FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Appoints Ryan & Company Senior Manager Greg Odell
to PEL Advisory Group.
Dallas, Texas -- Ryan & Company, the leading tax services firm in North America, with the
largest transaction tax practice in the United States and Canada, is proud to announce that Senior
Manager Greg Odell has been named to the Predetermined Equipment List (PEL) Advisory Group of the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Texas House Bill 3732, 80th Legislature, requires the TCEQ to adopt a non-exclusive list of pollution
control property, which outlines 17 specific items that must be on the list and an 18th item that covers
a broad range of pollution control property, and review the adopted list at least once every three years.
The PEL Advisory Group assists TCEQ staff in reviewing the existing predetermined equipment list, which is
part of the Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Program.
“We are pleased that the TCEQ has appointed Greg to the PEL Advisory Group,” said G. Brint Ryan, Managing
Principal of Ryan & Company. “His in-depth knowledge and expertise in the area of tax credits for pollution
control property will be of great benefit to the Commission.”
“These pollution control requirements are beneficial to helping improve the environment,” said Odell.
“However, they can be extremely complex to administer, and many companies miss opportunities to take
advantage of the exemptions they are entitled to. I look forward to helping corporations understand and
capitalize on the opportunities for substantial savings through the Tax Relief for Pollution Control
Program,” he added.
