EPA Approves Texas Project Emissions Rules
If your company builds or modifies large industrial projects in Texas, the EPA approved portions of a Texas plan submitted on July 9, 2021 that update Texas Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) permitting programs to add Federal New Source Review (NSR) rules for Project Emissions Accounting (PEA). This change updates how project emissions are counted in Texas permitting and applies to new or modified major sources covered by PSD and NNSR.
