1 TAC §251.2
The Commission on State Emergency Communications (CSEC) adopts
an amendment to §251.2, concerning guidelines for changing or extending
9-1-1 service arrangements, without changes to the proposed text as published
in the May 2, 2003 issue of the
Texas Register
(28
TexReg 3661).
The section makes some modifications that bring the rule in line with current
Commission policies and procedures regarding amendments. The rule currently
requires prior approval for any service arrangement changes or extension;
current policy only requires a notification amendment. It also reflects updated
languages and definitions to bring the rule in line with other current rules.
Additionally, this would combine the certification and amendment process for
wireless service implementations, and would eliminate duplicate work for the
RPCs.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under Health and Safety Code, Chapter
771, Sections 771.051, 771.055 and 771.056; and the Texas Administrative Code,
Part XII, Chapter 251, Regional Plan Standards, which provide the Commission
on State Emergency Communications with the authority to administer and implement
9-1-1 emergency communications.
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 June 16, 2003.

to baseline memory, in the testing requirements; clarification as to when
