Item 53. Docket No. 1999-0620-RUL.

The changes would set emission limits, a compliance schedule, and requirements for operating, testing, recordkeeping and reporting for stationary gas-fired, lean-burn engines in the Beaumont/Port Arthur (BPA) ozone nonattainment area. The proposed changes would also eliminate the requirement to operate wood-fired boilers with flue gas sensor-based trim, add an option to monitor exhaust flow instead of fuel flow, and clarify several requirements and rule references applicable to major existing sources of nitrogen oxides in the BPA, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Houston/Galveston ozone nonattainment areas.

Item 58. Docket No. 1999-0549-RUL.

The proposal changes the title of Chapter 101 to "General Air Quality Rules." The amendments to Section 101.1 remove definitions duplicated in other chapters of 30 TAC, add definitions that are used in multiple chapters, and amend certain definitions; the amendments to Section 101.2 authorize the executive director to act on petitions for single property designation; the amendments to Section 101.10 clarify the existing statutory authority of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission under Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 382.014, concerning Emission Inventory; and the amendments to Section 101.30 relocate certain definitions to Section 101.1 because the definitions are used in multiple chapters. The new Section 101.28 allows compliance with a single set of equivalent or more stringent monitoring and testing requirements for holders of federal operating permits with multiple requirements. The proposed amendments to §§101.1, 101.10, and 101.30, and the new 101.28 are amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). (Beecher Cameron) (Rule Log No. 99017-101-AI)
