Part 1. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Chapter 29. TEXAS AGRICULTURAL DIVERSIFICATION PROGRAM: MATCHING GRANTS

4 TAC §§29.1, 29.2, 29.4 - 29.9, 29.11 - 29.13

The Texas Agricultural Finance Authority (Authority) of the Texas Department of Agriculture adopts the repeal of §§29.1, 29.2, 29.4-29.9, and 29.11-29.13 (Chapter 29), concerning the Authority's Texas Agricultural Diversification Matching Grants Program, without changes to the proposal published in the May 19,2000, issue of the Texas Register (25 TexReg 4422). The repeal of Chapter 29 is adopted because the statutory authority establishing the matching grants program has been repealed. The proposed repeal of Chapter 29 eliminates the Texas Agricultural Diversification Matching Grants Program rules.

No comments were received on the proposal.

The repeal is adopted under the Texas Agriculture Code, §58.023 which provides the Authority with the authority to adopt rules to administer programs established by the Authority board.

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.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on June 26, 2000.
