Definition and description of a permit shield
Question:
What's a permit shield?
Answer:
A permit shield is documentation in the permit that a potentially applicable requirement does not apply to specific emission units at the site. For example, an applicant can request a permit shield for a specific New Source Performance Standard in 40 CFR Part 60 for an emission unit because it was constructed prior to the applicability date of the rule.
