(B) The director shall adopt, and may amend, suspend, and rescind, rules to facilitate the implementation, supervision, administration, and operation of the Title V permit program that are consistent with, and no more stringent than, the requirements of Title V of the federal Clean Air Act and 40 C.F.R. part 70. The rules shall establish at least all of the following:

1. (1) Definitions of the following terms, which shall be consistent with and no more stringent than the definitions in 40 C.F.R. part 70: "administrative permit amendment," "affected source," "applicable requirement," "emergency," "emissions unit," "fugitive emissions," "major source," "major stationary source," "potential to emit," "regulated air pollutant," and "stationary source;"
2. (2) Provisions for minor modifications and operational flexibility that minimize administrative burdens on a source and ensure maximum operational flexibility consistent with the federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under it;

3. (3) Provisions for administrative Title V permit amendments. The rules shall require the director to approve or disapprove an administrative permit amendment in accordance with all of the following:

   1. (a) The director shall take not more than sixty days from receipt of a request for an administrative permit amendment to issue a final action on the request in accordance with the procedures specified in 40 C.F.R. 70.7 (d).
   2. (b) Chapter 119. and sections 3704.04 and 3745.07 of the Revised Code do not apply to administrative permit amendments under division (B)(3) of this section.
   3. (c) The director's determination under division (B)(3) of this section is a final action appealable to the environmental review appeals commission under section 3745.04 of the Revised Code.
4. (4) Provisions for exemption of insignificant air contaminant sources from inclusion in the Title V permit program. To the extent consistent with the federal Clean Air Act, the exemptions shall include, at a minimum, all source categories that are excluded from the requirements to obtain installation permits and operating permits pursuant to divisions (F) and (G) of section 3704.03 of the Revised Code and any source categories specifically exempted under 40 C.F.R. part 70 and also shall include, to the extent consistent with the federal Clean Air Act, any air contaminant sources with the potential to emit not more than five tons per year of a federally regulated air pollutant other than hazardous air pollutants and not more than twenty per cent of an applicable major source threshold under the federal Clean Air Act.
5. (5) Provisions to implement the permit shield permitted by the Federal Clean Air Act to the extent consistent with that act and regulations adopted under it, including at least provisions by which a Title V permit applicant may request the director to make a determination whether a provision or class of requirements of that act is applicable to the applicant's air contaminant source. Any such determination made by the director shall be specified in the applicant's Title V permit. The director may adopt, amend, suspend, and rescind such other rules as are necessary for a federally approvable Title V permit program, which shall be consistent with, and no more stringent than, the requirements of Title V of the federal Clean Air Act and 40 C.F.R. part 70.

(E) The director expressly shall include permit shield provisions for each Title V permit in accordance with the following requirements:

1. (1) Except as provided in this section, the director shall expressly include in a Title V permit a provision stating that compliance with the conditions of the permit shall be deemed to be compliance with any applicable requirements as of the date of permit issuance, provided that either:

   1. (a) The applicable requirements are included and are specifically identified in the permit;
   2. (b) The director, in acting on the permit application or revision, determines in writing that other requirements specifically identified are not applicable to the facility, and the permit includes the determination or a concise summary of it.

2. (2) Nothing in division (E) of this section or in any Title V permit shall alter or affect any of the following:

   1. (a) The provisions of section 303 of the federal Clean Air Act, including the authority of the administrator under that section;
   2. (b) The liability of an owner or operator of a facility for any violation of applicable requirements prior to or at the time of permit issuance;
   3. (c) The applicable requirements of the acid rain program, consistent with section 408 (a) of the federal Clean Air Act;
   4. (d) The ability of the administrator to obtain information from a facility pursuant to section 114 of the federal Clean Air Act.

(F)

1. (1) Title V permit applications shall be acted upon by the director in accordance with Chapters 119. and 3745. of the Revised Code and with 40 C.F.R. 70.8. If a Title V permit expires after a complete and timely renewal application has been filed with the director, all provisions and authorizations of the expired permit shall remain in effect until the director's final action on the pending renewal application. The director's failure to take action on a Title V permit application or permit renewal or modification application within the deadlines specified in the federal Clean Air Act or in 40 C.F.R. part 70 shall be a final action appealable to the environmental review appeals commission under section 3745.04 of the Revised Code.
2. (2) The director shall not issue a Title V permit if the administrator timely objects to its issuance under 40 C.F.R. 70.8 (c) or (d).
3. (3) The director may modify, revoke, or revoke and reissue a Title V permit for cause. The director shall modify, revoke, or revoke and reissue a Title V permit if requested to do so by the administrator under 40 C.F.R. 70.8 (d).

(L) The director shall take all necessary and appropriate action to do both of the following:

1. (1) Issue Title V permits for affected sources consistent with the requirements of Title IV of the federal Clean Air Act;
2. (2) Implement, through Title V permits, applicable requirements of section 112 of the federal Clean Air Act.

(O) The director shall adopt rules doing both of the following:

1. (1) Establishing procedures under which any air contaminant source may assume federally enforceable restrictions on its emissions rates, operating rates, hours of operation, or other parameters that are more stringent than those limitations that ordinarily would apply to the source in order to limit the potential of the source to emit;
2. (2) To the maximum extent possible consistent with federal law, allowing such a source to impose the limitations described in division (O)(1) of this section on its operations unilaterally without further action by the director or approval from the United States environmental protection agency and otherwise minimizing the time required to effectuate such federally enforceable limits. Until the director adopts rules under division (O) of this section, the owner or operator of an air contaminant source or sources may submit an application for a permit or permit modification pursuant to division (G) of section 3704.03 of the Revised Code with federally enforceable terms and conditions to limit the potential to emit of the source or sources to less than the major source emission thresholds defined in 40 C.F.R. 70.2. The application shall identify both an annual limit and a short-term limit of not more than thirty days for each pollutant to be restricted together with adequate methods for establishing compliance with the limits. Upon submission of the application, the limits shall be federally enforceable against the applicant. The application shall be signed by a responsible official and submitted simultaneously to the director and the administrator. The director shall act on the application in accordance with Chapters 119. and 3745. of the Revised Code.
