Public Notice Requirements for Air Permit Applications

Air Permits Division (APD) staff will contact the applicant when public notice is required. The public notice package will be sent to the applicant providing detailed information about the notice process. It will include the newspaper publication example to publish, sign posting example (if applicable), checklist, instructions and additional forms. Do not develop your own version of the public notice package.

Public notice requirements for NSR permits are governed by 30 TAC Chapters 39 116 122

The applicant should ensure the information in the application package is current and accurate. Public notice packages are created using this information. If the information is incorrect then re-notice may be required which will incur more costs by the applicant and delay application processing.

The public notice package provided by the agency includes detailed instructions so the applicants can ensure that they meet all rule and statutory requirements. All public notices should be checked for common errors
