was submitted on July 10, 2002. The permit application is available for viewing
and copying at the offices of the Public Works Department, City of Wichita
Falls located at 1300 7th Street in Wichita Falls, Texas. The TCEQ executive
director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared
a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions
under which the facility must operate. The executive director has made a preliminary
decision to issue this draft permit.
MAILING LISTS. You may ask to be placed on a mailing list to obtain additional
information regarding this application by sending a request to the Office
of the Chief Clerk at the address below. You may also ask to be on a county-wide
mailing list to receive public notices for TCEQ permits in the county.
PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request
a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is
to provide the opportunity to submit comment or to ask questions about the
application. The TCEQ 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. You may submit additional written public comment to the Office
of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 within

requested to be on a mailing list for this application. If comments are received,
the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case
hearing or reconsideration of the executive director's decision. A contested
case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district
court. A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues
of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission's decision on the
application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that
were raised during the public comment period and not withdrawn. Issues that
are not raised in public comments may not be considered during a hearing.

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 $50.00, $100, $250, 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 an "EXTREME GREEN" Instant Game prize of $1,000, $10,000, or
$100,000, 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 an "EXTREME GREEN" 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 "EXTREME GREEN"
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 "EXTREME GREEN" 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 4,153,125
tickets in the Instant Game No. 341. The approximate number and value of prizes
in the game are as follows:
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. 341 without advance notice,
at which point no further tickets in that game may be sold.

to comply with, and abide by, these Game Procedures for Instant Game No. 341,

Child and Family Services Plan
The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (PRS) is developing
the annual update of the Child and Family Services Plan for the State of Texas.
The plan covers the five-year period from October 1, 1999, through September
30, 2004. Under guidelines issued by the U. S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the Administration for Children and Families, PRS, as the designated
agency to administer Title IV-B programs in the state of Texas, is required
to review the progress made in the previous year toward accomplishing the
goals, objectives, strategies, and action steps identified in the state's
five- year plan.
The Child and Family Services Plan annual update is required for the states
to receive their allotment for fiscal year 2004 authorized under Title IV-B
of the Social Security Act, Subparts 1 and/or 2, and the Child Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Act (CAPTA). The update also gives states an opportunity to
apply for fiscal year 2004 funds for the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program.
To receive funds for fiscal year 2004, the annual update referenced above
must be submitted by June 30, 2003.
The purpose of this notice is to advise the public of the development of
the required annual update and to solicit feedback or input regarding the
goals, objectives, strategies, and action steps identified in the state's
five-year plan. Members of the public can obtain more detailed information
regarding the Child and Family Services Plan for the State of Texas from the
PRS web site at: http://www.tdprs.state.tx.us
Interested persons who do not have access to the Internet and would like
to receive a written copy of information concerning this proposal may contact:

Deputy Director, Legal Services
Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services
Filed: March 26, 2003
The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (PRS) adopted
new Chapter 746, Minimum Standards for Child Care Centers, and new Chapter
747, Minimum Standards for Child Care Homes, in the February 14, 2003, issue
of the
Texas Register
(28 TexReg 1402). Sections
746.1203, 746.1603, 746.3301, and 747.5407 contained errors as submitted.
Section 746.1203 was inadvertently adopted with changes (page 1440). As
the briefing chart presented to the Board and the response to comments in
the preamble make clear, however, the Board's intent was to adopt §746.1203
as originally proposed. Therefore we are adding paragraph (6) and renumbering
the remaining paragraphs to appear as proposed:
"(6) Be free from duties not directly involving the teaching, care, and
supervision of children, such as:"
"(A) Administrative and clerical functions that take the caregiver's attention
away from the children;"
"(B) Meal preparation, except when 12 or fewer children are in care; and"
"(C) Janitorial duties, such as mopping, vacuuming, and cleaning restrooms.
Sweeping up after an activity or mopping up spills may be necessary for the
children's safety and are not considered janitorial duties;"
"(7) Interact routinely with children in a positive manner;"
"(8) Foster developmentally appropriate independence in children through
planned but flexible program activities;"
"(9) Foster a cooperative rather than a competitive atmosphere;"
"(10) Show appreciation of children's efforts and accomplishments; and"
"(11) Ensure continuity of care for children by sharing with incoming caregivers
information about each child's activities during the previous shift and any
verbal or written instructions given by the parent."
Section 746.1603 was adopted without change and was not republished; however
a change is needed to correct a mistake in terminology. Specifically, after
publication it was discovered that use of the term "rounding down," when calculating
the "core number" for group sizes, would result in an unintended change in
child/staff ratios. In order to effectuate the Board's actual intent that
the formula be designed to maintain the same child/staff ratios as were in
effect prior to the adoption of this rule change, the formula must use the
term "round up" in place of "round down." Accordingly, PRS is correcting the
text of §746.1603 to read:
"§746.1603. How do I determine the specified age of the children in
each group?"
"Identify the specified age of the children in each group using this formula:"
"(1) List all of the children in the group in order of their ages from
youngest to oldest. Children younger than 24 months should be listed by their
age in months. Children two years and older are listed by their age in years."
"(2) Determine the total number of children in the group and divide this
number by two. If the result is not a whole number but is .5, such as 6.5,
round up to the next number, which is 7. This will be the core number of the
group."
"(3) Begin counting at the first or youngest child on your list and count
down the list from youngest to oldest, until you reach the core number. The
age of this child is the specified age of the children in this group. "
On page 1450, §746.3301(a)(3) contained a typographical error, and
is corrected to read:
"(3) If your child-care center is participating in the Child and Adult
Care Food Program (CACFP) administered by the Texas Department of Human Services,
you may elect to meet those requirements rather than those specified in this
subsection."
Previously it referred to "your child-care home."
On page 1520, the first sentence in §747.5407 contained typographical
errors, and is corrected to read:
"For vehicles other than a bus with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or more, you
must secure each child in an infant safety seat, child booster seat, or a
seat belt, as appropriate to the child's age, height, and weight according
to manufacturers' instructions before starting the vehicle, and during all
times the vehicle is in motion."

Correction of Error
In the March 14, 2003, issue of the
Texas Register
(28 TexReg 2303), the Office of the Secretary of State published an
adopted rulemaking notice for 1 TAC §73.43 and §73.44. The third
paragraph of the preamble states that no comments were received regarding
the proposed amendments. In fact, the SOS received a comment on the proposal
that we failed to address in the adopted rulemaking notice.
The commenter submitted a letter that states:
"In section 73.43, I suggest that the reference to 'Vernon's Annotated
Texas Constitution, Article 16, §1(b)' be changed to 'Texas Constitution,
article XVI, §1(b)'. First, it is unnecessary for the state to refer
to a private publisher's copyrighted version of the Texas Constitution. Second,
for better or worse, the numbering of the articles in the constitution is
in Roman numerals, not Arabic.
"For what it's worth, it is the legislature's practice to both (1) refer
to the constitution without citation to the version published by the West
Group and (2) use Roman, rather than Arabic, numbers."
The Office of the Secretary of State agrees with the comment and will change
the statutory citation when the rule is next amended.
