REGIONAL PLANS--STANDARDS
1 TAC §251.6
The Commission on State Emergency Communications (CSEC) adopts
the amendment to §251.6, concerning guidelines for submission of requests
from councils of governments regarding strategic plans, amendments, and allocation
of equalization surcharge funds, without changes to the proposed text as published
in the November 2, 2001, issue of the
Texas Register
(26 TexReg 8620) .
The section is amended, based on the review of the notification amendment
process and on recent internal audit findings, to eliminate the notification
amendment reporting requirement from 15 working days to a schedule to be set
by the CSEC staff of no more than twice a year. The amendments also bring
the rule in alignment with Sunset recommendations and legislative mandates
enacted during the 76th and 77th Legislative sessions on CSEC's funding authority
and revenue allocation.
There were no comments received on the proposal during the comment period.
The amendment is adopted pursuant to the Texas Health and Safety
Code, Chapter 771, §§771.051, 771.055, 771.056, 771.057, 771.071,
771.0711, 771.072, 771.075, 771.078, and 771.079 which authorize the Commission
to adopt policies and procedures prescribing the distribution and use of 9-1-1
funds for providing 9-1-1 service.
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.
