Title 43, Part 3
The Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA) proposes to review Title 43 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 57, Automobile Theft Prevention Authority, in accordance with Texas Government Code, §2001.039.
Review of the rules under this chapter will determine whether the reason for adoption of the rules continues to exist. During the review process, ATPA may also determine that a specific rule may need to be amended to further refine ATPA’s legal and policy considerations, whether the rules reflect current ATPA procedures, that no changes to a rule as currently in effect are necessary, or that a rule is no longer valid or applicable. Rules may also be combined or reduced for simplification and clarity when feasible. Readopted rules will be noted in the Texas Register's Rules Review section without publication of the text. Any proposed amendments or repeal of a rule or chapter as a result of the review will be published in the Proposed Rules section of the Texas Register and will be open for an additional 30-day public comment period prior to final adoption or repeal.
The Automobile Theft Prevention Authority invites comments during the review process for 30 days following the publication of this notice in the Texas Register . Any questions or comments pertaining to this notice of intention to review should be directed to Susan Sampson, Director, Automobile Theft Prevention Authority, 4000 Jackson Avenue, Austin, Texas 78731 within 30 days of publication.
