Chief Clerk
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Filed: March 8, 2006
The purpose of the meeting is to obtain public input and information concerning
proposal of the site to the state registry of Superfund sites, the identification
of potentially responsible parties, and the proposal of non-residential land
use.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is required
under the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Health and Safety Code, Chapter
361, as amended (the Act), to annually publish a state registry that identifies
facilities that may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to
public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened
release of hazardous substances into the environment. The most recent registry
listing of these facilities was published in the April 29, 2005, issue of
the
Texas Register
(30 TexReg 2583).
Pursuant to the Act, §361.184(a), the commission must publish a notice
of intent to list a facility on the state registry of state Superfund sites
in the
Texas Register
and in a newspaper of
general circulation in the county in which the site is located. With this
publication, the commission hereby gives notice of a site that the executive
director has determined eligible for listing and which the executive director
proposes to list on the state registry. By this publication, the commission
also gives notice pursuant to the Act, §361.1855, that it proposes a
land use other than residential as appropriate for the site identified. The
commission proposes a commercial/industrial land use designation. Determination
of appropriate land use may impact the remedial investigation and remedial
action for the site. The TCEQ is proposing a land use designation of commercial/industrial
based on the existing land use of the property, as is prescribed in the Texas
Risk Reduction Program rule at 30 TAC §350.53.
This publication also specifies the general nature of the potential endangerment
to public health and safety or the environment as determined by information
currently available to the executive director. This notice of intent to list
this site was also published on March 16, 2006, in
The Cameron Herald
and on March 17, 2006, in the
Temple Daily Telegram
.
The site proposed for listing is the Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturing
Company, located on Shaw Road in Rogers, Bell County, Texas. The geographic
coordinates of the site are Latitude 30 degrees 56 minutes 41.91008 seconds
North and Longitude 97 degrees 14 minutes 23.65089 seconds West and the approximate
site elevation is 650 feet mean sea level. The description of the site is
based on information available at the time the site was evaluated with the
Hazard Ranking System (HRS). The HRS is the principal screening guide used
by the commission to evaluate potential, relative risk to public health and
the environment from releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances.
The site description may change as additional information is gathered on the
sources and extent of contamination.
The Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturing Company site began operation
in approximately February 1981. It is currently inactive with no known residents
or workers on-site. The property is roughly 19 acres in size. Mineral Wool
Insulation Manufacturing Company manufactured and produced blow wool and batt
wool using blast furnaces from raw material such as slags from copper and
antimony smelting, waste from limestone mining, as well as coke and basalts.
The raw material was melted in a coke-fired furnace and then extruded by blowing
air over spinning drums to form fibers. The residue left in the furnace from
the heating of the slags was a metal shot type material. This spent iron shot
was the main waste type generated as part of the mineral wool process.
A public meeting will be held April 27, 2006, at 7:00 p.m., at The Civic
Center, located at 4 West Mesquite, Rogers, Texas 76569. The purpose of this
meeting is to obtain additional information regarding the site relative to
its eligibility for listing on the state registry, identify additional potentially
responsible parties, and obtain public input and information regarding the
appropriate use of land on which the site that is the subject of this notice
is located. The public meeting is not a contested case hearing under the Texas
Administrative Procedure Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001).
All persons desiring to make comments may do so prior to or at the public
meeting. All comments submitted prior to the public meeting must be received
by 5:00 p.m., April 26, 2006,
and should be sent in
writing
to Kristian Mauricio, Project Manager, TCEQ, Remediation Division,
MC 136, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or facsimile at (512) 239-2450.
The public comment period for this action will end at the close of the public
meeting on April 27, 2006.
A portion of the record for this site, including documents pertinent to
the executive director's determination of eligibility, is available for review
at the Temple Public Library, 100 West Adams Avenue, Temple, Texas 76501,
(254) 298-5702, during regular business hours. Copies of the complete public
record file may be obtained during regular business hours at the commission's

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) staff
is providing an opportunity for written public comment on the listed Default
Orders (DOs). The commission staff proposes a DO when the staff has sent an
executive director's preliminary report and petition (EDPRP) to an entity
outlining the alleged violations; the proposed penalty; the proposed technical
requirements necessary to bring the entity back into compliance; and the entity
fails to request a hearing on the matter within 20 days of its receipt of
the EDPRP. Similar to the procedure followed with respect to Agreed Orders
entered into by the executive director of the commission in accordance with
Texas Water Code (TWC), §7.075, this notice of the proposed order and
the opportunity to comment is published in the
Texas
Register

comment period closes, which in this case is
April

and the commission may withdraw or withhold approval of a DO if a comment
discloses facts or considerations that indicate a proposed DO is inappropriate,
improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the statutes
and rules within the commission's jurisdiction, or orders and permits issued
in accordance with the commission's regulatory authority. Additional notice
of changes to a proposed DO is not required to be published if those changes
are made in response to written comments.
A copy of each proposed DO is available for public inspection at both the
commission's central office, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building A,

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Filed: March 7, 2006
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission) will conduct
public hearings to receive testimony regarding proposed new §§101.501
- 101.504, 101.506, 101.508, 101.601, and 101.602 of 30 TAC Chapter 101, General
Air Quality Rules; proposed amendments to §§122.10, 122.12, 122.120,
and 122.410, and proposed new §§122.420, 122.422, 122.424, 122.426,
122.428, 122.440, 122.442, 122.444, 122.446, and 122.448 of 30 TAC Chapter
122, Federal Operating Permits Program, under the requirements of Texas Health
and Safety Code, §382.017; Texas Government Code, Subchapter B, Chapter
2001; and 40 Code of Federal Regulations §51.102 and §60.23, of
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations concerning
state implementation plans (SIPs) and state plans for designated facilities
and pollutants. The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) provisions requiring these
plans are located in FCAA, §110 and §111, respectively. Proposed
new §§101.501 - 101.504, 101.506, 101.508, and 101.601 will be submitted
to the EPA as a revision to the SIP. Proposed new §101.601 and §101.602
will be submitted to the EPA as part of the FCAA, §111 plan.
The commission proposes new §§101.501 - 101.504, 101.506, and
101.508 to incorporate by reference the model trading rule requirements of
the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and would revise the SIP required under
FCAA, §110. CAIR is a federal program promulgated to reduce the interstate
transport of fine particulate matter through the control of nitrogen oxides
(NO
x
) and SO
2
emissions.
House Bill (HB) 2481, 79th Legislature, 2005, directed the commission to meet
the CAIR reduction requirements by incorporating the CAIR model trading rules
by reference and participating in an EPA-administered cap and trade program
for annual NO
x
and annual SO
2
emissions. The bill also provided specific direction for the methodology
to be used in allocating the NO
x
trading budget
provided to Texas, identified an amount of CAIR NO
x
allowances to be set aside for new sources, and specified that reductions
associated with CAIR would be required only from new and existing electric
generating units. The commission also proposes amendments to Chapter 122 to
incorporate the permitting requirements for CAIR and the Clean Air Mercury
Rule (CAMR) by reference. The CAIR and CAMR permits will establish federal
enforceability of the CAIR and CAMR trading programs by listing all applicable
requirements of the trading programs applicable to each CAIR and CAMR unit
at the source.
(Rule Project Number 2005-046-101-EN)
The commission proposes new §101.601 and §101.602 to incorporate
by reference the model trading rule requirements of the CAMR, and would revise
the FCAA, §111 state plan. CAMR is a federal program promulgated to permanently
cap and reduce mercury emissions from new and existing coal-fired electric
generating units nationwide. HB 2481 directed the commission to meet the CAMR
reduction requirements by incorporating the CAMR model trading rules by reference
and participating in an EPA-administered cap and trade program for annual
mercury emissions.

payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the ticket; provided
that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not, in some cases, required to
pay a $50.00, $100, or $300 ticket. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer

with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the
Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall
be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is
not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified
promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure
described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.
B. To claim a "JOKER’S WILD" Instant Game prize of $1,000, the claimant
must sign the winning ticket and present it at one of the Texas Lottery’s
Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will

presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more,
the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a
rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated
by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be
notified promptly.
C. As an alternative method of claiming a "JOKER’S WILD" Instant
Game prize, the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete
a claim form, and mail both to: Texas Lottery Commission, Post Office Box
16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The risk of sending a ticket remains with
the claimant. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery,
the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.
D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery
shall deduct a sufficient amount from the winnings of a person who has been
finally determined to be:
1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the Comptroller
of Public Accounts, the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission;
2. delinquent in making child support payments administered or collected
by the Office of the Attorney General;

regarding the prize;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the ticket presented
for payment; or
D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise
due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability
for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending
payment of the claim.
2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of
18 years is entitled to a cash prize of less than $600 from the "JOKER’S
WILD" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of
the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount
of the prize payable to the order of the minor.
2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of
more than $600 from the "JOKER’S WILD" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery

for the minor.
2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed
within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game or within the applicable
time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas
Government Code, §466.408. Any prize not claimed within that period and
in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket
shall be forfeited.
2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on
the number of tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a
game may vary based on number of tickets manufactured, testing, distribution,
sales, and number of prizes claimed. An Instant Game ticket may continue to
be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.
3.0 Instant Ticket Ownership.
A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of an
Instant Game ticket in the space designated, a ticket shall be owned by the
physical possessor of said ticket. When a signature is placed on the back
of the ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears
in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any
prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on
a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose
signature appears on the back of the ticket in the space designated. If more
than one name appears on the back of the ticket, the Executive Director will
require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated
by such players to receive payment.
B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Instant
Game tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Instant
Game ticket.
4.0 Number and Value of Instant Prizes. There will be approximately 13,200,000
tickets in the Instant Game No. 673. The approximate number and value of prizes

to comply with, and abide by, these Game Procedures for Instant Game No. 673,
the State Lottery Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 466), applicable rules
adopted by the Texas Lottery pursuant to the State Lottery Act and referenced

Record Drawing Policy Advisory Initial Notice for Stakeholders
The Texas Board of Professional Engineers (Board) is given authority to
issue advisory opinions under Subchapter M, Chapter 1001 of the Occupations
Code (Texas Engineering Practice Act). The Board is required to issue an advisory
opinion about interpretations of the Texas Engineering Practice Act in regard
to a specific existing or hypothetical factual situation if requested by a
person and to respond to that request within 180 days.
Pursuant to that requirement, the Board hereby notifies potential stakeholders
that it has initiated the process to develop an advisory opinion regarding
record drawings. One scenario involves the construction of a subdivision by
a developer. The roads and utilities may be installed prior to being annexed
by or under the jurisdiction of the local municipality and so they may not
be considered public works during construction. However, city officials will
require an engineer to seal the plans, upon annexation. The Board does not
consider documentation of what was actually constructed to be engineering.
If an engineer did not supervise the engineering construction, he will only
be able to attest to the accuracy of the drawings with a notation as to what
he can actually confirm or observe. Therefore, an engineer may include a caveat
on the drawing with a notation as to what he can actually confirm based on
the information he can obtain through observation, interviews, samples, and
other useful information. Due to the nature of the request, we expect to have
input from those agencies or companies that work on subdivisions and others
that may have interest in this topic. The Board has developed a stakeholder
process to gather information from professional engineers, consultants and
other interested parties. The policy advisory will be written with consideration
given to stakeholder comments. This notice is intended to generate a list
of possible stakeholders and to initiate public comment. The Board plans to
schedule a stakeholder meeting in April 2006. Stakeholder contact information
and comments received during the posting period will be considered in the
policy advisory and the scheduling of the stakeholder meeting. Comments and
stakeholder information should be directed to:

Notice of Request for Proposal
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announces a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for intercity bus mobility projects funded through the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) §5311(f) intercity bus program. TxDOT anticipates
that the Texas Transportation Commission will select multiple projects. Project
selection will be administered by the Public Transportation Division (PTN).
Selected projects will be awarded in the form of grants, with payments made
for allowable reimbursable expenses or for defined deliverables. The proposer
will become a subrecipient of TxDOT.
Purpose
: The RPF invites proposals for services
to develop, promote, or support intercity bus mobility. The objectives for
these proposals are to support the connection between nonurbanized areas and
the larger regional or national system of intercity bus service, to support
services to meet the intercity travel needs of residents in nonurbanized areas,
or to support the infrastructure of the intercity bus network through planning,
marketing assistance, and capital investment in facilities. In the process
of meeting these objectives, projects must support and promote the coordination
of public transportation services across geographies, jurisdictions, and program
areas. Coordination between nonurbanized and urbanized areas and between client
transportation services and other types of public transportation are particular
objectives.
Eligible Projects
: Eligible types of projects
have been defined by TxDOT in accordance with FTA guidelines, other laws and
regulations, and in consultation with members of the public transportation
and the intercity bus industries. These include projects for facilities, vehicle
capital, planning, marketing, and operating assistance.
Eligible Applicants
: Proposers shall be required
to enter into a grant agreement as a subrecipient of TxDOT. Eligible subrecipients
include state agencies, local public bodies and agencies, private nonprofit
organizations, operators of public transportation services, and private for-profit
operators.
Availability of Funds
: In accordance with
Transportation Code, Chapter 455, TxDOT currently provides funding for intercity
bus mobility projects, funded through FTA §5311(f) intercity bus program.
Upon full reauthorization of the federal transit appropriations bill, the
total amount available is expected to be $3.9 million dollars.
Work Package
: All proposals must demonstrate
how they address intercity bus mobility needs. To aid proposers in documenting
these needs and developing proposals in response, TxDOT has prepared a work
package of intercity bus inventory data, demographics, and thematic maps.
The work package is available on the PTN website at
http://www.dot.state.tx.us/ptn/geninfo.htm
. The work package represents
the best available data compiled with professional judgment. Data are derived
from multiple sources, some of which are known to be incomplete and inaccurate.
Part of the reason for publishing this work package is to provide the intercity
bus industry with an opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of this compiled
data, propose projects to improve or extend the inventories, and to note discrepancies
and suggest corrections. Documentation of needs must be based on the TxDOT
work package unless an alternative source of data can be demonstrated to be
superior.
Review and Award Criteria
: Proposals will
be evaluated against a matrix of criteria and then prioritized. Subject to
available funding, TxDOT is placing no preconditions on the number or on the
types of projects to be selected for funding. During the evaluation phase
of each proposal, TxDOT reserves the right to conduct formal negotiations
pertaining to a proposer’s initial responses, specifications, and prices.
An approximate balance in funding awarded to the five types of projects, or
an approximate geographic balance of selected projects, may be seen as appropriate,
depending on the proposals that are received. TxDOT may consider these additional
criteria when recommending prioritized projects to the Texas Transportation
Commission.

Invitation for Consultants to Provide Offers of Consulting Services
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2254,
Texas Government Code,
The University of Texas System (the "University")
is currently seeking a marketing/advertising consultant to help brand and
position the University. The University seeks to enhance the public’s
knowledge and understanding of the breadth and scope of The University of
Texas System and its 15 institutions, their impact on the State of Texas in
a variety of areas, including healthcare, the economy, K-16 education, and
research breakthroughs.
The University is looking for a Proposer to provide the assistance the
University requires to conduct research interviews with key audiences and
analyze that data, to conduct media planning, and to draft a creative strategy
that will be used to develop creative concepts.
The Chancellor has made a finding that the Consulting Services are necessary.
While the University has a substantial need for the Consulting Services, the
University does not currently have staff with expertise or experience with
the Consulting Services; and the University cannot obtain such Consulting
Services through a contract with another State governmental entity.
The award for services will be made by the University basing its choice
on demonstrated competence, knowledge and qualifications and on the reasonableness
of the proposed fee for the services; and if other considerations are equal,
the University will give preference to a consultant whose principal place
of business is in the state or who will manage the consulting contract wholly
from an office in the state.
The individual to be contacted with an offer to provide such consulting
services or to obtain a copy of the Invitation for Offers for the consulting
services identified in this invitation is:
