Notice of Availability of the Draft April 2008 Update to the Water Quality Management Plan for the State of Texas

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) announces the availability of the draft April 2008 Update to the Water Quality Management Plan for the State of Texas (draft WQMP update).

The Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is developed and promulgated in accordance with the requirements of federal Clean Water Act, §208. The draft WQMP update includes projected effluent limits of indicated domestic dischargers useful for water quality management planning in future permit actions. Once the commission certifies a WQMP update, the update is submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. For some Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permits, the EPA's approval of a corresponding WQMP update is a necessary precondition to TPDES permit issuance by the commission. The draft WQMP update may contain service area populations for listed wastewater treatment facilities, designated management agency information and total maximum daily load (TMDL) updates.

A copy of the draft April 2008 WQMP update may be found on the commission's Web site located at http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/nav/eq/eq_wqmp.html . A copy of the draft may also be viewed at the TCEQ Library, Building A, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas.

Written comments on the draft WQMP update may be submitted to Nancy Vignali, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division, MC 150, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087.

Department of State Health Services

Notice of Public Meeting

The Department of State Health Services (department) will hold a public meeting to accept public comments on the proposed rules to amend 25 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 97, Subchapter B, §97.61 and §§97.63 - 97.72. The proposed rules are undergoing a required four-year review of rules pursuant to Government Code, §2001.039, and are scheduled for presentation at the June 2008 State Health Services Council meeting.

The public meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, May 12, 2008, in K-100 (Lecture Hall) located at the Department of State Health Services, 1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas 78756. Comment time for each individual will be determined by the total number of persons registered to speak.

To view the proposed changes, please visit the department's Immunization Branch website at the following link: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/rulechange.shtm#public.

The following is a highlight of proposed revisions to the rules for school and child-care facility immunization requirements.

Meningococcal Vaccine.*

-Beginning School Year (SY) 2009 - 2010, 7th grade requirement.

Varicella Vaccine.

-Beginning SY 2009 - 2010, 2 dose requirement for kindergarten and 7th grade entry.

Tdap Vaccine.

-Beginning SY 2009 - 2010, a booster dose requirement for Tdap for 7th grade.

MMR Vaccine.

-Beginning SY 2009 - 2010, 2 dose requirement of MMR vaccine for kindergarten entry.

Hepatitis A Vaccine.

-Beginning SY 2009 - 2010, 2 dose requirement for kindergarten entry statewide.

General revisions are incorporated that clarify or simplify language throughout the rules relating to the school and child care requirements.

*Additional information on Meningococcal Vaccine.

*Meningococcal School Vaccine Requirement Requested . Department rules that specify immunization requirements for school entry are currently undergoing the required four-year review. Stakeholders, including the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Pediatric Society, school nurses, and the Meningitis Angels (an advocacy group) have requested that the department add a middle school entry requirement for meningococcal vaccine to proposed rules for adolescents. Since the rules are open for review, this is an appropriate time to consider this requirement.

*Impact of Meningococcal Disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 1,400 - 2,800 cases of meningococcal disease occur in the United States annually. Transmission is from person to person through direct contact with nose and throat secretions. An infected person can transmit the disease by coughing or sneezing directly into the face of others, kissing a person on the mouth, or sharing a glass or cup. Of those diagnosed with meningococcal disease, 10 to 14 percent die. Eleven to 19 percent of survivors have life-long disabilities such as neurological disability, limb loss, or hearing loss. This disease is communicable, sometimes debilitating and fatal. However, it is preventable and an effective vaccine is recommended by the CDC and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

*Meningococcal Vaccine Availability and Cost . In January 2005, a new meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) was licensed for use among individuals ages 11 - 55 years. In June 2007, the recommendation was revised to include routine vaccination of all persons 11 - 18 years of age with one MCV4 dose at the 11 and 12 year old healthcare visit. (Most 11 and 12 year olds are in 7th grade.) The vaccine is currently $68 per dose and is a one-dose series.

Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs

Request for Proposal for State of Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care

I. Background and Purpose of Balance of State Continuum of Care (CoC) Project

During the 80th Regular Texas Legislative Session, the Legislature appropriated funds for the 2008 and 2009 biennium for the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (the Department or TDHCA) to support the State's effort to assist rural communities in their efforts to access federal Continuum of Care funds. The funds will be used to provide technical assistance to rural homeless coalitions and other entities considering applying under the State's Balance of State CoC Application to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Balance of State areas in Texas include 182 counties, as identified in the Request for Proposals (RFP).

The Department intends to outsource this contract for delivery of the technical assistance and will do so through a Request for Proposals process. The Department will accept proposals from vendors meeting the requirements of the RFP to provide funding to support the delivery of training and technical assistance to units of local government, homeless coalitions or non-profit organizations, that are located in Balance of State areas, applying as an applicant under the State's Balance of State CoC Application for Continuum of Care funds through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

II. Request for Proposals

The Department is seeking proposals to provide training and technical assistance to units of local government, homeless coalitions or non-profit organizations, in Balance of State areas, applying for Continuum of Care funds through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). TDHCA will contract with an entity to provide the training and technical assistance to interested organizations in the Balance of State areas. The purpose of the training and technical assistance will be to assist units of local government, homeless coalitions or non-profit organizations, in Balance of State areas, to successfully compete for HUD CoC funds.

The locations of the training and technical assistance will be contingent on the requests of interested parties. Entities receiving technical assistance from the successful respondent must be located in a Balance of State area.

III. Request for Proposal Qualifications

Vendors responding to this RFP must meet the qualifications of the RFP.

Vendor will provide technical assistance to the coalition responsible for developing and applying under the State's Balance of State CoC Application to be submitted to HUD. Technical assistance will include, but not be limited to, guidance on application requirements to apply for HUD CoC funding, the State's requirement for inclusion in the State's Balance of State CoC Application, limited research assistance, guidance on the development of a system to address the specific needs of each homeless subpopulation including those experiencing chronic homelessness, veterans, persons with serious mental illness, persons with substance abuse issues, persons with HIV/AIDS, persons with co-occurring diagnoses, victims of domestic violence, youth, and any others. Technical assistance will also include guidance on how to conduct homeless counts/surveys, guidance on conducting an inventory of housing and services for homeless families and individuals, guidance on the development of a coordinated effort to fill gaps between the current inventory of services and existing needs, guidance on the prioritization of projects, and on final work leading to submission of CoC application. During the final phase of technical assistance, the vendor is to conduct a review of the draft application and provide pointers to the applicants on revising the application to improve its competitiveness.

The vendor will need to demonstrate the ability to tailor training and technical assistance to the needs of interested parties, as the interested party experience applying for HUD CoC funding will vary widely.

The vendor will be responsible for coordinating its technical assistance personnel's hotel and travel arrangements, providing technical assistance materials, and providing for any audio/visual needs. These items should be considered when preparing the budget.

A report of the training and technical assistance services rendered must be submitted to TDHCA on a monthly basis using a prescribed reporting format.

The vendor will be paid on a reimbursement basis. Payment will be made within 30 calendar days of the completion of each technical assistance session performed in accordance with the contract upon conclusion of the technical assistance and submission of required reports.

IV. Contract Period

The Department anticipates entering into a 12 month contract, beginning August 1, 2008 through approximately July 31, 2009. All projects should be planned for a maximum of 12 months. However, the Department may consider renewing the contract for an additional 12 months if performance requirements are met.

The RFP will be posted on the Department's web-site http://www.tdhca.state.tx.us and organizations on the Department's ESGP interested party list and the Department's list serve will receive an e-mail notification that the RFP is available on the Department's web-site.

Section 301.4531 provides in part for the board to "adopt a schedule of the disciplinary sanctions that the board may impose under this chapter." (See Texas Occupations Code §301.4531(a)). Further, that "the board shall ensure that the severity of the sanction is appropriate to the type of violation or conduct that is the basis for disciplinary action." id. The statutory requirement appears to be the result of Sunset's recommendation no. 7.6 as outlined its December 2006 Decision Material.

At the July 19-20, 2008, Board meeting the Board proposed the adoption of amendments to 22 TAC §213.33 which outlined a schedule of sanctions. The amendments to §213.33 were approved and recommended for adoption by the Eligibility and Disciplinary Task Force on July 13, 2007.

The amended rule was published in the Texas Register on August 17, 2007 (32 TexReg 5143) for a 30-day comment period. The rule was published in Texas Register on October 5, 2007 (32 TexReg 7058) as adopted and became effective on October 10, 2007.

It should be noted, however, that Recommendation 7.6 of the Sunset Commission Decision Material repeatedly used the term "enforcement matrix," rather than "schedule of sanctions" that was adopted by the legislature.

Recommendation 7.6 provides in part:

Require the Board adopt an enforcement matrix in rule.

This recommendation would require the Board to establish, in rule, a matrix to use when determining disciplinary actions for nurses who have violated state law or Board rules. Adopting an enforcement matrix by rule would provide the public with the opportunity to comment on the development of the matrix, and would provide nurses with ready access to the Board's guidelines, allowing them to better understand the potential consequence of violations (emphasis added).

In addition to the adoption of the "schedule of sanctions" as required by HB 2426, the Board has considered the development of a more comprehensive "matrix" as contemplated in the Sunset Decision document.

During the past year, the BON's Eligibility and Disciplinary Task force has been working to development a comprehensive enforcement matrix which can be used to analyze violations of the Nurse Practice Act in a fair and consistent manner with flexibility for determining the most appropriate decision.

The Task force approved the attached Disciplinary Matrix at its last meeting April 4, 2008. It was the task force's recommendation that the Board approve the matrix as a pilot. It may be that implementation of the matrix may lead to unfair or unintended consequences and that use of its guidelines should be tested against the current decision making and Board precedent. All comments to the Pilot Disciplinary Matrix should be submitted to Dusty Johnston, General Counsel, by: mail at 333 Guadalupe, 3-460, Austin, Texas 78701; facsimile at (512) 305-8101; or email at dusty.johnston@bon.state.tx.us.

Notice of Intent - South Padre Island Second Access from SH 100 to PR 100, Cameron County, Texas

Pursuant to 43 TAC §2.5(e)(2), the Texas Department of Transportation (department) in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority (CCRMA) is issuing this notice to advise the public that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for the proposed South Padre Island Second Access project in Cameron County, Texas. Publication of this Notice of Intent (NOI) will serve to rescind a previous NOI published in July 2003 for the same project. The proposed project is being developed cooperatively by the department and CCRMA. Responsibilities for construction, ownership, and operation of the proposed project are currently undetermined but potentially include a public-private partnership through a Comprehensive Development Agreement between a developer and the CCRMA, public toll financing for construction and operation through the CCRMA, or public funding through the department.

As proposed, the South Padre Island Second Access project would link SH 100 on the mainland with PR 100 on South Padre Island. Currently, vehicular access to South Padre Island is limited to the Queen Isabella Memorial Causeway connecting the City of Port Isabel and the Town of South Padre Island. The proposed project would provide a second connection from the Texas mainland to South Padre Island. The proposed project would consist of construction on predominantly new right-of-way. The amount of additional right-of-way to be acquired would depend upon the alternative selected and is not known at this time.

The proposed purpose is: emergency evacuation, economic development, to enhance safety, and to enhance mobility to and from South Padre Island. The proposed project will consider several alternatives intended to satisfy the identified need and purpose. The alternatives will include the no-build alternative, Transportation System Management/Transportation Demand Management, mass transit, and roadway build alternatives. The roadway build alternatives may range from a two-lane to a six-lane road and may include limited access and non-limited access (arterial) designs, and toll and non-toll lanes. Potential alternatives will include, but will not be limited to, the alignments identified by the environmental process initiated by the July 2003 NOI.

The EIS will evaluate potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts from construction and operation of the proposed project including, but not limited to, the following: impacts or displacements to residents and businesses; detours; air and noise impacts from construction equipment and operation of the project; water quality impacts from the construction area and from roadway storm water runoff; impacts to waters of the United States; impacts to historic and archeological resources; impacts to floodplains and irrigation canals; impacts to socio-economic resources (including environmental justice and limited English proficiency populations); land use; regional and local economic interactions; vegetation including seagrass beds, dense thorn-scrub habitat, and riparian vegetation; wildlife; and aesthetic and visual resources. It is anticipated that the proposed project could have potential impacts to waters of the U.S., sea grass habitats, coastal wetlands, and socioeconomic conditions in the area.

The project may require the following approvals:

1. Section 106, National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) - Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), Texas Historical Commission (THC), and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)

2. Navigable Waterway Permit - United States Coast Guard (USCG)

3. Section 404 Clean Water Act and §10 Rivers and Harbors Act - US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

4. Section 7 Endangered Species Act - US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries)

5. Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act - NOAA Fisheries

6. Section 402 Clean Water Act, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) - US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

7. Section 401 Water Quality Certification - Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)

8. Coastal Zone Management Program - General Land Office (GLO)

The approvals required may change after field surveys are completed and an alternative is selected.

A proposed schedule for completion of the environmental review process is not available.

A scoping meeting is an opportunity for participating agencies, cooperating agencies, and the public to be involved in defining the draft need and purpose for the proposed project, the range of alternatives for consideration in the draft EIS, and to comment on the methodologies to evaluate alternatives. A scoping meeting will be held at South Padre Island Municipal Complex, Board of Aldermen Room (2nd Floor), located at 4601 Padre Boulevard, South Padre Island, Texas, at 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Thursday May 22, 2008. The department will publish notice that a scoping meeting will be held.

The department and CCRMA will complete the procedures for public participation and coordination with other agencies as described in one or both the National Environmental Policy Act and state law. In addition to any scoping meetings, the department and CCRMA will hold a series of meetings to solicit public comment during the environmental review process. They will be held during appropriate phases of the project development process. Public notices will be given stating the date, time, and location of the meeting or hearing and will be published in English as well as Spanish. Provision will be made for those with special communication needs, including translation if requested. Correspondence will be sent to federal, state, and local agencies, and to organizations and individuals who have previously expressed or are known to have an interest in the project, which will describe the proposed project and solicit comments. Comments and suggestions from all interested parties are invited to ensure that the full range of issues related to the proposed project are identified and addressed. Comments or questions concerning this proposed action should be directed to the Agency Contacts listed below.

Agency Contact: Comments or questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be sent to: Mario Jorge, P.E., TxDOT Pharr District Engineer, P.O. Box 1717, Pharr, TX 78577, (956) 702-6100. The contact person for Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority is: Pete Sepulveda, Jr., CCRMA Coordinator, CCRMA, 1100 E. Monroe St., Brownsville, TX 78520, (956) 982-5414.
