The executive director shall provide written notice to the permit holder that the permit is scheduled for review. Such notice must be provided by certified or registered United States mail no less than 180 days prior to the expiration of the permit. The notice must specify the procedure for filing an application for review and the information to be included in the application. Under Texas Civil Statutes, Article 9027, the commission shall exempt a permit holder from any increased fee or other penalty for failure to renew the permit if the individual establishes, to the satisfaction of the commission, that the failure to renew in a timely manner occurred because the individual was on active duty in the United States Armed Forces serving outside the State of Texas.
(a) In order to be granted a permit renewal, the permit holder shall submit information in support of the application which demonstrates that:
(2) the facility meets the requirements of any applicable New Source Performance Standards as listed under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, promulgated by the EPA under the authority of the FCAA, § 111, as amended;
(3) the facility meets the requirements of any applicable emission standard for hazardous air pollutants as listed under Title 40 CFR Part 61, promulgated by EPA under the authority of the FCAA, § 112, as amended; and
(4) the facility meets the requirements of any applicable maximum achievable control technology standard as listed under 40 CFR Part 63, promulgated by the EPA under FCAA, § 112 or as listed under Chapter 113, Subchapter C of this title (relating to National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories (FCAA § 112, 40 CFR 63))
(5) the facility meets the requirements of Subchapter C of this chapter (relating to Hazardous Air Pollutants: Regulations Governing Constructed or Reconstructed Major Sources (FCAA, § 112(g), 40 CFR Part 63)).
(2) the commission shall impose as a condition for renewal only those requirements the executive director determines to be economically reasonable and technically practicable considering the age of the facility and the impact of its emissions on the surrounding area.
(c) A compliance history review must be conducted in accordance with § § 116.121-116.126 of this title (relating to Compliance History). The renewal application must demonstrate that the facility is or has been in substantial compliance with the provisions of the TCAA and the terms of the existing permit. Failure to demonstrate substantial compliance shall result in the renewal not being granted. If it is found that violations in the compliance history constitute a recurring pattern of egregious conduct which demonstrates a consistent disregard for the regulatory process, including failure to make a timely and substantial attempt to correct the violations, the renewal shall be denied. If a contested case hearing has not been called, the executive director must notify the applicant of the intent to recommend denial and state the basis of the findings. The applicant will be given an opportunity to respond to the notice. If the findings reflect a pattern of disregard for applicable regulations which do not warrant denial, additional conditions may be placed in the permit.
(d) An application for renewal must be submitted within 90 days prior to expiration of the permit or the permit will expire. The executive director may extend the time period for submitting an application.
(e) Any permit issued:
(1) before December 1, 1991, is subject for review 15 years after the date of issuance;
(2) on or after December 1, 1991, is subject for review every ten years after the date of issuance.
(3) at nonfederal sources on or after December 1, 1991, may, for cause, contain a provision requiring renewal between five and ten years.
(a) The executive director shall mail a written notice to the permit holder within 30 days after receipt of a complete application. The notice will confirm receipt of the application and shall require the applicant to provide public notice of the application for permit renewal in accordance with Subchapter B of this chapter (relating to New Source Review Permits).
(b) The sign heading required under § 116.133(a)(2) of this title (relating to Sign Posting Requirements) shall read "PROPOSED RENEWAL OF AIR QUALITY PERMIT."
(a) The fee for renewal is based on the total annual allowable emissions from the permitted facility to be renewed, according to the following table.
(b) Fees are due and payable at the time the renewal application is filed. No fee will be accepted before the permit holder has been notified by the commission that the permit is scheduled for review. All permit review fees shall be remitted by check or money order payable to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and mailed to the TNRCC, P.O. Box 13088, MC 214, Austin, Texas 78711-3088. Required fees must be received before the agency will consider an application to be complete.
(a) Renewal of permit. The executive director shall renew a permit and notify the permit holder in writing if it is determined that the facility meets the requirements of this subchapter.
(b) Denial of renewal. Prior to denial, the executive director shall provide notice to the permit holder with a report which describes the basis for denial.
(1) If denial is based on failure to meet the requirements of § 116.311(a) or (b) of this title (relating to Permit Renewal Application), the report shall establish a schedule for compliance with the renewal requirements.
(A) The report shall be forwarded to the permit holder no later than 180 days after the commission receives a completed application.
(B) The permit shall be renewed if the requirements are met according to the schedule specified in the report. The executive director shall notify the permit holder in writing of the permit renewal.
(2) If denial is based on failure to maintain substantial compliance with the TCAA or the terms of the existing permit under § 116.311(c) of this title, the renewal denial shall be final. The executive director shall notify the permit holder in writing of the denial.
(c) Contested case hearing. After failure to satisfy the commission requirements for corrective action by the deadline specified in the executive director's report, the applicant shall show cause in a contested case proceeding why the permit should not expire. The proceeding will be conducted under the APA and Chapters 1, 55, and 80 of this title (relating to Purpose of Rules, General Provisions; Request for Contested Case Hearings; Public Comment; and Contested Case Hearings).
(d) Effective date of existing permit. An existing permit shall remain effective:
(1) until it is renewed;
(2) until the deadline specified in the executive director's report to the permit holder;
(3) during the course of a contested case hearing if the hearing extends beyond the expiration date; or
(4) until a date specified in any commission order entered following a contested case hearing.
