Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Revisions to the New Source Review State Implementation Plan; Flexible Permit Program

The EPA is fully approving revisions to the Texas New Source Review (NSR) State Implementation Plan (SIP) to establish the Texas Minor NSR Flexible Permits Program (FPP), submitted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The approval was predicated on the TCEQ meeting its commitment outlined in its letter dated December 9, 2013, to adopt certain minor clarifications to the Flexible Permit Program (FPP) by November 30, 2014. The TCEQ submitted the revised program rules to meet its commitment on July 31, 2014. The EPA is finalizing this action under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
