The Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, which administers these rules,
believes that the reasons for initially adopting the rules contained in these

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.
