On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439-1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 501. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§506.25, 506.32, and 506.41, the public comment period for these activities extends 30 days from the date published on the Coastal Coordination Council web site. Requests for federal consistency review were received for the following projects(s) during the period of May 10, 2002, through May 16, 2002. The public comment period for these projects will close at 5:00 p.m. on June 21, 2002.

The project can be located on the U.S.G.S. quadrangle map entitled West of Greens Bayou, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates: Zone 15; Easting: 420463; Northing: 3313073. Project Descripton: The applicant requests authorization to install and maintain two pipelines, buried side-by-side, along a 14,305-foot alignment for the purpose of producing the State Tract 8 No. 1 Well. A 6-inch and an 8-inch diameter pipeline will be installed by jetting at a minimum of 3 feet below the mudline, affecting approximately 1.6 acres of lake bottom. The pipeline trench will measure 3 feet wide at the top of the trench. At the point where the pipelines traverse the Sabine River they will be jetted in at a minimum depth of 15 feet below the authorized project depth of -32 feet mean ground level and the top of the pipe depth will be maintained a distance of 25 feet beyond the authorized channel width of 200 feet on both sides of the channel. The proposed pipeline route will originate at the ST 8 No.1 Well and will terminate at a point on shore where the lines will tie into an existing pipeline. At the point where the pipelines meet the shore, the applicant proposes to place 7.5 cubic yards of riprap to provide bank stabilization. No wetlands or vegetated shallows will be impacted by the proposed activity. CCC Project No.: 02-0128-F1; Type of Application: U.S.A.C.E. permit application #22642 is being evaluated under §10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C.A. §403) and §404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§125-1387).

The comptroller shall adopt the chart of accounts no later than September 1, 2002.

A copy of the draft Chart of Accounts may be found at the committee's web page at http://www.cuc.org/CUC/FDAC/working_documents/index.htm.

Correction of Errors

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) published proposed amendments to 1 TAC Chapter 355, concerning Medicaid Reimbursement Rates. The rules appeared in the May 10, 2002, issue of the Texas Register (27 TexReg 3870).

Due to errors in the agency's submission, the preamble to §355.451, concerning governing definitions and general reimbursement information, contained errors in background and summary of factual basis paragraph and in the statement of public benefit paragraph. Those paragraphs are corrected to read as follows:

"Section 531.021, Government Code, entitled "Administration of Medicaid Program," provides, among other things, that HHSC adopt rules and standards to govern the determination of fees, charges, and rates for medical assistance payments under Chapter 32, Human Resources Code, in consultation with the agencies that operate the Medicaid program."

"Steve Lorenzen, Director, Medicaid Rates Setting, has determined that during the first five years that the proposed amendments are in effect, the public benefit is that there will be a full reporting of costs to the ICF/MR provider every year instead of just the rebasing year."

Questions about the corrected paragraphs should be directed to Mary Ann Roberts, Manager, HHSC Medicaid Rates and Analysis, Health and Human Services Commission, by mail to P.O. Box 12668, Austin, Texas 78711, by fax to (512) 206-5673, or by phone to (512) 206-5682.

The agency's submission contained errors in §355.701 concerning definitions and general specifications and §355.743, concerning reimbursement methodology for Service Coordination and new §355.744 concerning Service Coordination definitions for Mental retardation Local Authority (MRLA) program, §355.745 concerning service limitations for Service Coordination through MRLA, and §355.746, concerning reimbursement methodology for MRLA Service Coordination.

The errors were in the preamble paragraphs that explained the amendments on page 3871. Those paragraphs are corrected to read as follows:

"Subsection (a) of §355.701 is amended to state that cost data is required to be submitted annually. The amendment to §355.743(a) corrects a reference, and the amendment to §355743(e)(1) removes a reference to an extraneous date."

"New §§355.744 - 355.746 maximize the state's opportunity to draw federal funds to cover allowable costs in community settings. The amendments will create another service coordination rate for those individuals with Mental Retardation being served through the MRLA program. Currently, the state sets a single rate for service coordination provided to all individuals with mental retardation. The amendments will result in one rate for persons being served through the MRLA program and another rate for all other individuals with mental retardation."

Questions about the corrected paragraphs should be directed to Mary Ann Roberts, Manager, HHSC Medicaid Rates and Analysis, Health and Human Services Commission, by mail to P.O. Box 12668, Austin, Texas 78711, by fax to (512) 206-5673, or by phone to (512) 206-5682.

Request for Proposal for the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program

The Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) is requesting proposals from applicant organizations for the provision of a Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program (FSNEP).

Description of Services: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), through Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), encourages states to submit nutrition education plans to supplement their Food Stamps programs. Of the fifteen nutrition assistance programs administered by FNS, the Food Stamp Program is the cornerstone of the USDA/FNS nutrition assistance program. The FNS Guidance Plan for 2003 places increased emphasis on improved dietary practices. This program provides opportunities to reach recipients with nutrition and lifestyle messages that encourage healthy behaviors. Lack of knowledge of appropriate and nutritious foods can lead to major health and developmental problems. The goal of the FSNEP is to provide nutrition education programs that increase the likelihood of food stamp recipients making healthy food choices, reinforce budgetary considerations for a low-income population, and are consistent with the current dietary advice reflected in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid.

Closing Date: Deadline for submission of proposals is 5:00 p.m. CDT, July 1, 2002. Proposals should be sent to Rex Miller, Texas Department of Human Services, 701 West 51st Street, MC W-323, Austin, Texas 78751.

Terms/Amount of Contract: The contract period is October 1, 2002, through September 30, 2003. At the department's option, this contract may be renewed on an annual basis, for a period not to exceed four years without being subject to further competition. The contract amount is determined based on the proposal submitted and funding by USDA/FNS.

Selection and Evaluation: Proposals will be evaluated on relevant experience, technical merit, timeline schedule and proposed budget.

Contact Person: The proposal is posted on the Electronic State Business Daily. For more information, please call or write Rex Miller (512) 438-4739, Texas Department of Human Services, Texas Works Program Administration, MC W- 323, P.O. Box 149030, Austin, Texas 78714.

To claim a "WEEKLY GRAND" Instant Game prize of $2.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $40.00, or $300, a claimant shall sign the back of the ticket in the space designated on the ticket and present the winning ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not, in some cases, required to pay a $300 ticket. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. When claiming a "WEEKLY GRAND" Instant Game prize of GRAND, the claimant must choose one of four (4) payment options for receiving their prize:

1. Weekly via wire transfer to the claimant/winner's account. This will be similar to the current "WEEKLY GRAND" (Game 173) payment process. With this plan, a payment of $1,000.00 less Federal withholding will be made once a week for twenty years. After the initial payment, installment payments will be made every Wednesday.

2. Monthly via wire transfer to the claimant/winner's account. If the claim is made during the month, the claimant/winner will still receive the entire month's payment. This will allow the flow of payments throughout the 20 years to remain the same. With this plan, a payment of $4,337.00 less Federal withholding will be made the month of the claim. Each additional month, a payment of $4,333.00 less Federal withholding will be made once a month for 20 years. After the initial payment, installment payments will be made on the first business day of each month.

3. Monthly via wire transfer to the claimant/winner's account. If the claim is made during the quarter, the claimant/winner will still receive the entire quarter's payment. This will allow the flow of payments throughout the 20 years to remain the same. With this plan, a payment of $13,000.00 less Federal withholding will be made each quarter (four times a year) for 20 years. After the initial payment, installment payments will be made on the first business day of the first month of every quarter (January, April, July, October).

4. Annually via wire transfer to the claimant/winner's account. These payments will be made in a manner similar to how jackpot payments are currently handled. With this plan, a payment of $52,000.00 less Federal withholding will be made once a year during the anniversary month of the claim for 20 years. After the initial payment, installment payments will be made on the first business day of the anniversary month.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "WEEKLY GRAND" Instant Game prize of $2.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $40.00, or $300, the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete a claim form, and mail both to: Texas Lottery Commission, Post Office Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The risk of sending a ticket remains with the claimant. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct a sufficient amount from the winnings of a person who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the Comptroller, the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission;

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of less than $600 from the "WEEKLY GRAND" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of $1,000 per week for 20 years from the "WEEKLY GRAND" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game. Any prize not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket, shall be forfeited.

When a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the space designated therefor, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto.

2.3 Procedure for Claiming Prizes.

A. To claim a "CROSSWORD" Instant Game prize $3.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $100, or $500, a claimant shall sign the back of the ticket in the space designated on the ticket and present the winning ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not, in some cases, required to pay a $100 or $500 ticket. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "CROSSWORD" Instant Game prize of $5,000 or $35,000, the claimant must sign the winning ticket and present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "CROSSWORD" Instant Game prize, the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete a claim form, and mail both to: Texas Lottery Commission, Post Office Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The risk of sending a ticket remains with the claimant. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct a sufficient amount from the winnings of a person who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the Comptroller, the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission;

2. delinquent in making child support payments administered or collected by the Attorney General; or

3. delinquent in reimbursing the Texas Department of Human Services for a benefit granted in error under the food stamp program or the program of financial assistance under Chapter 31, Human Resource Code;

4. in default on a loan made under Chapter 52, Education Code; or

5. in default on a loan guaranteed under Chapter 57, Education Code

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of less than $600 from the "CROSSWORD" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of more than $600 from the "CROSSWORD" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game. Any prize not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket, shall be forfeited.

3.0 Instant Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of an Instant Game ticket in the space designated therefor, a ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the space designated therefor, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the ticket in the space designated therefor. If more than one name appears on the back of the ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Instant Game tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Instant Game ticket.

4.0 Number and Value of Instant Prizes. There will be approximately 2,944,875 tickets in the Instant Game No. 351. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:

Table 3 of this section

[Figure 3:16 TAC GAME NO. 351- 4.0]

A. The actual number of tickets in the game may be increased or decreased at the sole discretion of the Texas Lottery.

5.0 End of the Instant Game. The Executive Director may, at any time, announce a closing date (end date) for the Instant Game No. 351 without advance notice, at which point no further tickets in that game may be sold.

6.0 Governing Law. In purchasing an Instant Game ticket, the player agrees to comply with, and abide by, these Game Procedures for Instant Game No. 351, the State Lottery Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 466), applicable rules adopted by the Texas Lottery pursuant to the State Lottery Act and referenced in 16 TAC, Chapter 401, and all final decisions of the Executive Director.

Notice of Application for Industrial Hazardous Waste Permits/Compliance Plans

For the Period of May 21, 2002

APPLICATION CROWN CENTRAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (Pasadena), located immediately east of the Washburn Tunnel and along the southern bank of the Houston Ship Channel on approximately 170 acres in Pasadena, Harris County, Texas, has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for renewal of hazardous waste permit (Permit No. HW-50112) and renewal of compliance plan (Compliance Plan No. CP-50112). The permit would authorize continued closure and post-closure care of hazardous waste, Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 industrial solid waste. The compliance plan renewal authorizes and requires the permittee to continue to monitor the concentration of hazardous constituents in ground water and to remediate ground-water quality to specified standards.

The Executive Director of the TNRCC has prepared a draft permit and compliance plan which, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The facility is located in a area subject to the Coastal Management Program (CMP). The Executive Director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the CMP in accordance with the regulations of the Coastal Coordination Council and has determined that the action is consistent with the applicable CMP goals and policies.

This notice satisfies the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S. 6901 et seq. and 40 CFR 124.10. Once the final permit and compliance plan decisions of the TNRCC and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are effective regarding this facility, they will implement the requirements of RCRA as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). The final permit and compliance plan decision will also implement the federally authorized State requirements. The TNRCC and EPA have entered into a joint permitting agreement whereby permits will be issued in Texas in accordance with the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Texas Health and Safety Code Ann., Chapter 361 and RCRA, as amended. In order for the applicant to have a fully effective RCRA permit, both the TNRCC and EPA must issue the permit. All permit provisions are fully enforceable under State and Federal law. The State of Texas has not received full HSWA authority. Areas in which the TNRCC has not been authorized by EPA are denoted in the draft permit with an asterisk (*). Persons wishing to comment or request a hearing on a HSWA requirement denoted with an asterisk (*) in the draft permit should also notify in writing, Chief, RCRA Permits Branch, EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. EPA will accept hearing requests submitted to the TNRCC.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. Written public comments and requests for a public meeting should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address provided in the information section below, within 45 days of the date of newspaper publication of the notice. A public meeting is intended for the taking of public comment, and is not a contested case hearing. A public meeting will be held if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested in writing by an affected person within 45 days of the date of newspaper publication of the notice.

CONTESTED CASE HEARING. The TNRCC may grant a contested case hearing on this application if a written hearing request is filed within 45 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice. The Executive Director may approve the application unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed.

To request a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number, and fax number, if any; (2) applicant's name and permit number; (3) the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing;" (4) a brief and specific description of how you would be affected by the granting of the application in a way not common to the general public; and (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the proposed activity. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns. Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address provided in the information section below.

If a hearing request is filed, the Executive Director will not issue the permit and will forward the application and hearing request to the TNRCC Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. If a contested case hearing is held, it will be a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court.

INFORMATION. Written hearing requests, public comments, or requests for a public meeting should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TNRCC, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087.

Notice of Proposed Minor Amendment of a General Permit

The following notice was issued and mailed on May 21, 2002, for this Permit No. TXR05000.

The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) has initiated a minor amendment of the existing general permit covering eligible storm water, and certain types of non- storm water, discharges directly to exceptional, high, intermediate, limited, or no significant aquatic life use receiving waters. No discharges to exceptional, high, intermediate, limited, or no significant aquatic life use receiving waters are allowed by the proposed general permit, except as specifically authorized by the general permit according to Section 26.040 of the Texas Water Code.

The executive director has prepared a draft minor amendment of an existing general permit that authorizes point source discharges of storm water, and certain types of non-storm water, from industrial activities that are grouped into thirty (30) similar sectors based on Standard Industrial Classification Codes. The proposed changes to this existing general permit include: annual discharge monitoring report requirements for certain permittees; annual non-compliance report requirements for all permittees that exceed certain other numeric effluent limitations; providing necessary discharge monitoring report forms; correction of clerical errors.

The executive director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal management Program (CMP) according to Coastal Coordination Council (CCC) regulations, and has determined that the action is consistent with applicable CMP goals and policies. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The executive director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.

You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this general permit. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit written or oral comment or to ask questions about the application. Generally, the TNRCC will hold a public meeting if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

Written public comments and requests for a public meeting should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TNRCC, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 within 30 days of the date this notice is mailed. The notice was mailed on May 21, 2002.

After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. The response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who requested to be on a mailing list for this application.

In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. You may request to be added to: (1) a permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) a permanent mailing list for a specific county or counties.

Note that a request to be added to a mailing list for a specific county will result in notification of all permitting matters affecting that particular county.

To be added to a mailing list, send us your name and address, clearly specifying which mailing list(s) to which you wish to be added. Your written request should be sent to the TNRCC, Office of the Chief Clerk, Mail Code 105, P. O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087.

Railroad Commission of Texas

Correction of Errors

The Railroad Commission of Texas proposed new 16 TAC §4.103, concerning Definitions. As published in the May 17, 2002, Texas Register (27 TexReg 4284), two commas were omitted from paragraph (29), "Gas plant evaporation/retention pit". Commas should follow the phrase "at a gasoline plant," and "natural gas liquids processing plant,". The text of paragraph (29) on page 4285 should read as follows.

(29) Gas plant evaporation/retention pit--A pit used for storage or disposal of cooling tower blowdown, water condensed from natural gas, or other waste water generated at a gasoline plant, natural gas or natural gas liquids processing plant, or a pressure maintenance or repressurizing plant."

The Railroad Commission of Texas proposed new 16 TAC §4.139. On page 4293, paragraph (b)(5), a word was omitted. As published, the text reads, "(5) for a permit for only, a topographic map..." The word "disposal" was inadvertently omitted. The correct wording should be: "(5) for a permit for disposal only, a topographic map..."

Texas Department of Transportation

Request for Proposal - Public Transportation Division

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announces a Request for Proposal (RFP) for private consultant services from project initiation to thirty-six months later, with an option to renew for an additional twenty-four months. The project will be funded with 80% Federal Transit Administration §5313 program funding; state funds will provide the remaining 20%. The Public Transportation Division of TxDOT will administer the contract. The RFP will be released on May 31, 2002.

Purpose : The purpose of the funding is to conduct a transit system management performance review and develop a transportation development plan for selected rural transit systems and their subcontractors. The project will involve a detailed examination of the environment in which the transit system operates. The review will assess the performance of each operational unit, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of the system as a whole. The review will also assess the decision-making process used by local officials to oversee performance and the organizational structure of the system. The transportation development plan will include a profile of existing service and users, and a needs assessment and demand estimation. Various service alternatives will be considered before developing a final service plan with an accompanying implementation program and funding plan. A minimum of three on-site visits to the transit agency are required.

Eligible Applicants : Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to, organizations that provide private consulting services to the rural public transit industry.

Availability of Funds : A maximum of $950,000 will be available over a five-year period. Initially, $175,000 will be available for approximately a fifteen month period to fund management reviews and transportation development plans for five rural transit systems identified in the RFP.

Program Goal : Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, §31.36 requires FTA §5311 grant recipients to develop performance goals for each fiscal year. The intent is to ensure that Texas' Rural Transit Districts (RTDs) are being operated in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. This project uses private consulting services to conduct management performance reviews and transportation development plans to aid specific RTDs. It is intended to provide technical assistance to the target agencies.

Review and Award Criteria : Each application will first be screened for completeness and timeliness. Proposals that are deemed incomplete or arrive after the deadline will not be reviewed. A team of reviewers from the Public Transportation Division and the transit industry will evaluate the proposals as to the private consultant's competence, knowledge, and qualifications and as to the reasonableness of the proposed fee for the services. The criteria and review process are further described in the RFP.

Deadlines : TxDOT must receive proposals prepared according to instructions in the RFP package at or before 1:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, July 3, 2002.

To Obtain a Copy of the RFP : Requests for a copy of the RFP should be submitted to Karen Dunlap, Texas Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division, 125 East 11th Street, Austin, Texas 78701-2483. Telephone (512) 416-2817. Fax (512) 416-2830. Email:
