Rule Proposals

Proposals are rules that have been approved by the commissioners to be published in the Texas Register for public comment.

PROPOSALS are rules that have been approved by the commissioners to be published in the Texas Register for public comment. The public comment period usually lasts for 30 days after the publication date. After the public comment period has closed, staff evaluates all comments and makes appropriate changes to the proposed rule. The draft adoption is then filed with the Chief Clerk and moved to Pending Adoptions.

Proposal Dates	Rule Project Number	Short Title/Description	Proposal (PDF)
Approval Date 04/23/13	2013-001-115-AI	Stage II Decommissioning Rulemaking Given the widespread use of onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR), Stage II control systems now provide increasingly less air pollution reduction beyond what is already achieved by ORVR and therefore are not cost-effective. With the finalization of the EPA rule, TCEQ Office of Air is proposing revisions to the Stage II SIP and rules that would allow existing gasoline dispensing facilities to properly decommission their Stage II equipment after TCEQ rules are revised.
