The TNRCC proposes revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 115, concerning Control of Air Pollution from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC); 30 TAC Chapter 101, concerning the General Rules; and the SIP in response to a requirement by EPA and the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) Amendments for states to develop and adopt the Rate of Progress (ROP) SIP. The Phase II ROP rules and SIP are the remaining reductions required to achieve and maintain a VOC emissions level that is 15% below the 1990 base-year emissions by 1996 in the Beaumont/Port Arthur (B/PA), Dallas/Fort Worth (D/FW), El Paso, and Houston/Galveston (H/G) ozone nonattainment areas. The rules affect some or all of the ozone nonattainment counties of Brazoria, Chambers, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Fort Bend, Galveston, Hardin, Harris, Jefferson, Liberty, Montgomery, Orange, Tarrant, and Waller. The TNRCC proposes revisions to sec.115.10 and sec.101.1, concerning Definitions. The proposed changes add definitions for terms used in bakeries, offset printing, and wood coating, and revise the definition for continuous monitoring to add an allowance for data capture. New rules and revisions to existing rules have been proposed in order to obtain the balance of the 15% reduction in VOC emissions required by the FCAA: sec.sec.115.121-115.129, Commercial Bakeries in D/FW, El Paso, and H/G; sec.sec.115. 141-115.149, Industrial Wastewater (new) in D/FW, El Paso, and H/G; sec. sec.115. 152-115.159, Municipal Landfills in El Paso and H/G; sec.sec.115.211-115.219, Marine Vessel Loading in H/G and Gasoline Terminals in D/FW, El Paso, and H/G; sec.sec.115.252-115.259, Reid Vapor Pressure in El Paso; sec.sec.15.352-115.359, Fugitive Monitoring in D/FW; sec.115.412-115.419, Acetone Replacement in D/FW, El Paso, and H/G; sec.sec.115.421-115.429, Wood Coatings in D/FW, El Paso, and H/G; sec.sec.15.541-115.549, Vessel Cleaning in D/FW and El Paso; and sec.sec.115.552-115. 559, Dry Cleaners (new) in D/FW, El Paso, and H/G. Revisions are being proposed in response to a petition by the Texas Paper Industry Environmental Council to sec.115.127 to add an exemption for vent gas streams in the pulp and paper industry. Sections 115.442-115.449, concerning Offset Printing, are proposed for the D/FW and H/G areas and for Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, and Rockwall counties to minimize unfair competition in the D/FW Consolidated Metropolitan Area. New sec.sec.115.600-115.617, concerning Consumer Products, are proposed as statewide rules to obtain maximum rule effectiveness. Revisions are proposed to sec.sec.115.132-115.139, concerning Water Separators, to extend the compliance date to May 31, 1995, to allow for coordination with the wastewater rules. Revisions are proposed to add new "once-in, always-in" language to allow the removal of control equipment under certain conditions in the following sections: sec.115.132, concerning Water Separators; sec.115.422, concerning Wood Coatings; sec.115.432, concerning Rotogravure and Flexigraphic Printing; and sec.115.532, concerning Pharmaceuticals.

Renfrow Secretary of the Commission Public Utility Commission of Texas Filed: December 16, 1993 Notice of Proposed Revisions to Annual and Semi-Annual Earnings Reports The staff of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) is proposing several revisions to the annual and semi-annual Earnings Reports required under sec.23.11(o) and sec.23.12(b)(2). Pursuant to sec.22.80, notice of this proposed change is being published for purposes of inviting public comment on the proposed revisions. After public comment has been received, the PUC staff will make a recommendation for consideration by the Commission in open meeting. If approved by the Commission, the changes would become effective beginning with the Earnings Reports for calendar year 1993 which are due to be filed in April 1994. A detailed written description of the proposed revisions is available for review in the Central Records office of the Commission. The file reference is Project Number 9418 (Earnings Monitoring). Persons wishing to comment on the proposed revisions should submit five copies of any written comments by Friday, January 14. Written comments should make clear reference to Project Number 9418 and should be addressed to James Galloway, Commission Filing Clerk, Public Utility Commission of Texas, 7800 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78757. After all written comments have been received the PUC staff will prepare a written summary of the comments and will prepare a recommendation for consideration by the Commission. A copy of the staff summary and recommendation will be available for review in the PUC Central Records office prior to final consideration by the Commission in open meeting. The PUC staff believes that most of the proposed revisions to the Earnings Reports are relatively minor. However, there are several proposed revisions that may be considered significant. In the opinion of the PUC staff, the significant changes proposed are as follows: 1. Schedules detailing the beginning and average balances for invested capital would be eliminated. Invested capital accounts would be reported on an end-of- period basis only, and the calculation of earned rates of return would likewise be based on an ending balance of invested capital. This change would apply to the Earnings Reports for telephone utilities and electric investor-owned utilities. 2. The tax rates used in the calculation of federal income tax expense would change. The tax rate would change to 35% in the Earnings Report for electric investor-owned utilities and to "the applicable tax rate" in the Earnings Report for telephone utilities. 3. The general question pertaining to expenses for post-retirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB expenses) would be revised. The disclosure of actual cash payments related to OPEB costs would be required for all companies reporting OPEB expenses on an accrual basis in the Earnings Report. This change would affect the Earnings Reports for telephone utilities and electric investor- owned utilities. 4. The general question pertaining to OPEB expenses, as proposed for the Telephone Utility Earnings Report and the Electric Investor-Owned Utility Earnings Report, would be added to the Earnings Report for Electric Cooperatives and River Authorities. 5. A general questions would be added to the Electric Investor-Owned Utility Earnings Report seeking the following data for the reporting period: (a) reconcilable fuel revenues; (b) reconcilable off-system sales revenues; (c) reconcilable purchase power expense; (d) reconcilable fuel expense; (e) reconcilable off-system sales expense; and (f) over/under recovery for the reporting period. 6. A second column of data would be added to Schedule IVa of the Earnings Report for electric investor-owned utilities which would require the disclosure of alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI), where applicable, for each member of an affiliated group that files a consolidated federal tax return.
