|
|
Section 5.13, Meetings. |

|
The adoption would add an exception that allows a committee or subcommittee to
meet in closed session for the purpose of developing or reviewing licensing
examination questions or related materials. The proposed rule was published in the
October 11, 2002 issue of the Texas Register (27 TexReg 9542). (Richard Craig,
Ramon Dasch, Debra Barber) (Rule Log No. 2002-054-005-AD) |

|
Item 46. |
Docket No. 2002-1423-RUL. Consideration for publication of, and hearing on,
proposed new Sections 90.50, 90.52, 90.54, 90.56, 90.58, 90.60, 90.62, 90.64, 90.66,
90.68, 90.70, and 90.72 of 30 TAC Chapter 90, Regulatory Flexibility and
Environmental Management Systems. |
|
|
The proposed revisions to Chapter 90 implement Texas Water Code, §5.755, added by
House Bill 2912, 77th Legislature, 2001, which directs the commission to develop an
initial rule for a strategically directed regulatory structure that will provide incentives
for enhanced environmental performance based on a person's compliance history
classification and voluntary measures undertaken by the person to improve
environmental quality. A person may apply for regulatory incentives by meeting the
criteria regarding compliance history and voluntary measures and either the regulatory
flexibility requirements found in Chapter 90, Subchapter B; the requirements for using
an environmental management system found in Chapter 90, Subchapter C; the
requirements for flexible permits under 30 TAC Chapter 116; or the requirements for
programs authorized as innovative by the executive director. A person may not apply
for incentives under the occupational licensing programs or other programs
specifically exempted by statute. These proposed rules also contain provisions that
provide for a single point of contact within the agency for innovative programs; allow
the person or executive director to terminate the regulatory incentives granted under
these rules; and require the applicant to provide notice and allow an opportunity for
public comment. (Chris Brown, David Guarino, Dan Joyner, Kathy Ramirez) (Rule
Log No. 2001-072-090-AD) |

Industrial Solid Waste and Municipal Hazardous Waste. |
|
|
The proposed rulemaking would change the timing of deed recordation and
notification rules for burial of livestock carcasses and exotic livestock carcasses from
agricultural operations to allow immediate burial. The proposed rules would also
allow the burial of small quantities of livestock carcasses and exotic livestock
carcasses on a farm without deed recordation or notice to the commission. (Tom
Weirich, Richard Egan, and Michael Bame) (Rule Log No. 2002-062-335-WS) |
