  "definition": "1. In some cases, more than one emissions standard will apply to an emissions unit, e.g., a unit could be subject to a SIP rule, an NSPS standard, and BACT requirements from a construction permit. This situation existed long before Title V, but is now more difficult to ignore because of the requirement that the Title V permit assure compliance with all applicable requirements. This drove industry and regulators to look for a means to simplify permit writing and compliance when multiple standards apply. The basic concept behind streamlining is that, as long as the permit contains the most stringent of the overlapping requirements, the permit will assure compliance with all of the overlapping requirements.\n\n2. If a source wants to streamline overlapping requirements, it must put together a side-by-side comparison of the various requirements that demonstrates which is most stringent. The streamlined requirement will consist of the most stringent limit, the \"most assuring\" monitoring, and the record keeping and reporting associated with the chosen monitoring. Monitoring, record keeping, and reporting to determine compliance with less stringent limit(s) is not required.",
