The adoption will implement House Bill 2912, Section 1.20, 77th Legislature, 2001,
which amends Tex. Water Code, Section 5.228 by including the categories of
contested case hearings concerning permitting matters in which the executive director
can and cannot participate as well as the factors which the executive director must
consider when deciding whether to participate in permitting matters not expressly
specified in the rule. These rules also will prohibit the executive director from
helping an applicant meet its burden of proof unless the applicant fits a category that
will make it eligible for such assistance. Finally, the adoption also includes
corresponding and clarifying changes to the commission's procedural rules to be
consistent with Section 80.108. The proposed rules were published in the August 24,
2001 issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 6239). (Kathy Ramirez) (Rule Log No.

revisions regarding the testing network design; emissions test fees; incentives to
inspection stations for early participation in the I/M program; equipment
specifications; and portions of House Bill 2134, 77th Legislature, 2001, related to

Docket No. 2001-0882-RUL. Consideration for adoption of the following new

Permit Amendments. The new section would implement the provisions of House Bill
2518, enacted by the 77th Texas Legislature, concerning public notice requirements
for applications for amendments to air quality permits and would establish criteria to
govern whether the application for amendment is subject to public notice.
Specifically, the new section would establish emission rates for total emissions
increases from all facilities authorized under the amended permit which would trigger
public notice requirements if exceeded. These are the rates that are significant for
public notice for agricultural facilities, or de minimis for public notice for all other
facilities. The proposal was published in the August 24, 2001 issue of the Texas
Register (26 TexReg 6233). (David Schanbacher/Lisa McClain/Ray Austin) (Rule
