Permit Issuance(s), Renewal(s), Reopening(s), And Revision(s). A. Action on application. (1) A permit, permit modification, or renewal may be issued only upon satisfaction of the conditions that follow: (a) the DEQ has received a complete application for a permit, permit modification, or permit renewal, except that a complete application need not be received before issuance of a general permit under Rule 6.3.D. of these regulations; (b) except for modifications qualifying for minor permit modification procedures under this section, the DEQ has complied with the requirements for public participation under this section; (c) the DEQ has complied with the requirements for notifying and responding to Affected State(s) under Rule 6.5.B. of these regulations; (d) the conditions of the permit provide for compliance with all applicable requirements and the requirements of these regulations; and (e) the Administrator has received a copy of the proposed permit and any notices required under Rule 6.5.A. and Rule 6.5.B. of these regulations, and has not objected to issuance of the permit under Rule 6.5.C. of these regulations within the time period specified therein. (2) Except as provided under the initial transition plan or under regulations promulgated under Title IV or Title V of the Federal Act for the permitting of affected sources under the acid rain program, the Permit Board shall take final action on each permit application (including a request for permit modification or renewal) within 180 days or as otherwise provided for under State Law, after receiving a complete application. (3) The DEQ shall provide a statement that sets forth the legal and factual basis for the draft permit conditions (including references to the applicable statutory or regulatory provisions). The DEQ shall send this statement to any person upon a written request and to EPA. (4) The submittal of a complete application shall not affect the requirement that any source have a Construction Permit. B. Requirement for a permit. Except as provided in the following sentence and paragraphs of this section, no Title V source may operate after the time that it is required to submit a timely and complete application, except in compliance with a Title V permit. If a Title V source submits a timely and complete application for permit issuance (including for renewal), the source's failure to have a Title V permit is not a violation of these regulations until the Permit Board takes final action on the permit application, except as noted in this section. This protection shall cease to apply if, subsequent to the completeness determination made pursuant to Rule 6.2.A(2). and as required by Rule 6.2.A(2). of these regulations, the applicant fails to submit by the deadline specified in writing by the DEQ any additional information identified as being needed to process the application. C. Permit renewal and expiration. (1) Permits being renewed are subject to the same procedural requirements, including those for public participation, Affected State(s) review and EPA review, that apply to initial permit issuance; and (2) Permit expiration terminates the source's right to operate unless a timely and complete renewal application has been submitted consistent with Rule 6.4.B. and
