Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Revisions to Chapter 116 Which Relate to the Permit Renewal Application and Permit Renewal Submittal

EPA is taking a direct final action to approve revisions to the applicable State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State of Texas which relate to the Permit Renewal Application and Permit Renewal Submittal regulations. These portions of the SIP revisions approved today would address requirements related to the timeline for the submittal of an application for permit renewal. EPA finds that these changes to the Texas SIP comply with the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act or CAA) and EPA regulations, are consistent with EPA policies, and will improve air quality. This action is being proposed under section 110 and parts C and D of the Act.
