Title 30, Part 1
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has completed its Rule Review of 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 60, Compliance History, as required by Texas Government Code (TGC), §2001.039. TGC, §2001.039, requires a state agency to review and consider for readoption, readoption with amendments, or repeal each of its rules every four years. TCEQ published its Notice of Intent to Review these rules in the September 8, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 5074).
The review assessed whether the initial reasons for adopting the rules continue to exist and TCEQ has determined that those reasons exist. The rules in Chapter 60 are required because Chapter 60 requires TCEQ to rate the compliance history of every owner or operator of a facility that is regulated under any of these state environmental laws: water-quality laws (Texas Water Code (TWC), Chapter 26); laws for the installation and operation of injection wells (TWC, Chapter 27); Subsurface Area Drip Dispersal Systems (TWC, Chapter 32); the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act (Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), Chapter 361); the Texas Clean Air Act (THSC, Chapter 382); Removal of Convenience Switches (THSC, Chapter 375); and the Texas Radiation Control Act (THSC, Chapter 401).
TWC, §5.753, concerning the Standard for Evaluating Compliance History, authorizes the agency to "develop standards for evaluating and using compliance history that ensure consistency" among regulated entities. Additionally, TWC, §5.754, concerning Classification and Use of Compliance History, authorizes the agency to establish a set of standards for the classification of a person's compliance history, establish methods of assessing the compliance history of regulated entities, and requires the use of compliance history when making decisions regarding the issuance, renewal, amendment, modification, denial, suspension or revocation of a permit, enforcement matters, the use of announced investigations, and participation in innovative programs. Chapter 60 establishes the rules the agency uses to meet these statutory mandates, including the components, formulas, and classifications that are used to measure regulated entities' performance.
Public Comment
The public comment period closed on October 9, 2023. TCEQ did not receive comments on the rules review of this chapter.
As a result of the review, TCEQ finds that the reasons for adopting the rules in 30 TAC Chapter 60 continue to exist and readopts these sections in accordance with the requirements of TGC, §2001.039.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has completed its Rule Review of 30 Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) Chapter 230, Groundwater Availability Certifications for Platting, as required by Texas Government Code, §2001.039. TGC, §2001.039, requires a state agency to review and consider for readoption, readoption with amendments, or repeal each of its rules every four years. TCEQ published its Notice of Intent to Review these rules in the September 8, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 5074).
The review assessed whether the initial reasons for adopting the rules continue to exist, and TCEQ has determined that those reasons exist. The rules in Chapter 230 are required because the rules in Chapter 230 contain the requirements if municipal and county authorities require certification in the plat application that adequate groundwater is available for a proposed subdivision if groundwater under that land is to be the source of the water supply. This chapter is necessary to implement the requirements related to the form and content of a certification of groundwater availability for platting by municipal and county authorities as provided by Texas Local Government Code, §212.0101 and §232.0032. TCEQ has previously recognized that these rules were adopted to protect consumer rights and to provide a tool to aid those municipal and county platting authorities that choose to use the rule to oversee development. When these rules were first adopted, TCEQ responded to public comments and stated that use of these rules was not mandatory unless the platting authority for municipal and county governments require the certification as specified in the Local Government Code. Platting authorities can use these rules to help assure adequate groundwater is available as part of the subdivision platting process.
Public Comment
The public comment period closed on October 9, 2023. TCEQ did not receive comments on the rules review of this chapter.
As a result of the review TCEQ finds that the reasons for adopting the rules in 30 TAC Chapter 230 continue to exist and readopts these sections in accordance with the requirements of TGC §2001.039.

The rules in Chapter 307 are required because the TSWQS establish instream water quality requirements for all surface waters in the state. Almost all water-related program activities in Texas are based on the TSWQS, and these standards affect state, federal, and local programs. TCEQ is directed to establish water quality standards in Texas Water Code, §26.023.
