not mandatory, we would recommend that permitting authorities use this guidance where allowed by their regulations and as their resources and needs dictate. In no instance would this guidance allow sources to not comply fully with any applicable requirement; it only presents more flexible and/or efficient approaches for doing so. Where State regulations allow, the guidance is potentially useful in streamlining the permit issuance process and minimizing the subsequent need for permit revisions. We believe that the draft will also advance high priority goals wit
