Renewal Requirements
Title V permits are required to be renewed every five years, as
specified in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code §§
122.241 and 122.505. State and federal regulations also require
permit holders to submit timely and complete permit applications
between 6 and 18 months prior to the expiration date of the
permit. The regulations further define a complete application
as one that has been received at least 60 days without request
for additional information or notification of incompleteness.
Unlike state new source review permit renewals, submittal of Title
V renewal applications at any time prior to permit expiration will
not necessarily provide continuing authorization to operate. To
provide this coverage, the submittal must be complete, and
it must arrive at the agency between 6 and 18 months before the
permit's expiration date.
Consequences of Failure to Reapply
The APD will process and take final action on timely
applications, and receipt of a timely and complete application will
allow permit holders to operate beyond the permit's expiration
until a final action is taken on the application. Untimely or
incomplete applications, however, or failure to apply at all, will
result in the loss of the permit holder's authorization to operate
after the expiration date of the permit. In this case, permit
holders will also lose the opportunity to renew their permits, and
will have to reapply for a new permit and authorization to operate.
These outcomes are prescribed in Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 70, and the agency has no discretion in the
matter.
Awareness Measures Implemented
Advisories will be distributed through various media available.
Besides posting to this site, distribution will also occur through
e-mail notices to, and meetings with, the Title V stakeholders;
publication in the TCEQ Natural Outlook newsletter; speaking
opportunities at public and industry group meetings and at agency
sponsored seminars; and by agency notification letters to permit
holders. These letters will be sent out approximately 18 months and
again at approximately 12 months before the permit actually
expires, advising of renewal requirements and upcoming permit
expiration. A reminder to submit the renewal application, along
with an explanation of the consequence of failure to do so, will be
included in these notifications.
