Sources required to have a preconstruction permit under Part C or Part D of Title I of the act shall submit a complete Title V permit application within twelve months after commencing operation, provided that where an existing Title V permit would prohibit construction or operation of such new or modified source, a Title V permit revision shall be obtained before operation of such new or modified source.
