EPA's Issued Operating Permits page provides basic information on Clean Air Act Permitting under the Title V Operating Permits program, provides access to state and regional permitting programs, and maintains access to proposed and final regulatory requirements. Below is a description of forms used to apply for an operating permit. Once you know which form you need, you can skip straight to the EPA's website to download.

General Information and Summary (GIS) Form

This form is required to be completed by all applicants as part of an application for a 40 CFR Part 71 Federal Operating Permit.

Emission Unit Description for Combustion Sources (EUD1)

This form is used to describe emissions units that combust solid or liquid fuels, such as boilers, steam generators, electric generators and the like.

 Emission Unit Description for VOC emitting Sources (EUD2)

This form is used to describe emissions units that use, process, store or produce substances containing VOC and that primarily emit VOC, such as painting or coating operations and printers. In addition, this form may also be useful for certain HAP emitting sources. The purpose of this form is to help you collect and organize technical data, including operational characteristics, applicable requirements, compliance terms, and emissions.

 Emission Unit Description for Process Sources (EUD3)

This form is designed to describe emissions units for processes for which forms EUD-1 or EUD-2 are not appropriate. For example, sources such as rock crushers and asphalt batch plants. This form will help you to collect and organize technical information, including operational characteristics, applicable requirements, compliance terms, and emissions for each emissions unit.

 Insignificant Activities (IE)

Use this form only if there are any equipment, emissions units, or emitting activities at the facility that qualify for insignificant treatment due to insignificant emissions levels (defined in the part 71 rule) and such treatment is desired.

 Emission Calculations (EMISS)

Use this form to quantify emissions for each significant emissions unit identified in section I of form GIS. This form aids in the organization emissions data needed on forms PTE and FEE. Do not complete this form for any units or activities listed as insignificant on form IE. Sources applying for permit revisions only need complete this form for each emissions unit affected by the change.

 Potential to Emit Summary (PTE)

Calculates the total PTE for each air pollutant at the facility for purposes of determining major source applicability.

 Fee Calculation Worksheet (FEE)

Use this form to initially or annually calculate fees.

 Fee Filing (FF)

Complete this form each time a form FEE is completed and send this form to the appropriate lockbox bank address, along with full payment. This form required at time of initial fee payment, and thereafter, when paying annual fees.

 Initial Compliance Plan and Compliance Certification (I-COMP)

Used to identify current compliance and noncompliance as well as how compliance will be achieved.

 Certification of Truth, Accuracy, and Completeness (CTAC)

This form must be completed, signed by the "Responsible Official" designated for the facility or emission unit, and sent with each submission of documents (i.e., application forms, updates to applications, reports, or any information required by a part 71 permit).
