COOPERATIVE MARKETING ASSOCIATIONS
4 TAC §4.5
(Editor's note: The text of the following section proposed for
repeal will not be published. The section may be examined in the offices of
the Texas Department of Agriculture or in the Texas Register office, Room
245, James Earl Rudder Building, 1019 Brazos Street, Austin.)
The Texas Department of Agriculture (the department)
proposes the repeal of §4.5, concerning an expiration date for Chapter
4, relating to Cooperative Marketing Associations. The repeal of §4.5
is proposed because the establishment of an expiration date for Chapter 4
is no longer necessary due to the enactment of legislation establishing a
timeframe for review of agency rules. The repeal of §4.5 eliminates the
expiration date for Chapter 4.
Margaret Alvarez, Coordinator for Cooperative Marketing Associations, has
determined that for the first five-year period the repeal is in effect there
will be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of
enforcing or administering the repeal.
Ms. Alvarez also has determined that for each year of the first five years
the repeal is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing
the repeal will be reduced state regulations. There will be no effect on microbusinesses,
small or large businesses. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons
who are required to comply with the repeal as proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Margaret Alvarez, Coordinator
for Cooperative Marketing Associations, Texas Department of Agriculture, P.
O. Box 12847, Austin, Texas 78711. Comments must be received no later than
30 days from the date of publication of the proposal in the
Texas Register.
The repeal is proposed under the Texas Agriculture Code, §12.016
which provides the Department with the authority to adopt rules to administer
the Code.
The code affected by this proposal is the Texas Agriculture Code, Chapter
52.
§4.5.Expiration Provision.
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been
reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority
to adopt.
