Search 42 U.S.C. § 7661c : US Code - Section 7661C: Permit requirements and conditions

(a) Conditions
Each permit issued under this subchapter shall include
enforceable emission limitations and standards, a schedule of
compliance, a requirement that the permittee submit to the
permitting authority, no less often than every 6 months, the
results of any required monitoring, and such other conditions as
are necessary to assure compliance with applicable requirements of
this chapter, including the requirements of the applicable
implementation plan.
(b) Monitoring and analysis
The Administrator may by rule prescribe procedures and methods
for determining compliance and for monitoring and analysis of
pollutants regulated under this chapter, but continuous emissions
monitoring need not be required if alternative methods are
available that provide sufficiently reliable and timely information
for determining compliance. Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to affect any continuous emissions monitoring requirement
of subchapter IV-A of this chapter, or where required elsewhere in
this chapter.
(c) Inspection, entry, monitoring, certification, and reporting
Each permit issued under this subchapter shall set forth
inspection, entry, monitoring, compliance certification, and
reporting requirements to assure compliance with the permit terms
and conditions. Such monitoring and reporting requirements shall
conform to any applicable regulation under subsection (b) of this
section. Any report required to be submitted by a permit issued to
a corporation under this subchapter shall be signed by a
responsible corporate official, who shall certify its accuracy.
(d) General permits
The permitting authority may, after notice and opportunity for
public hearing, issue a general permit covering numerous similar
sources. Any general permit shall comply with all requirements
applicable to permits under this subchapter. No source covered by a
general permit shall thereby be relieved from the obligation to
file an application under section 7661b of this title.
(e) Temporary sources
The permitting authority may issue a single permit authorizing
emissions from similar operations at multiple temporary locations.
No such permit shall be issued unless it includes conditions that
will assure compliance with all the requirements of this chapter at
all authorized locations, including, but not limited to, ambient
standards and compliance with any applicable increment or
visibility requirements under part C of subchapter I of this
chapter. Any such permit shall in addition require the owner or
operator to notify the permitting authority in advance of each
change in location. The permitting authority may require a separate
permit fee for operations at each location.
(f) Permit shield
Compliance with a permit issued in accordance with this
subchapter shall be deemed compliance with section 7661a of this
title. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator by rule,
the permit may also provide that compliance with the permit shall
be deemed compliance with other applicable provisions of this
chapter that relate to the permittee if -
(1) the permit includes the applicable requirements of such
provisions, or
(2) the permitting authority in acting on the permit
application makes a determination relating to the permittee that
such other provisions (which shall be referred to in such
determination) are not applicable and the permit includes the
determination or a concise summary thereof.
Nothing in the preceding sentence shall alter or affect the
provisions of section 7603 of this title, including the authority
of the Administrator under that section.
