Code Chapter 101, General Air Quality Rules, Subchapter K, Failure to Attain Fee for the 2008 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard and corresponding revisions to the State Implementation Plan.

The penalty fee is applicable to major stationary sources of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides located in an ozone nonattainment area classified as severe or extreme if that area fails to attain the ozone NAAQS by the applicable attainment date. The rulemaking includes applicability requirements cessation of the program exemptions to the program baseline amount determination options fee calculation, assessment, and payment, and compliance schedules, among other requirements. The proposed rules were published in the May 16, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 2925).

La reglamentación propuesta implementaría el Proyecto de Ley del Senado (SB) 616 y el SB 1061 de la 89ª Legislatura de Texas, Sesión Regular, 2025. SB 616 permitiría que los pozos de inyección atraviesen el acuífero Edwards si se usan para proyectos de almacenamiento y recuperación de acuíferos ubicados al este de la carretera interestatal 35 en el condado de Williamson o en el condado de Medina. SB 1061 eliminaría la oportunidad de audiencias de casos impugnados para enmendar las autorizaciones de áreas de producción de Clase III, siempre que se cumplan ciertas condiciones, y también ordenaría a TCEQ que priorice la conservación de los suministros regionales de agua subterránea al revisar una solicitud para enmendar un valor de la tabla de restauración.
