Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments requires all major sources and some minor sources of air pollution to obtain an operating permit. A Title V permit grants a source permission to operate. The permit includes all air pollution requirements that apply to the source, including emissions limits and monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements. It also requires that the source report its compliance status with respect to permit conditions to the permitting authority.
Most title V permits are issued by State and local permitting
authorities. These permits are often called part 70 permits because the
regulations that establish minimum standards for State permit programs
are found in the Code
of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR part 70 . 
However, EPA also issues title V permits to sources in Indian country
and in other situations, as needed. EPA-issued permits are called part
71 permits.
