Title 4, Part 1
The Texas Department of Agriculture (the department) adopts the review of Title 4, Texas Administrative Code, Part 1, Chapter 3, Subchapters A - J, concerning Boll Weevil Eradication Program, pursuant to the Texas Government Code, §2001.039, and readopts all sections in Chapter 3, Subchapters A - J, with amendments proposed to the chapter in the department's notice of intent to review. The notice of intent to review was published in the May 30, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 4347). No comments were received on the proposal.
Section 2001.039 requires state agencies to review and consider for readoption each of their rules every four years. The review must include an assessment of whether the original justification for the rules continues to exist. As part of the review process, the department proposed amendments to Chapter 3, Subchapter B, §3.20, relating to Statement of Purpose and Role of the Department, and the repeal of §3.21, relating to Rule Consistency and Approval. The proposed amendments and repeal were also published in the May 30, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 4282). No comments were received on the proposal.
The assessment of Title 4, Texas Administrative Code, Part 1, Chapter 3, Subchapters A - J, by the department at this time, indicates that, with the addition of the adopted amendments to §3.20 and the repeal of §3.21, the reason for readopting without changes all sections in Chapter 3, Subchapters A - J, continues to exist.
