4. State of Texas Electronic Reporting System (STEERS)
Why use STEERS?
Streamlines the application process
Shortens the process time
Immediate confirmation application has been received
Required in many cases
The use of STEERS for notification, registration, and certification is strongly encouraged, as it streamlines the permitting process for both the customer and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Utilizing STEERS shortens the permitting process and provides the customer immediate confirmation that their application has been received.

22. A Guide to Obtaining Permits by Rule Authorizations in STEERS E-Permitting (RG-531b)
You have now successfully created a STEERS Account and can begin submitting information through STEERS.

23. Permits by Rule (PBR) Air Authorization Permits listed in 30 TAC §106
Most are industry or activity specific
Can use STEERS to submit almost every PBR except air curtain incinerator (ACI) applications.

24. PBR Example §106.433 – Surface Coat Facilities
§ – Dry Abrasive Cleaning
§ Soldering, Brazing, Welding
Example:
Registration is required for § (site approval is required if the painting is conducted outdoors). Registration & site approval is required for § if the blasting is conducted outdoors. Registration is not required for §
If you weld products, sand blast them in a booth, and then paint them in a booth you would register for § , include the information to show you meet the rule, & explain in your cover letter that you conduct blasting indoors per § and welding per § You can begin construction on your site after you submit the forms.
If you weld products, sand blast them outside, and then paint them outside – you would register for both § and § and explain in your cover letter than you weld incompliance with § Site approval is required prior to construction for surface coating outdoors and sand blasting outdoors.

25. Registering vs. Claiming a PBR
Register PBRs that require registration. “the facility shall be registered with the commission using Form PI-7.”
Claim PBRs that do not require registration but must follow the requirements of the PBR rule
Some PBRs may be claimed without registration. However, many PBRs require registration in order to authorize your emissions. If a PBR requires registration, this requirement will be listed as a condition of the rule and will state that “the facility shall be registered with the commission using Form PI-7.”

26. Voluntary Registrations
If PBR does not require registration, you may still voluntarily register the PBR
Fee still required
Some PBRs do not require registration. If the PBR the facility is claiming does not require registration, but the owner/operator wishes to have the TCEQ review and confirm that the facility meets the conditions of the PBR, a facility may voluntarily register the facility. A fee is still required for voluntary registrations, and the owners and operators must keep records according to 30 TAC §106.8 to demonstrate compliance with the PBR and the general requirements in 30 TAC §106.4.

27. APD Memo
Effective Feb. 1, 2018
Requires most PBR and Standard Permit registrations be submitted via STEERS (some exceptions).

30. Expediting an Application
30 TAC Chapter 101
Must use ePermits to request
Surcharge of $500
30 TAC Chapter 101 Subchapter J allows applicants to request the expedited processing of an application filed under 30 TAC Chapters 106, subject to the availability of commission resources for expediting permit applications. To process a permit application as part of the expedited permitting program, the Air Permits Division (APD) requires a surcharge. The purpose of the surcharge is to fund additional resources to expedite the application. Projects submitted through STEERS will be paid at the time of submittal. The surcharge amount for PBRs is a $500 non-refundable, flat surcharge, to be paid at the time the application is submitted in STEERS through the ePay system.

31. Create Fillout Sign Pay **Submit**
Across the top of the screen, the application status bar will guide you through completion of the application from creation, filling the application out, signing the application, paying and finally, submitting. Note that until you submit the application, the agency will not receive or process it. You must pay and then return to the application to submit it before you will receive the confirmation of submission .

32. Create an Application

For example you may only have the authority to create the account but not to sign it. In this case you can give the signature authority such as the owner the access code to sign the application.

 Answering “Yes” means that there are other facilities at the site that have claimed or registered using a PBR. Answering “No” means that no other facilities at the site are claiming or registered using a PBR.
 A major source is defined in 30 TAC Chapter (13).
 Certified registrations are required in the following circumstances:
For projects at existing major sites, to establish emission increases less than any applicable threshold or contemporaneous emission increases for major sources or major modifications under prevention of significant deterioration, nonattainment new source review as specified in § of this title and in Federal Clean Air Act §112(g), §112(j), or the definition of major source in § of this title (relating to General Definitions).
If a project or registration includes control or reductions, limited hours, throughput, and materials or other operational limitations which are less than the potential to emit.
If a project is located at a site subject to NOx cap and trade requirements in Chapter 101, Subchapter H of this title (relating to Emissions Banking and Trading) or relies on controls to comply with any state or federal regulation.
For projects which resolve compliance issues and are the result of a commission or EPA order.
 The facility must meet all applicable eligibility requirements of 30 TAC These requirements may specify design requirements for certain facilities, production or material use limits, and operational restrictions.
These requirements include:
a limit on the amount of annual emissions to less than federal permit major source levels
continuing compliance with all state and federal regulations
the facility must meet all applicable conditions of one or more individual PBRs contained in 30 TAC Chapter 106

Remember that in order to claim a PBR, you must meet all of the conditions exactly as they are written in the rule. Answering “No” prohibits you from claiming this permit. In the PBR Attachments section, you will be asked to upload a map that demonstrates the distance from the facility’s emission release points to the nearest property line and distance from the facility’s emission release point to the nearest off-property structure. This information is required because most PBRs have specific distance limitations.
 **This has changed. You can now upload and mark information as confidential in STEERS.** Confidential Information: Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC) requires us not to disclose any information related to manufacturing processes that is marked Confidential. All confidential information should be separated from the PBR attachments and submitted separately via regular mail to:
