Our most recent Technical Bulletin discusses guidance to simplify the Title V operating permit renewal process, emphasizing administrative efficiency while maintaining full compliance obligations. The guidance encourages focusing on changes rather than resubmitting unchanged information, but facilities must remain vigilant as renewals can reveal unresolved compliance issues.
