    (a) This part sets forth the comprehensive Federal air quality 
operating permits permitting program consistent with the requirements of 
title V of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) and defines the requirements 
and the corresponding standards and procedures by which the 
Administrator will issue operating permits. This permitting program is 
designed to promote timely and efficient implementation of goals and 
requirements of the Act.
    (b) All sources subject to the operating permit requirements of 
title V and this part shall have a permit to operate that assures 
compliance by the source with all applicable requirements.
    (c) The requirements of this part, including provisions regarding 
schedules for submission and approval or disapproval of permit 
applications, shall apply to the permitting of affected sources under 
the acid rain program, except as provided herein or as modified by title 
IV of the Act and 40 CFR parts 72 through 78.
    (d) Issuance of permits under this part may be coordinated with 
issuance of permits under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 
U.S.C. 6901 et seq.) and under the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et 
seq.), whether issued by the State, the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA), or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
    (e) Nothing in this part shall prevent a State from administering an 
operating permits program and establishing more stringent requirements 
not inconsistent with the Act.
