TITLE 37.PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONS

Part 13. TEXAS COMMISSION ON FIRE PROTECTION

Chapter 463. APPLICATION CRITERIA

37 TAC §463.4

The Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) adopts an amendment to §463.4, concerning application criteria for the Fire Department Emergency Program (FEDP), without changes to the text published in the December 28, 2001, issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 10809).

The number of eligible applicants for FDEP funds is anticipated to increase as the result of changing the requirement for participation in TEXFIRS.

The amendment to §463.4 changes the requirement for participation in TEXFIRS from during the three months prior to the application to participation at the time of application or an agreement to participate at the time of funding.

No comments were received on the proposed amendment.

The amendment is adopted under Texas Government Code, §419.008, which provides the TCFP with authority to adopt rules for the administration of its powers and duties and Texas Government Code, §§419.051-419.064, which provide the TCFP with authority to administer the FDEP.

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 February 7, 2002.
