Request for Proposals (RFP)
The Children's Trust Fund of Texas, a state agency, (hereinafter referred
to as CTF) is currently seeking proposals to implement programs to prevent
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) in Texas.
Shaken Baby Syndrome is a serious form of Abusive Head Trauma that occurs
when a child is shaken by the arms, legs, or shoulders with or without impact
of the head against either a soft or hard surface. Abusive Head Trauma is
the leading cause of death and disability among abused infants and children.
As the child is shaken back and forth in a whiplash motion, the undeveloped
brain bumps back and forth inside the skull. This trauma can cause bleeding
over the brain and/or within the eyes and brain swelling, which results in
a traumatic brain injury. There may be no outward signs of abuse. SBS can
result in brain damage, blindness, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, severe learning
disabilities, seizures, permanent vegetative state, and death.
Shaken Baby Syndrome often occurs in combination with other abuse against
a child. One of the major triggers for the shaking abuse of a child is the
frustration often generated by a baby's continuous crying or irritability.
Potty training is another source of aggravation for caretakers that lead to
the shaking of a child. All caregivers must have access to education on the
dangers of shaking children. Taking care of a child is a big responsibility.
It can also be frustrating, especially when a baby will not stop crying. Educating
caregivers on what to do when a child is crying, helping them to understand
normal stages of child development, and providing tips on how to maintain
control of emotions are an important part of preventing SBS.
Deadline:
Deadline for submission of proposals
is
September 30, 1999 at 5:00 PM.
Contract Period:

* was created by the constitution or statute of this state and
* has statewide jurisdiction.
Special consideration will be given to youth organizations.
Amount of Contract Awards:

of school staff, parents, and community and business leaders in order that
they understand and implement the: (a) academic standards and practices necessary
for high academic achievement; (b) appropriate strategies to deregulate and
restructure the school to improve student achievement; and (c) effective strategies
to organize parents and community leaders into a large, nonpartisan constituency
that will hold the school and the school district accountable for achieving

program. Applicants that have previously received grants from TEA to conduct
special projects must have a positive record in successfully managing the
program(s) in order to be considered for funding. All requirements of this
RFA must be addressed. Each application will be reviewed to determine the
capability of the school to implement a valid and cohesive local grant program

and business leaders in order that they understand and implement academic
standards and practices necessary for high academic achievement, appropriate
strategies to deregulate and restructure the school in order to improve student
achievement, and effective strategies to organize parents and community leaders
into a large, nonpartisan constituency that will hold the school and school
district accountable for achieving high academic standards.

THE CITY OF ROBERT LEE (ROBERT LEE WATERWORKS), P.O. Box 26, 6 East 7th
Street, Robert Lee, Texas 76945 has applied to the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) to amend Certificate of Adjudication Number
14-1023. Certificate of Adjudication 14-1023 currently includes authorization
for the City of Robert Lee (Robert Lee Waterworks) to divert and use not to
exceed 42 acre-feet of water per annum for municipal purposes from a water
well located in the old river channel which taps the underflow of the Colorado
River and from a specific point on the North Bank of the Colorado River downstream
of E. V. Spence Reservoir in Coke County, Texas at a maximum rate of diversion
of 0.17 cfs (78 gpm). In addition, the City of Robert Lee has a Water Supply
Contract with the Colorado River Municipal Water District (TNRCC Contract
Number 426) for diversion and use of a maximum of 50 acre-feet of water per
year for municipal purposes from E. V. Spence Reservoir on the Colorado River
in Coke County at a maximum diversion rate of 0.74 cfs (330 gpm). During drought
conditions, the level of E. V. Spence Reservoir drops to the point that the
City of Robert Lee cannot divert water from the lake and Robert Lee Waterworks
does not have facilities to divert water from the diversion point included
in Certificate Number 14-1023. The City of Robert Lee (Robert Lee Waterworks)
seeks to amend Certificate Number 14-1023 by adding a diversion point on Messbox
Creek, tributary of the Colorado River, Coke County, Texas. Water from the
Colorado River is backed up into Messbox Creek. This point is approximately
400 feet downstream of the dam for the E. V. Spence Reservoir, 1 mile West
Northwest of the Coke County Courthouse, and is S 21½W, 1038 feet from
the East Corner of the Samuel A. Maverick Original Survey Number 985, Abstract
Number 541, Coke County, Texas also being 31.593½N Latitude and 100.33½W
Longitude. The City of Robert Lee is also requesting authorization to divert
their contract water at this point. The "certificate" and contract water would
be diverted at a maximum rate of 0.74 cfs (330 gpm). The requested diversion
point is on land the applicant does not own, but the landowners have consented
to the granting of this amendment. Fees have been paid and no other changes
are requested. This notice is being sent to you as owner of one of two water
rights with a diversion point on the Colorado River between the existing diversion
point and the requested additional diversion point. Any proposed amendment
to the application will include a condition that it be junior in priority
to the two interjacent water rights in the Colorado River Watershed and will
also be subject to the continuing consent of the owners of the property where
the new diversion point is located.
Written public comments and requests for a public meeting should be submitted
to the Office of Chief Clerk, at the address provided in the information section

PUBLIC UTILITY BOARD OF BROWNSVILLE, 1425 Robinhood Drive, Brownsville,
Texas 78520 has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC) to amend Permit Number 1838, as amended. Permit Number 1838A authorizes
the applicant to divert and use not to exceed 40,000 acre-feet of water per
year directly from the Rio Grande for municipal and industrial use in Cameron
County, Texas. The time priority for the impoundment of water in off-channel
reservoirs and use of water for industrial and municipal purposes is June
22, 1956. The applicant seeks to amend Permit Number 1838, as amended, by
adding a third diversion point, at the current diversion point/facilities
for the Cameron County WCID #6 pumping station, upstream of existing diversion
points authorized pursuant to Permit Number 1838A in Cameron County, Texas.
The Cameron County WCID #6 will divert the water in accordance with a memorandum
of understanding. This amendment will be junior to all water rights with diversion
points in the Rio Grande Basin between the original diversion point and the
requested upstream diversion point. It will retain its original priority with
respect to all other water rights in the Rio Grande Basin. No other changes
are requested. Fees have been paid. This notice is being sent to you as owner
of one of 13 water right holders with a diversion point on the Rio Grande
between the existing diversion points and the requested additional diversion
point. Any proposed amendment for the application by the Executive Director
will include a condition that it be junior in priority to these 13 water rights
on the river.

of public interest in the application.
The TNRCC may grant a contested case hearing on this application if a written
hearing request is filed by August 12, 1999. The Executive Director can consider
approval of the application unless a written request for a contested case
hearing is filed by August 12, 1999. To request a contested case hearing,

Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
Filed: August 3, 1999
GUADALUPE-BLANCO RIVER AUTHORITY, 933 East Court Street, Seguin, Texas
78155, has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to
amend Certificate of Adjudication Number 18-2074, as amended, pursuant to
§11.122 and §11.085 of the Texas Water Code, and Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission Rules 30 TAC §§295.1, et seq. Under Certificate
of Adjudication Number 18-2074, as amended (the Canyon Certificate), the Guadalupe-Blanco
River Authority (GBRA) has the right to maintain a dam and reservoir on the
Guadalupe River (Canyon Reservoir), impound water therein, and divert and
use from the conservation storage in the reservoir, not to exceed 62,900 acre-feet
of water in any year, provided that diversions may not exceed an average of
50,000 acre-feet of water per year over any five consecutive calendar year
period (250,000 acre-feet of water during any five consecutive calendar year
period) for municipal, domestic, industrial, irrigation, and recreation purposes.
In the most recent amendment to the Canyon Certificate, GBRA was authorized
to use the water anywhere within GBRA's ten-county statutory district, which
consists of Hays, Comal, Guadalupe, Caldwell, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria,
Kendall, Refugio, and Calhoun Counties. Portions of this ten-county district
lie outside the Guadalupe River Basin, within the San Antonio, Colorado, and
Lavaca River Basins, and the Colorado-Lavaca, Lavaca-Guadalupe, and San Antonio-Nueces
Coastal Basins. The priority date of GBRA's right to impound water in Canyon
Reservoir and to divert and use water therefrom for municipal, domestic, industrial
irrigation, and recreation purposes anywhere within GBRA's ten-county statutory
district is March 19, 1956. Because GBRA did not, in its most recent application
to amend the Canyon Certificate, request deletion of the separate and duplicative
transbasin diversion authorizations that existed prior to the granting of
that application, those authorizations and their stated priority dates also
remain, as follows: (1) The time priorities of GBRA's right to transfer 7,649
acre-feet of water per year for industrial purposes from the Guadalupe River
Basin for use in the Lavaca-Guadalupe Coastal Basin, are as follows: (a) October
14, 1980, as to 6,075 acre-feet of water per year; (b) February 22, 1983,
as to 374 acre-feet of water per year; (c) November 15, 1985, as to 1,200
acre-feet of water per year; and (2) The time priority of GBRA's right to
transfer 900 acre-feet of water per year for municipal purposes from the Guadalupe
River Basin for use in the San Antonio River Basin is November 15, 1985. By
this application, and based, in part, on GBRA's continued subordination of
downstream senior hydroelectric water rights, the applicant requests that
the Commission amend the Canyon Certificate as follows: (1) authorize GBRA
to divert and use an average of 90,000 acre-feet of water per year over any
five consecutive year period (450,000 acre-feet of water during any five consecutive
calendar year period) from Canyon Reservoir, and delete the diversion and
use limitation of 62,900 acre-feet of water in any year; (2) authorize the
use of all water authorized to be diverted and used under the Canyon Certificate
for municipal, domestic, industrial, irrigation and recreation purposes; (3)
authorize the use of all water authorized to be diverted and used under the
Canyon Certificate anywhere within GBRA's ten-county statutory district; (4)
authorize the use, from and out of the water authorized to be diverted and
used under the Canyon Certificate, of an average of 11,000 acre-feet of water
per year (55,000 acre-feet of water during any five consecutive calendar-year
period) from Canyon Reservoir anywhere outside GBRA's ten-county statutory
district within the Guadalupe, San Antonio, Colorado, and Lavaca River Basins,
and the Colorado-Lavaca, Lavaca-Guadalupe, and San Antonio-Nueces Coastal
Basins; (5) delete the separate and duplicative transbasin diversion authorizations
and their stated priority dates that existed prior to the granting of GBRA's
most recent amendment to the Canyon Certificate, set forth above; and (6)
confirm, expressly on the face of the amendment requested by this application,
that the priority dates for the Canyon Certificate, as so amended, are as
follows: (a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b), below, the time priority
of all rights under the Canyon Certificate as hereby amended is March 19,
1956. The time priority applies when inflows are impounded in Canyon Reservoir.
(b) The time priority for impoundment of inflows in Canyon Reservoir shall
be June 14, 1999 during times when the Reservoir would have been full if diversions
of water were limited to an average of 50,000 acre-feet per year. No other
changes are requested.

Project Number: Application of U. S. Dial Tone, Inc. for Suspension or

U.S. Dial Tone states it currently provides telephone service strictly as
a reseller of pre-paid basic local exchange service and long distance service
as an integrated package. As a provider of pre-paid local service, U.S. Dial
Tone asserts it has neither the functional capability nor the economic ability
to comply with P.U.C. Substantive Rule §26.275. U.S. Dial Tone's restrictions
regarding its provision of toll service permits the company to provide local
exchange service and a discrete number of long distance minutes as a single,
integrated package and it does not permit customers to choose any other service
offerings.
