Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

Title 30, Part 1

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has completed its Rule Review of 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 35, Emergency and Temporary Orders and Permits; Temporary Suspensions or Amendment of Permit Conditions, 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 May 31, 2024, issue of the Texas Register (49 TexReg 3938).

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 35 are required because the rules are needed to implement the commission's authority under Texas Water Code, Chapter 5, Subchapter L, to issue temporary or emergency mandatory, permissive, or prohibitory orders and by those orders to issue temporary permits or temporarily suspend or amend permit conditions.

Public Comment

The public comment period closed on July 1, 2024. 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 35 continue to exist and readopts these sections in accordance with the requirements of TGC, §2001.039.
