Section 2001.039 requires state agencies to review and consider for readoption each of their rules every four years.

As part of the review process, the department proposes the amendment of Chapter 17, Subchapter C, §17.52 and §17.55, concerning the department's GO TEXAN promotional marketing membership program. These may be found in the proposed rule section of this publication of the Texas Register . The assessment of Chapter 17 by the department at this time indicates that with the exception of the sections proposed for amendment, the reason for readopting without changes all remaining sections in Chapter 17 continues to exist.

The department is accepting comment on the review of Chapter 17. Comments on the review may be submitted within 30 days following the publication of this notice in the Texas Register to Delane Caesar, Assistant Commissioner for Marketing and Promotion, Texas Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 12847, Austin, Texas, 78711.
