TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATION
Chapter 60.
TEXAS COMMISSION OF LICENSING AND REGULATION
Subchapter B. ORGANIZATION
16 TAC §60.64
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation ("Department")
adopts amendments to §60.64 concerning the duration of advisory committees/boards/councils
governed by the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation and the Executive
Director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation as published
in the December 7, 2001 issue of the
Texas Register
(26 TexReg 10004) with changes. The changes to the rule section from
what was proposed deletes the proposed language regarding the time period
for which each advisory body has been and will be continued. This change is
made for clarification. The Department also removed the Vehicle Protection
Product Warrantor Advisory Board from this schedule. The statute governing
vehicle protection product warrantors, Texas Civil Statutes, Article 9035,
provides that Texas Government Code, Chapter 2110 does not apply to this advisory
board.
The amendments to §60.64 continue the existence of the advisory committees/boards/councils
to the Commission and Executive Director and set September 1, 2006 as the
automatic abolishment dates for them. The Commission relies on these advisory
bodies to provide technical knowledge of their respective programs and industries,
and receives expert advice from them on matters critical to the Commission's
protection of public health, safety, and welfare.
One comment was received from representatives of the National Vehicle Protection
Association (NVPA) stating that the advisory board for vehicle protection
product warrantors should not have an abolishment date set because the statute
governing these warrantors, Texas Civil Statutes, Article 9035, provides that
Texas Government Code, Chapter 2110 does not apply to this advisory board.
The Department agrees with this comment and believes that this advisory board
is not subject to the provisions of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2110 which
govern the other advisory bodies.
The amendments will function to enhance the administration and enforcement
of state statutory requirements related to the respective advisory bodies
and duties applicable to these advisory bodies.
The amendments to §60.64 are adopted under Texas Occupations
Code, Chapter 51, §51.203 which authorizes the Department to adopt rules
as necessary to implement this Chapter and any other law establishing a program
regulated by the Department and Government Code, §2110.008 which authorizes
an agency to continue the existence of an advisory committee beyond this section's
four-year period following the date of creation of the committee.
The statutory provisions affected by the adoption are those set forth in
Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 51; Texas Civil Statutes, Article 9102; Texas
Civil Statutes, Article 8861; Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1802; Health
and Safety Code, Chapter 755; Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 754; Texas
Government Code, Chapter 57; Texas Civil Statutes, Article 8886; Texas Civil
Statutes, Article 9034; Texas Water Code, Chapters 32 and 33; and Senate Bill
1175, Article 1, 77th Texas Legislative Session. No other statutes, articles,
or codes are affected by the adoption.
§60.64.Duration of Advisory Committee/Boards/Councils.
In accordance with Texas Government Code Annotated, §2110.008
the Commission establishes the following periods during which the advisory
committee/boards/councils listed will continue in existence. The automatic
abolishment date of each advisory committee/board/council will be the date
listed for that committee/board/council unless the Commission subsequently
establishes a different date:
(1)

16 TAC §§65.10, 65.20, 65.80
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation adopts amendments
to §§65.10, 65.20 and 65.80 concerning boilers as published in the
October 26, 2001 issue of the
Texas Register
(26 TexReg 8448) without changes, and will not be republished. The amendments
as adopted reflect the changes in the Law as revised by the 76th Legislative
Session, HB 2296; to conform to the current edition of the National Board
Inspection Code and addenda; and delete all references to the registration
of boiler installers.
The changes in §65.10 add, amend, delete, and renumber definitions
to reflect the changes in the law as revised by the 76th Legislative Session.
The changes in §65.20 delete references to the fee for the Texas Boiler
Law and Rules manual because the fee for the manual was deleted in a prior
rule adoption. The change in §65.80 delete references to the American
Petroleum Institute (API) examination because the Department no longer administers
this examination.
Additionally, General Counsel determined that the Boiler Law did not give
the Department the authority to register boiler installers, therefore, the
definition of installer in §65.10, the references to the registration
of boiler installers in §65.20 and the fee for a boiler installer registration
in §65.80 were deleted.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments.
The amendments should enhance the future administration and enforcement
of the Boiler Division program.
The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 51, §51.203
and Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 755, §755.032. The Department
interprets §51.203 as authorizing the Executive Director to adopt rules
as necessary to implement this chapter and any other law establishing a program
regulated by the Department. The Department interprets §755.032 as authorizing
the Commissioner to adopt and enforce rules concerning boilers to assure compliance
with the intent and purpose of the code.
The statutory provisions affected by the adoption are Texas Occupations
Code, Chapter 51, and Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 755. No other statutes,
articles, or codes are affected by the adoption.
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.

16 TAC §§70.23, 70.70, 70.71
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (Department)
adopts amendments to §§70.23, 70.70, and 70.71 concerning industrialized
housing and buildings. The amendments to §70.23 are adopted with changes
to the proposed text as published in the October 26, 2001 issue of the
The amendments to §70.23 add new energy inspector certification criteria
to the criteria for approval of third party inspectors. The justification
for the change is the passage of legislation requiring energy inspections
of new construction to be performed by code certified inspectors. The change
to the text from what was published in the proposal adds the word "as" to §70.23(2)(C)
for clarification.
The amendments to §70.70 and §70.71 amend the seismic zone requirement
to a seismic design category requirement. The justification for the change
is that the 2000 International Codes adopted by the Texas Industrialized Building
Code Council require buildings to be assigned a seismic design category, not
a seismic zone.
One comment was received from the Southern Building Code Congress International,
Inc. in favor of the proposed amendments.
The amendments will function by increasing program integrity.
The amendments are adopted under the Texas Occupations Code,
Chapter 51, §51.203 and Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated, Article
5221f-1 §6. The Department interprets §51.203 as authorizing the
Executive Director to adopt rules as necessary to implement this chapter and
any other law establishing a program regulated by the Department. The Department
interprets §6 as authorizing the Commissioner to adopt rules as appropriate
to implement actions, decisions, interpretations and instructions of the council.
The statutory provisions affected by the adopted amendments are Texas Occupations
Code, Chapter 51, and Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated, Article 5221f-1.

16 TAC §§75.10, 75.21, 75.22, 75.24, 75.30, 75.40, 75.70, 75.80, 75.100
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation adopts amendments
to §§75.10, 75.21, 75.22, 75.24, 75.30, 75.40, 75.70, 75.80, and
75.100, concerning air conditioning contractors, as published in the January
4, 2002, issue of the
Texas Register
(27 TexReg
25). Sections 75.21, 75.22, 75.24, 75.30, 75.40, 75.70, and 75.80 are adopted
without change and will not be republished. Sections 75.10 and 75.100 are
adopted with changes.
A public hearing was held on January 23, 2002. Comments were received from
the Texas Association of Builders, Southern Building Code Conference International,
and an air conditioning and refrigeration contractor. The Texas Association
of Builders commented in favor of the proposed changes respective to §75.100.
The Southern Building Code Conference International commented in favor of
the proposed changes respective to §§75.10 and 75.100; however,
they did submit recommended changes in the wording. The air conditioning and
refrigeration contractor was opposed to the changes respective to §75.30
and in favor of the changes respective to §75.100.
The amendment to §75.10 adds a definition of "Executive Director"
and amends "Business affiliation" to make the definition easier to understand.
The Department received a comment pointing out that the published text contained
an error in paragraph (21) because it deviated from the current rule and from
the amendments to the Act passed by the 77th Legislature. The Department agrees
with the comment and has amended the proposed paragraph.
The amendments to §75.10 are to conform the rules to the statute,
provide clarification to industry and promote understanding of the terms used
in this Chapter.
The amendments proposed to §75.30 exempt persons who perform air conditioning
contracting on boats used for pleasure from licensure requirements, and define
the exemption from licensing for general contractors. The justification is
that pleasure boats are considered to be similar to recreation vehicles, which
are considered motor vehicles and are exempt from licensure in the Act, and
clarify the exemption from licensure for general contractors.
The Department received one comment on the amendments to §75.30 objecting
to exempting of anyone doing air conditioning and refrigeration work, since
the purpose of the law is to protect property and citizens, and an exemption
is a loophole for unlicensed people. The Department believes the rules on
exemptions explain and interpret exemptions contained in the statute and do
not increase the number of people already exempt under the Act.
The amendments to §75.100 change the adoption of standards to require
the most current edition of codes rather than the 2000 edition, state that
the Department considers the International Mechanical Code and the Uniform
Mechanical Code to be equal in strictness, and specify that, in areas where
no code has been adopted by a municipality, the contractor performing the
work must choose one of the codes to follow. The justification is that the
amendment will provide a reasonable way for contractors to determine which
code must be followed in a specific location.
The Department received three comments on §75.100. One comment questioned
the authority of the Department to interpret the statute less strictly, but
approved the common-sense approach. The Department agrees with the comment
that the rule reflects a common-sense approach, but disagrees with the comment
that it is interpreting the statute less strictly than it should, because
the Department has determined that the International Mechanical Code and the
Uniform Mechanical Code, taken as a whole, are equally strict in their standards.
Another comment requested addition of the International Fuel Gas Code,
to be used with the International Mechanical Code, because the subject matter
of both correspond to the subject matter encompassed by the Uniform Mechanical
Code, and approved the concept of the rule change. The Department concurs
with the comment requesting addition of the International Fuel Gas Code and
is adopting this section with that change. Another comment approved the amended
rule section.
The amendments are adopted under Texas Civil Statutes, Article
8861 and Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 51, §51.203 which authorizes
the Department to adopt rules as necessary to implement this Chapter and any
other law establishing a program regulated by the Department.
The statutory provisions affected by the adoption are those set forth in
Texas Civil Statutes, Article 8886 and Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 51.
No other statutes, articles, or codes are affected by the adoption.
