What is a Notice of Authorization (NOA)?

A NOA is the letter or certificate issued by the TCEQ during the approval process.

How do I access my NOA?

A NOA can be viewed and downloaded from the Submission Log. You will search for the Copy of Record (COR) for a submission and then view all NOA associated to the submission.
  1. Log into STEERS at https://www3.tceq.texas.gov/steers/ using your web browser.
  2. On the STEERS Home Page, press the Submissions button located in the second row of navigation buttons at the top of the page.
  3. Enter search criteria to locate the desired COR. You can search based on program area, report type, ID, account, date range, and/or confirmation number. Press Search to continue or Cancel to return to the STEERS Home page.
  4. The application will display all records that meet your search criteria. You can view a list of NOA by selecting "View NOA" from the dropdown box and pressing Go.
  5. The application will display all NOA for the specific submission. You can view a NOA by clicking on the "View" link.
  6. Print your NOA using the browser print button. Note: If you print a certificate, please set your printer options to landscape.

Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF)

What is PDF

PDF (Portable Document Format) is an electronic portable document file format that has captured all the elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print, or forward to someone else. A PDF document will have a .pdf filename extension (example: filename.pdf).

How to View PDF files

PDF files are created using Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat Capture, or similar products. To view and use the files, you need the free Acrobat Reader, which you can easily download. Just click on this link, follow a few short instructions, and Acrobat Reader will automatically be installed for you. (If this link is unavailable, go to your favorite search engine and search for "Adobe Acrobat Reader".)

After Acrobat Reader is installed, you can view PDF documents. Simply clicking on a link to a PDF document will open it up in your browser. Compared to web pages, PDF documents can take a longer time to download and display. When you click on a link to the document, it may seem like nothing is happening while in fact the document is being downloading behind the browser. Sometimes, especially when it is a large documents, it is a good idea to save the document to your computer first, and then view the document from your computer, as opposed to viewing it online. To do this:
  1. Right-click on the document, choose "Save As", and save it somewhere on your computer (i.e. 'Desktop' or 'My Documents')
  2. Then locate the document on your computer, click or double-click on it, and it will automatically be displayed through Acrobat Reader

Printing PDF Document
