The purpose of the Request for Proposal is to solicit assistance for TCDD in its efforts to:

1) market TCDD projects and activities, including creating, implementing, and evaluating marketing plans for selected TCDD grantees, producing and distributing products or ideas for selected TCDD grantees, and producing and distributing products or ideas that would promote TCDD and its work;

2) develop and teach a workshop for TCDD grantees and staff on basic marketing strategies and techniques for non-profit organizations; and

3) develop a training packet that TCDD staff can use to train new grantees on basic marketing strategies.

TCDD expects the result to be an increase in the impact and sustainability of grant projects funded by TCDD and other TCDD activities. A natural component of this is to improve the perceptions of target audiences regarding individuals with disabilities and to positively impact their perceptions about the lives of people with disabilities.

One project will be funded under this announcement for up to three years based on a competitive submission of proposals from applicants. TCDD reserves the right to not fund any proposal under this announcement.

Applicants shall be the organization that will provide the administrative functions for the grants and which will receive, disburse, and account for grant funds.

Applicants must provide at least 25% of total project expenses from nonfederal sources for the first year. Project activities located in counties designated as federal poverty areas require a minimum of 10% matching resources. An increasing match in subsequent years is required and will be negotiated with TCDD.

To receive an application packet containing the full request for proposal, application form and instructions, please submit a mail, fax or E-mail request to Carl Risinger, Grants Management Director, Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, 6201 E.

Notices mailed May 27, 2003 through May 29, 2003.

TCEQ Internal Control No. 01132003-D02; ACTON MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT of Hood and Johnson Counties (the District) has filed an application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for authority to levy impact fees of $7,926 per equivalent single family connection for new connections to the water system and $2,924 per equivalent single family connection for new connections to the wastewater system within or near the service area of Acton Municipal Utility District. The District files this application under the authority of Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code, 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293 and the procedural rules of the TCEQ. The purpose of impact fees is to generate revenue to recover the costs of capital improvements and facility expansions made necessary by and attributable to serving new development in the District's service area. At the direction of the District, a registered engineer has prepared a capital improvements plan for the system which identifies the capital improvements or facility expansions and their costs for which the impact fees will be assessed. The impact fee application and supporting information are available for inspection and copying during regular business hours in the District Administration Section of the Water Supply Division, Third Floor of Building F (in the TCEQ Park 35 Office Complex located between Yager & Braker Lanes on North IH-35), 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753.

TCEQ Internal Control No. 03052003-D08; Lake LBJ Municipal Utility District of Llano and Burnet Counties (The District) has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for authority to adopt and impose an annual operations and maintenance standby fee of $34.00 per vacant lot (vacant equivalent single-family connection (ESFCs)) within the District which has available water and/or wastewater and/or drainage facilities for calendar years 2003, 2004 and 2005. The application was filed pursuant to Chapter 49 of the Texas Water Code, 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293, and under the procedural rules of the TCEQ. The Commission may or may not approve the standby fee application, or it may approve a lower standby fee, but it shall not approve a standby fee greater than the amount requested. The standby fee, if approved, is a personal obligation of the person owning the undeveloped property as of the time for which the fee is assessed. A person is not relieved of his pro-rated share of the standby fee obligation on transfer of title to the property. A lien may be attached to the undeveloped property to secure payment of any standby fee imposed and the interest or penalty, if any, on the fee. The lien has the same priority as a lien for taxes of the District. The standby fee, if approved, will be billed by the District. The purpose of standby fees is to distribute a fair portion of the cost burden for the supplementation of the operations and maintenance account to owners of property who have not constructed vertical improvements but have water, wastewater or drainage facilities or capacity available.

TCEQ Internal Control No. 02122003-D02; TRAVIS COUNTY WATER CONTROL & IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 17 (the District) has filed an application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for authority to levy impact fees of $2,700 per equivalent single family connection for new connections to the water system within or near the service area of River Ridge Subdivision.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), under 30 TAC Chapter 116, is providing an opportunity for public comment in order to receive comments concerning a proposed amendment to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources authorized by §116.119.

The TCEQ received a request to add fuel cell systems, which use a fuel reformer to convert natural gas, propane, or liquid petroleum gas to hydrogen for the fuel cell, to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources. Section 116.119(c)(1) allows for amendments to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources by the executive director for facilities or sources considered to be de minimis. If added to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources, the specified facilities or sources no longer are required to obtain authorization prior to construction from the TCEQ. Fuel cell systems that meet the following criteria are proposed to be de minimis facilities or sources: fuel cell systems not exceeding one megawatt that have a hydrogen reformer which uses only natural gas, propane, or liquid petroleum gas to produce the hydrogen for the fuel cell.

The addition or deletion of a category of facilities, sources, or groups of facilities or sources to the List of De Minimis Facilities or Sources is subject to the procedural requirements of §116.119, which include a 30-day public comment period. The List of De Minimis Facilities and Sources is located on the TCEQ Web site at: http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/permitting/airperm /nsr_permits/ demlist.pdf .
