Item 42. Docket No. 1999-0889-RUL. Consideration of the adoption of the repeal of 30 TAC Chapter 328, Subchapter D, Used Oil Filter Collection, Management and Recycling and the adoption of new 30 TAC Chapter 328, Subchapter D, Used Oil Filter Management and Recycling.
If adopted, the rules would implement the provisions of House Bill (H.B.) 2619, 76th Legislature (1999), codified as Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 371, Subchapter E. The rules would reduce registration and reporting requirements from annual to biennial for transporter/transfer facilities, storage facilities, and processors; authorize increased storage time at a storage facility from 90 to 120 days; and authorize the commission to grant two-year variances on storage volume limits and storage time limits. Existing rule requirements not supported by H.B. 2619 would be repealed. The proposal was published in the September 24, 1999 issues of the Texas Register (24 TexReg 8139).
