Abstract: On July 1, 1996, EPA published the final regulation for the Federal Operating Permits Program (61 FR 34202). That regulation, codified at 40 CFR part 71, requires that owners or operators of part 71 sources pay fees sufficient to cover the Agency's "permit program costs." Such costs should include, at a minimum, the costs of the activities listed at 40 CFR 71.9(b). The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance on the principles that Regions should follow in determining what expenses should be considered program costs for purposes of the part 71 program.
