Every fiscal year (September–August) the TCEQ must detail
requirements for compliance with standards of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency on the TCEQ’s handling of data
collected for reporting to the National Emission Inventory. The
document is called Quality Assurance Project Plan: National
Emissions Inventory (NEI) Emissions Reporting, otherwise known
as the NEI QAPP. It describes how the agency collects
emission data along with details of the corresponding criteria for
ensuring data quality. In addition, the NEI QAPP gives a
detailed emissions-inventory checklist for holders of permits that
reference the QAPP. It also details what data to submit to the
agency for compliance and additional emission inventory factors and
related information. If you need any of the attachments, you may
contact the emissions inventory specialist at 512/239-1536.
