                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
            CHAPTER 85--AIR POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
 
                          SUBCHAPTER V--PERMITS
 
Sec. 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.
