13 TAC §§3.2, 3.3, 3.6
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission adopts
amendments to 13 TAC §§3.2, 3.3 and 3.6, regarding the State
Publications Depository Program, without changes to the proposed text
as published in the April 24, 2009, issue of the
Texas Register (34 TexReg 2579).
The revisions require state agencies to print the date of issuance
on their publications. For publications that are available on the
agency's website as well as in print, agencies are required to include
the publications' internet locations on the printed documents and
on a form that is submitted to the program. The rules also add clarification
to the existing language of the rule that exempts certain items from deposit.
No comments were received during the comment period.
The amendments are adopted under Government Code §441.102,
which authorizes the commission to establish procedures for distribution
of state publications to depository libraries and to establish a system
to provide access to publications in electronic format and §441.105,
which authorizes the commission to exempt publications from the program.
The amendments affect Government Code §§441.101 - 441.106.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been
reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the
agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on June 12, 2009.
