Audit Offer for Flexible Texans

The EPA is offering holders of Texas flexible air permits an opportunity to participate in a voluntary Audit Program that is intended to expeditiously identify the federally-enforceable CAA unit specific emission limitations, operating parameter requirements, and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping (MRR) requirements for determining compliance for all units covered by a facility's flexible permit.

The agency in its Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010, Federal Register, said it believes that the program will generate environmental benefits for the public in Texas as well as a measure of regulatory stability for holders of Texas flexible permits. The final notice makes modifications to the audit program based on comments received during the public comment period. A separate document contains the Agency's Response to Comments (RTC).

Executed audit agreements may be submitted no later than Dec. 27, 2010. Participants who execute an agreement by Nov. 12, 2010 will receive a waiver of the gravity component of any penalties resulting from noncompliance uncovered by the audit.
