Title V Program BackgroundII. The title V program requires certain sources of air pollution to obtain Federal operating permits from their respective States or air districts. These Federal operating permits improve enforcement and compliance by consolidating all applicable Federal requirements into one federally enforceable document. The NSAQMD Title V Operating Permit Program is implemented through its “Title V Federal Operating Permits” rule, codified as NSAQMD Rule 522. The EPA finds these revisions acceptable as title V program revisions and consistent with part 70 provisions.
