Notice of Request for Public Comments Regarding the Women, Infants, and Children Policy and Procedure Manual Amendments

The Texas Department of Health (department) proposes amendments to the Policy and Procedure Manual for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) which is adopted by reference in 25 TAC §31.1 The department proposes this action (1) to comply with the United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service issuance of a final rule governing the WIC Program to mandate uniform sanctions across State WIC agencies for the most serious vendor violations. The implementation of these mandatory sanctions is intended to curb vendor-related fraud and abuse in the WIC Program and to promote WIC and Food Stamp Program (FSP) coordination in the disqualification of vendors and retailers who violate program rules. This final rule also implements a mandate of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, which requires the disqualification of WIC vendors who are disqualified from the FSP (reference 7 CFR Part 246); and (2) to set out the penalties for less serious contract/policy violations where discretion has been allowed the state by the United States Department of Agriculture.

All vendors currently under contract with the department as authorized locations to redeem WIC food vouchers will receive a written copy by mail of the proposed policy and procedure changes. Other interested parties may request a copy by contacting Ray Krzesniak, Director, WIC Vendor Operations Division, Bureau of Nutrition Services, Texas Department of Health, 1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas, 78756, or by phone at (512) 406-0777, facsimile (512) 406-0703, or by E-mail: ray.krzesniak@tdh.state.tx.us.

E.I DU PONT DE NEMOURS & COMPANY, INC. (Beaumont Works Facility), located at State Highway 347 on the west bank of the Neches River, six miles southeast of Beaumont on approximately 750 acres in Nederland, Jefferson County, Texas, has applied for renewal of hazardous waste permit (Permit Number HW-50166) and renewal of compliance plan (Compliance Plan Number CP-50166). The permit would authorize the continued post-closure care for five surface impoundments (Permit Unit Numbers 1-5). The compliance plan renewal will require the permittee to continue to monitor the concentrations of hazardous constituents in groundwater and remediate ground-water quality to specific standards.

The applicant currently operates an electrolytic refinery for the production of copper and associated by-products. The disposal well is used to dispose of treated hazardous and nonhazardous wastes generated on-site. WDW-324 was initially put in service in 1997. The permitted injection zone is at the well log depths of 2,920 to 6,700 feet. The authorized injection interval is at the well log depths of 4,050 to 5,100 feet. The operating surface injection pressure shall not exceed 350 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The maximum injection rate shall not exceed 300 gallons per minute (gpm) for the facility.

The permit would authorize post-closure care for a closed hazardous/municipal landfill. Once the final permit and compliance plan decisions of the TNRCC and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are effective regarding this facility, they will implement the requirements of RCRA as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). The final permit and compliance plan decision will also implement the federally authorized State requirements. The TNRCC and EPA have entered into a joint permitting agreement whereby permits will be issued in Texas in accordance with the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Texas Health and Safety Code Ann., Chapter 361 and RCRA, as amended. In order for the applicant to have a fully effective RCRA permit, both the TNRCC and EPA must issue the permit. All permit provisions are fully enforceable under State and Federal law.

Notice of Public Hearing

Notice is hereby given that under the requirements of Texas Health and Safety Code, §382.017 and Texas Government Code, Subchapter B, Chapter 2001, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (commission) will conduct a public hearing to receive testimony concerning the repeal of 30 TAC Chapter 119, concerning Control of Air Pollution from Carbon Monoxide

This action constitutes the commission's review of the rules contained in Chapter 119 in accordance with the General Appropriations Act, Article IX, §167, 75th Legislature, 1997. Chapter 119 requires the incineration of vent gas streams from blast furnaces, iron cupolas, and catalyst regeneration units for the purpose of controlling emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), and applies only in Aransas, Bexar, Brazoria, Calhoun, Dallas, El Paso, Galveston, Harris, Jefferson, Matagorda, Montgomery, Nueces, Orange, San Patricio, Travis, Victoria, Hardin, and Tarrant Counties.

Through a search of the emission inventory database, the commission has determined that, with two exceptions, sources that are the subject of this chapter are either under permit or, in the case of blast furnaces, no longer in existence. The first of these exceptions is a single iron cupola in Harris County that emits approximately 15 tons of CO per year, an amount too insignificant to require incineration to protect public health from air pollution. The other unpermitted source is a petrochemical plant in Brazoria County whose maximum CO concentrations are according to agency modeling data below any significant monitoring or health effects threshold. The commission therefore proposes the repeal of Chapter 119.

A public hearing on the proposal will be held July 26, 1999, at 2:00 p.m. in Room 5108 of Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission Building F, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin. The hearing will be structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. There will be no open discussion during the hearing; however, an agency staff member will be available to discuss the proposal 30 minutes prior to the hearing and answer questions before and after the hearing.

Comments may be submitted to Casey Vise, MC 205, Office of Environmental Policy, Analysis, and Assessment, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, or faxed to (512) 239-4808. Comments must be received by 5:00 p.m., August 2, 1999, and should reference Rule Log Number 98035-119-AI. For further information, please contact Beecher Cameron, of the Policy and Regulations Division, at (512) 239-1495.

Persons with disabilities who have special communication or other accommodation needs who are planning to attend the hearing should contact the agency at (512) 239-4900. Requests should be made as far in advance as possible.

Public Hearing Notice

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the requirements of the Texas Water Code, §5.103 and §5.105, which provide the commission with the authority to adopt any rules necessary to carry out its powers and duties under the provisions of the Texas Water Code or other laws of this state; Texas Water Code, §5.122, which provides the commission with the authority to delegate to the executive director the commission's authority to act on certain matters; Texas Health and Safety Code, Solid Waste Disposal Act, §361.017 and §361.024, which authorize the commission to regulate industrial solid waste and municipal hazardous waste and to adopt rules consistent with the general intent and purposes of the Act; and General Appropriations Act, Article IX, §167, 75th Legislature, 1997. The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (commission) will conduct a public hearing to receive testimony regarding rule for Voluntary Cleanup Program.

The General Appropriations Act, Article IX, §167, requires state agencies to review and consider for readoption rules adopted under the Administrative Procedure Act. The review must include, at a minimum, an assessment that the reason for the rules continues to exist. The commission has reviewed Chapter 333 and determined that the reason for their adoption continues to exist.

These rules are necessary to effectively administer, manage, and implement the Brownfields Initiatives (Subchapter A - Voluntary Cleanup Programs and Subchapter B - Innocent Owner/Operator Certification) in the state. These rules provide for the implementation and clarification of requirements set forth in the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) and Innocent Owner/Operator Program (IOP) laws. The VCP rules establish procedures for the VCP including eligibility, public participation, partial cleanups, and effects on other program areas, and the IOP rules establish procedures for the IOP including eligibility, application requirements, information provided by adjacent owners/operators, withdrawal/denial of a certificate, and access.

The commission believes the rules affecting the VCP and IOP meet the commission's regulatory reform goals of clear succinct standards that establish appropriate administrative procedures, important flexibility, and necessary interpretation of statutory requirements. Therefore, the commission is not proposing any amendments to Chapter 333 as part of this rules review. In a separate action, however, the commission notes that amendments to Chapter 333, Subchapter A, were proposed on March 26, 1999 (24 TexReg 2186) to conform with the proposed Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP). If adopted, the proposed TRRP rule would guide the investigation, development of cleanup levels, and response actions for most remediations conducted under the agency's Office of Waste Management. The comment period for the proposed amendments to Chapter 333, Subchapter A, closed May 11, 1999.

A public hearing on this proposal will be held on July 13, 1999, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 254S of Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Building E, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin. The hearing is structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. Open discussion will not occur during the hearing; however, an agency staff member will be available to discuss the proposal 30 minutes prior to the hearing and will answer questions before and after the hearing.

Written comments should be mailed to Ms. Bettie Bell, Office of Environmental Policy, Analysis, and Assessment, MC 205, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, or faxed to (512) 239-4808. Comments must be received by 5:00 p.m., August 2, 1999, and should reference Rule Log Number 99005-333-WS. For further information on the proposed review, please contact Pharr Andrews, Regulations Development Section, at (512) 239-6124 or Charles Epperson, Voluntary Cleanup Program at (512) 239-2498. Copies of the proposed review can be obtained via the commission's Web Site at www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/oprd/rules/propadop.html, or by calling (512) 239-0028.

Future land use determination will subsequently impact the remedial investigation and remedial action for the site. Consequently, the TNRCC will hold a public meeting to obtain comments on the proposed future land use and take comments on the facility before completing the remedial investigation and evaluating remedial actions for the site. The public meeting will be held in Council Chambers of Dumas City Hall located at 124 West 6th in Dumas, Texas on Thursday, August 5, 1999, beginning at 7:00 P.M. This public meeting will not be a contested case hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001). After the subject meeting is held and future land use has been determined, a human health risk assessment, ecological risk assessment, and a feasibility study, or similar study, will be performed to evaluate various remedial action proposals. The TNRCC will then propose a selected remedy and hold another public meeting pursuant to the Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 361.187.

In accordance with the Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 361.1855, the TNRCC shall publish notice of the public meeting in the Texas Register and in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the facility is located at least 31 days before the date of the public meeting.

The American Zinc Site was originally proposed to be placed on the State Superfund list in the October 15, 1993, issue of Texas Register (18 TexReg 7201). The site was operated as a zinc smelter from the late 1930's until the late 1960's or 1970's, generating heavy metal waste typical to that process. During World War II and for the major part of its lifetime, the smelting plant was the source of zinc in the United States' defense program. The abandoned smelting plant has been decommissioned since 1957.

The TNRCC is proposing a non-residential (industrial) future land use determination for consideration in implementing the human health risk , ecological risk assessment and feasibility study.

All persons desiring to make comments may do so prior to or at the public meeting. All comments submitted prior to the public meeting should be sent in writing to Mr. Michael Bame, Remediation Division, MC-143, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087.

Request for Comments on a Renewable Energy Goal and Notice of Workshop

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) has initiated Project Number 20944 to adopt a rule relating to a statewide goal for renewable energy in response to new legislation that includes such a goal, Texas Utilities Code §39.904. This section was enacted in Senate Bill 7, 76th Legislature, Regular Session (1999), effective September 1, 1999. The commission is directed to adopt rules to implement this section by January 1, 2000. The commission seeks comments and information from interested parties in response to any or all of the following questions.

Scope of Rule

1. (a) Based on the terms of §39.904, it appears that the rule should address performance measures for renewable energy resources, a credit trading program, the allocation of the statewide goal for renewable energy resources among retail electric providers and those municipally owned utilities and electric cooperatives that offer customer choice, and the administration of the program, including penalties for failure to meet the goals. Are there other broad areas that the rule should address to implement §39.904?

(b) The legislative intent embodied in §39.904 is to create a program that results in the addition of 2,000 MW of new renewable capacity by 2009. Given this intent, how should existing renewable capacity be treated in the context of the trading program? If existing capacity is excluded from the trading program, what is the proper distinction between existing versus new renewable capacity?

Trading of Credits

2. To meet goals relating to new renewable generating capacity in an economical and efficient manner, the Commission has identified two options for a renewable credit trading program. One option is based on trading credits in capacity that is connected to the electric grid and meets certain performance standards. A second option is based on trading credits in electric energy generated by a facility. Please discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each approach or discuss another alternative that would meet the intent of §39.904. Please include the following in your discussion:

(a) What are the characteristics of a successful trading program?

(b) How should the trading program be managed? Should a neutral third party, such as a commodities exchange, play a formal role in the trading program? Can the commission instead rely on the marketplace to develop an exchange or exchanges?

(c) What type of commission oversight is needed to ensure that the trading program achieves the statutory requirements? What type of enforcement mechanisms are appropriate to ensure compliance?

(d) How could the trading program incorporate banking of credits over time and still meet capacity targets?

(e) If a trading program is denominated in energy rather than "installed renewable capacity," what conversion factors (and other considerations) should be used to convert from capacity to energy?

3. (a) Will the design of the credit trading program affect the decision of municipal utilities and cooperatives to offer customer choice in their service areas?

(b) How should the options outlined in §39.904 (e) and (f) for municipally owned utilities operating gas distribution systems be reflected in the rule?

Allocation of Responsibility

4. How should the renewable-energy requirement in §39.904 be allocated among retail electric providers and those municipally owned utilities and electric cooperatives that offer choice?

Performance Standards

5. In light of your recommendations relating to the trading of credits, please address the following issues:

(a) What performance standards are necessary to satisfy the requirements of §39.904(c)(2)?

(b) If you believe that different performance standards are needed for each type of renewable technology, please specify the respective renewable energy technology for which each performance standard should be used.

Other Comments

6. Please provide any other comments that you believe will assist the commission in implementing §39.904 in an efficient manner.

Comments on the above questions (15 copies) may be submitted to the Filing Clerk, Public Utility Commission of Texas, 1701 North Congress Avenue, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas, 78701-3326. All comments should refer to Project Number 20944. Comments must be received by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, July 12, 1999. The commission will hold a public workshop at the commission's offices at the address listed above on Tuesday, July 27, 1999, at 9:30 a.m. in the Commissioner's Hearing Room. Questions should be directed to Jodie Smith-Brown at (512) 936-7387 or Gillan Taddune at (512) 936-7223. Hearing and speech-impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may contact the commission at (512) 936-7136.
