IF YOU ARE A MUNICIPALITY OR OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITY:
The regulation that controls who may sign an NOI or similar form is 30 Texas Administrative Code §305.44(a)(3) (see below). According to
this code provision, only a ranking elected official or principal executive officer may sign an NOI or similar form. Persons such as the City Mayor or
County Commissioner will be considered ranking elected officials. In order to identify the principal executive officer of your government entity, it may
be beneficial to consult your city charter, county or city ordinances, or the Texas statute(s) under which your government entity was formed. An NOI or
TCEQ-20022 Instructions (03/05/2008) Page 6
similar document that is signed by a government official who is not a ranking elected official or principal executive officer does not conform to
§305.44(a)(3). The signatory requirement may not be delegated to a government representative other than those identified in the regulation. By signing
the NOI or similar form, you are certifying that you are either a ranking elected official or principal executive officer as required by the administrative
code. Documentation demonstrating your position as a ranking elected official or principal executive officer may be requested by the TCEQ.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning the signatory requirements discussed above, please contact the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality’s Environmental Law Division at 512/239-0600.
30 Texas Administrative Code
§305.44. Signatories to Applications.
(a) All applications shall be signed as follows.
(1) For a corporation, the application shall be signed by a responsible corporate officer. For purposes of this paragraph, a responsible
corporate officer means a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other
person who performs similar policy or decision-making functions for the corporation; or the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or
operating facilities employing more than 250 persons or having gross annual sales or expenditures exceeding $25 million (in second-quarter 1980
dollars), if authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures. Corporate procedures
governing authority to sign permit or post-closure order applications may provide for assignment or delegation to applicable corporate positions rather
than to specific individuals.
(2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship, the application shall be signed by a general partner or the proprietor, respectively.
(3) For a municipality, state, federal, or other public agency, the application shall be signed by either a principal executive officer or a
ranking elected official. For purposes of this paragraph, a principal executive officer of a federal agency includes the chief executive officer of the
agency, or a senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., regional
administrator of the EPA).
