Notice of the review of 7 TAC, Chapter 1, Subchapters E through I was published in the Texas Register as required on June 30, 2006 (31 TexReg 5365). The agency received no comments in response to that notice.

The Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, which administers these rules, believes that the reasons for initially adopting the rules contained in these subchapters continue to exist. However, the agency determined that these rules should be relocated and that certain revisions are appropriate and necessary. The proposed repeals of Subchapters E through I, as well as the proposed new sections contained within new Chapter 83, are being concurrently published elsewhere in this issue of the Texas Register and will be open for an additional 31-day public comment period prior to final adoption or repeal by the commission.

Any questions or written comments pertaining to the proposed changes (published elsewhere in this issue) resulting from this rule review should be directed to Laurie Hobbs, Assistant General Counsel, Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, 2601 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78705-4207, or by e-mail to laurie.hobbs@occc.state.tx.us.

Subject to the proposed repeals of Subchapters E through I, the commission finds that the reasons for initially adopting these rules continue to exist, and readopts these sections without changes in accordance with the requirements of Texas Government Code, §2001.039.

This concludes the review of 7 TAC, Chapter 1, Subchapters E through I.
