Compliance Advisory Panel (CAP) members advise
federal and state government officials about the effectiveness of
the TCEQ
Small Business Assistance Program, including issues such as
compliance, enforcement, rulemaking, and voluntary efforts.
About the CAP
The CAP is a seven-member panel. Two members are appointed by
the governor to represent the public; two members each are
appointed by the lieutenant governor and speaker of the Texas House
of Representatives to represent small businesses; and one member is
appointed by the TCEQ's chairman.
CAP members' roles include:
- Advise the TCEQ's Small Business Assistance Program on
improving its effectiveness.
- Submit periodic progress reports and recommendations to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's small business
ombudsman.
- Assess compliance and enforcement trends encountered by
specific small business sectors and recommend improvements to the
TCEQ.
- Ensure that information and regulations affecting small
businesses are written in plain language.
The 1990 Federal
Clean Air Act Amendments 
and the
Texas Water Code statutes require each state to provide
small business assistance including a state small business
compliance advisory panel (CAP), an ombudsman, and
a technical assistance program.
For further information, call the TCEQ's Small Business and
Local Government Assistance section at 1-800-447-2827, or send an e-mail
