Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Reasonably Available Control Technology for Volatile Organic Compound Emissions in the Dallas-Fort Worth Ozone Nonattainment Area

Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or ACT), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Texas through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on July 10, 2015. The Texas SIP submission revises rules for control of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to assist the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) moderate nonattainment area (NAA) in attaining the 2008 eight-hour ozone (O 3 ) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The submission includes Wise County, a county added as part of the 2008 ozone moderate NAA area. We are proposing to approve the submitted rules as part of the DFW 2008 ozone SIP and as meeting Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT). We are also proposing to approve negative declarations for certain source categories subject to RACT in the DFW moderate NAA.
