EPA proposes letting states set public notice and protest rules for the minor-source air permits Texas data centers use; comments close Aug 21

EPA's proposed minor-source rule would let TCEQ decide how much notice and protest opportunity attaches to the air permits Texas data centers use for diesel generators and certain gas turbines. The virtual hearing is July 22 and written comments close Aug 21, though any TCEQ rollback would still require a separate state rulemaking with its own public input.
