Overview EPA/TCEQ agreement Timeline New procedure
Incorporation by Reference (IBR) EPA wants Title V permits to include: NSR emission limit Monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting Major NSR Summary Table
AIR CONTAMINANTS DATA Emission Point No. (1) Source Name (2) Air Contaminant Name (3) Emission Rates * lb/hrTPY** AIR CONTAMINANTS DATA Emission Point No. (1) Source Name (2) Air Contaminant Name (3) Emission Rates * Monitoring and Testing Requirements Recordkeeping Requirements Reporting Requirements lb/hrTPY**Special Condition Special Condition Special Condition Major NSR Summary Table Current MAERT Table Headings
Major NSR Summary Table Three additional columns added to NSR permit MAERT Monitoring/testing, recordkeeping, and reporting Applicant will fill in table
Major NSR Summary Table (cont.) All EPNs from MAERT must be included Include permit issuance date in header Include all footnotes from MAERT Include all PSD and NNSR permit numbers
Major NSR Summary Table (cont.) Submitted tables will be reviewed by APD staff Table will be added to Appendix B of the Title V permit with a copy of the PSD/NNSR permit conditions and MAERT
Timeline 14 pending applications with IBR objections Proposal - all initial, renewal, and significant revision applications received after October 1, 2012
Timeline (cont.) Pending applications if no PN by October 1 All permits updated within five years Applicants notified in renewal notice

Common Errors Include federal applicability conditions (NSPS, NESHAP, MACT) Dont need to include paragraph designations or text with condition number Include stack testing condition in all three columns, not just in Monitoring/Testing Include stack test condition, even if testing is complete
Common Errors (cont.) Watch for implied recordkeeping – if you have to report or notify regarding data, you have to record the data, even if records arent mentioned Watch for indirect monitoring or recordkeeping for a source
Example Condition requires annual leak checking of tank cars Basis for collection efficiency Affects emission rate for loading rack and loading fugitives
Example (cont.) Indirect testing of loading rack Include in the Monitoring/Testing and Recordkeeping columns for the loading rack
