The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation adopts amendments
to §65.80 concerning the Boiler Division program without changes to the
proposed text as published in the February 25, 2000 issue of the
Texas Register
(25 TexReg 1493) and will not be republished.
The amendment to §65.80 raises the inspection fees for heating boilers
for those without a manhole from $80 to $85 and those with a manhole from
$110 to $115. The fee rate stated herein was set by the Texas Department of
Licensing and Regulation Commission, and not mandated by the Legislature.
The Department is required to structure fees for each statute to pay for its
own regulation and the fees currently in place are below the amount to cover
costs. Without the increase it could adversely affect the administration and
enforcement of the Boiler Division program.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments.
The section will function by allowing the department to cover program costs.
The amendments are adopted under Texas Health and Safety Code
Annotated, Chapter 755 (Vernon 1999) which authorizes the Texas Department
of Licensing and Regulation to promulgate and enforce a code of rules and
take all action necessary to assure compliance with the intent and purpose
of the Code.
The amendments affect Texas Health and Safety Code Annotated, Chapter 755
(Vernon 1999) and the Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 51 (Vernon 1999).
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
