Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Revisions to 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 114 and to the State Implementation Plan for the Texas Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission) will offer a public hearing to receive testimony regarding proposed air quality rules and a state implementation plan (SIP) revision resulting from the passage of two bills by the 88th Texas Legislature that impact the Texas vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program. House Bill (HB) 3297 eliminated the mandatory annual vehicle safety inspection program for noncommercial vehicles, and Senate Bill (SB) 2102 extends the initial registration and inspection period for rental vehicles from two years to three years. The hearing is required by Texas Health and Safety Code, §382.017; Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001, Subchapter B; and 40 Code of Federal Regulations §51.102 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning SIPs.
The proposed rulemaking concerns amendments to 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 114, Control of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles, to implement provisions of HB 3297 and SB 2102 and clean-up amendments to remove outdated program-related definitions, references, and requirements ( Project No. 2025-012-114-AI ). The proposed SIP revision would incorporate I/M program amendments from the associated proposed rulemaking ( Project No. 2025-013-SIP-NR ).
The commission will offer a virtual public hearing on these proposals on May 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CDT. The virtual hearing is structured for the receipt of oral comments only. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. Open discussion will not be permitted during the hearing; however, commission staff members will be available to discuss the proposals 30 minutes prior to the hearing. The hearing will be conducted remotely using an internet meeting service. Individuals who plan to attend the hearing must register by May 22, 2025. To register for the hearing, please email SIPRules@tceq.texas.gov and provide the following information: your name, your affiliation, your e-mail address, and whether or not you plan to provide oral comments during the hearing. Instructions for participating in the hearing will be sent on May 27, 2025, to those who registered for the hearing.
The hearing will be conducted in English, and instructions for participating in the hearing will also be provided in Spanish. Persons who do not have internet access or who have special communication or other accommodation needs who plan to attend the hearing should contact Sandy Wong, General Law Division at (512) 239-1802 or 1-800-RELAY-TX (TDD).

Notice and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program
On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of April 14, 2025 to April 17, 2025. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, April 25, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 25, 2025.
Federal License and Permit Activities:
Applicant: Judge Jhiela "Gigi" Poynter
Location: The project site is located at Black Point in Copano Bay, along Copano Bay Drive and adjacent to FM Road 136, near Bayside, Refugio County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 28.077742, -97.221469
Project Description: The applicant proposes constructing a 460 linear-foot limestone breakwater that will protect the boat ramp from future sediment deposition. Additionally, 300 linear feet of oyster reef balls (or comparable material) will be installed to protect nearby marsh from further erosion due to boat traffic. The project will also include planting of 0.21 acres of saltmarsh cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) behind the reef balls to enhance habitat restoration. Together these features will allow for wave attenuation and, along with marsh plantings, will aid in the restoration of wetlands" and the protection of another 0.5 acres of marsh (CBBEP Project #2340- Town of Bayside Shoreline Protection and Public Access, Phase II).
Contractor(s) will utilize the existing road, parking lot, and boat ramp to access the area. A small, shallow drafting barge is expected to be staged in one of the boat ramp stalls so that construction materials (oyster reef balls and limestone) and machinery can be loaded onto the barge. The barge will then be positioned by shallow drafting skiffs near both the proposed breakwater and the oyster habitat installation areas, so that onboard machinery can offload the limestone riprap and oyster reef balls. Only previously cleaned or original material will be used to prevent dirt and other materials from affecting water quality. The fill for the outer breakwaters involves 826 cubic yards (C.Y.) of material for 0.27 acres of permanent impact. The oyster habitat involves 0.07 acres and approximately 153 C.Y. of oyster habitat. The total impact is 0.34 acres resulting from 979 C.Y. of fill. The transplanting of 0.21 acres of saltmarsh cordgrass plugs will occur after the oyster reef balls (or other approved materials) are installed adjacent to the marsh site. Saltmarsh cordgrass will be taken from a roadside ditch along FM 136 and transplanted into the proposed restoration area. During the restoration of the marsh, contractors will utilize a previously disturbed work corridor to prevent impacts from ingress/egress to the restoration area. Temporary board mats will be placed at the edge of the marsh adjacent to the boat ramp for contractors to haul wagons of collected plugs down the existing road to the planting site. This will allow for immediate planting of the plugs without the need to hold them or transport them offsite. These conditions will increase the survival of plugs and decrease disturbance to the adjacent marsh. The planting will occur with one (1) plug on three (3) foot centers. The planting schedule will be coordinated with Texas Parks and Wildlife, with a "Permit to Introduce Fish, Shellfish, or Aquatic Plants into Public Waters". That applicant has proposed no mitigation.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-1993-00855. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
CMP Project No: 25-1178-F1
Applicant: Texas City Terminal Railway Company
Location: The project site is located in the Texas City Industrial Canal/Texas City Turning Basin, within the boundaries of the Port of Texas City, near the City of Texas City, in Galveston County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 29.3639586, -94.894039
Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge approximately 6,481 cubic yards of clean earthen fill into 0.43 acre of open water for land reclamation and the installation of a mechanically driven sheet piling bulkhead.
The purpose of the proposed work is to create additional inland workspace for marine construction tenants that require access to barges for loading and unloading purposes including crane operation, staging areas, etc. The applicant is not proposing mitigation as there are no impacts proposed to special aquatic sites.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2025-00145. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
CMP Project No: 25-1181-F1

In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.
