Notice of Comment Period and Announcement of Public Meeting on Proposed Air Quality Standard Permit for Thermoset Resin Facilities

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is providing an opportunity for public comment and will conduct a public meeting to receive testimony concerning the thermoset resin standard air permit proposed for issuance under the Texas Clean Air Act, Texas Health and Safety Code, §382.05195, Standard Permit, and Title 30, Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) Chapter 116, Subchapter F, Standard Permits.

PROPOSED STANDARD PERMIT

The proposed new air quality standard permit for thermoset resin facilities would replace the current permit by rule (PBR) for thermoset resin facilities available under 30 TAC §106.392, Thermoset Resin Facilities. The PBR was last amended in 1994 and its evaluation was based on emission factors which have changed and a short-term affects screening level (used to determine off-property impacts) which has been lowered. The underestimation of styrene emissions makes it inappropriate to allow new or modified thermoset resin facilities to be authorized under the conditions of 30 TAC §106.392. Owners or operators currently authorized under the PBR can continue to do so until the facilities are modified. The PBR currently authorizes thermoset resin facilities with a maximum resin and gelcoat usage of 75 tons per year (tpy) for spraying operations and 150 tpy for non-spraying operations. The proposed standard permit emission limits would vary depending on the building height, stack height, and flow rate. In a separate commission action, 30 TAC §106.392 will be repealed and will be unavailable for use upon issuance of this standard permit.

The New Source Review Program under 30 TAC Chapter 116, Control of Air Pollution by Permits for New Construction or Modification, requires any person who plans to construct any new facility or to engage in the modification of any existing facility which may emit air contaminants into the air of the state to obtain a permit in accordance with 30 TAC §116.111, General Application, satisfy the de minimis criteria of 30 TAC §116.119, De Minimis Facilities or Sources, or satisfy the conditions of a standard permit, a flexible permit, or a permit by rule before any actual work is begun on the facility. A standard permit authorizes the construction of new facilities or modification of existing facilities that are similar in terms of operations, processes, and emissions.

A standard permit is subject to the procedural requirements of 30 TAC §116.603, Public Participation in Issuance of Standard Permits, which includes a 30-day public comment period and a public meeting to provide an additional opportunity for public comment. Any person who may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from facilities that may be registered under the standard permit is entitled to submit written or verbal comments regarding the proposed standard permit.

PUBLIC MEETING

A public meeting on the proposed standard permit for thermoset resin facilities will be held in Austin, Texas. The meeting will be structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. Open discussion with the audience will not occur during the meeting; however, TCEQ staff will be available to discuss the standard permit for thermoset resin facilities 30 minutes prior to the meeting and staff will also answer questions after the meeting. The public meeting will be held on May 22, 2007 at 2:00, at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Building C, Room 131E, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin.

PUBLIC COMMENT AND INFORMATION

Copies of the proposed standard permit for thermoset resin facilities may be obtained from the TCEQ Web site at http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/permitting/air/nav/nsr_news.htm or by contacting the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of Permitting, Remediation, and Registration, Air Permits Division, at (512) 239-1250. Comments may be mailed to Ms. Becky Southard, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Office of Permitting, Remediation, and Registration, Air Permits Division, MC 163, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or faxed to (512) 239-5698. All comments should reference the standard permit for thermoset resin facilities.

Under the amended state plan, HHSC staff will receive and process requests for review. This amendment also updates statutory references based on recodification of Texas Insurance Code provisions effective April 1, 2007.

HHSC anticipates that the proposed amendment to the state plan will result in annual aggregate spending of approximately $340,314 for Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2007, with approximately $246,898, in federal funds and approximately $93,416, in state general revenue, and annual aggregate spending of approximately $702,787, for FFY 2008, with approximately $508,607, in federal funds and approximately $194,180, in state general revenue.

2.3 Procedure for Claiming Prizes.

A. To claim a "PAYDAY BONUS" Instant Game prize of $1.00, $2.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, $100 or $500, a claimant shall sign the back of the ticket in the space designated on the ticket and present the winning ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not, in some cases, required to pay a $50.00, $100 or $500 ticket. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "PAYDAY BONUS" Instant Game prize of $1,000, the claimant must sign the winning ticket and present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "PAYDAY BONUS" Instant Game prize, the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete a claim form, and mail both to: Texas Lottery Commission, Post Office Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The risk of sending a ticket remains with the claimant. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct a sufficient amount from the winnings of a person who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the Comptroller, the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission;

2. delinquent in making child support payments administered or collected by the Attorney General;

3. delinquent in reimbursing the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for a benefit granted in error under the food stamp program or the program of financial assistance under Chapter 31, Human Resources Code;

4. in default on a loan made under Chapter 52, Education Code; or

5. in default on a loan guaranteed under Chapter 57, Education Code.

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of less than $600 from the "PAYDAY BONUS" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of more than $600 from the "PAYDAY BONUS" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code Section 466.408. Any prize not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. An Instant Game ticket may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Instant Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of an Instant Game ticket in the space designated, a ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Instant Game tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Instant Game ticket.

4.0 Number and Value of Instant Prizes. There will be approximately 10,080,000 tickets in the Instant Game No. 772. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:

Figure 3: GAME NO. 772 - 4.0

5.0 End of the Instant Game. The Executive Director may, at any time, announce a closing date (end date) for the Instant Game No. 772 without advance notice, at which point no further tickets in that game may be sold.

6.0 Governing Law. In purchasing an Instant Game ticket, the player agrees to comply with, and abide by, these Game Procedures for Instant Game No. 772, the State Lottery Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 466), applicable rules adopted by the Texas Lottery pursuant to the State Lottery Act and referenced in 16 TAC, Chapter 401, and all final decisions of the Executive Director.
