Texas Air Control Board Notice of Contested Case Hearing Number 286 An examiner for the Texas Air Control Board (TACB) will conduct a contested case hearing to consider whether or not a permit should be issued to Phillips 66 Company (the applicant) to construct a mercaptan loading dock located at the Phillips Petroleum Refinery, Spur 119 North (2 miles north of Borger), Hutchinson County. Deadline for Requesting to be a Party. At the hearing, only those persons admitted as parties and their witnesses will be allowed to participate. Presently, the only prospective parties are the applicant and the TACB staff. Any person who may be affected by emissions from the proposed facility who wants to be made a party must send a specific written request for party status to Hearings Examiner Cindy Hurd and make sure that this request is actually received at the TACB Central Office, 12124 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753 by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, 1991. The examiner cannot grant party status after deadline, unless there is good cause for the request arriving late. Hearing requests, comments, or other correspondence sent to the TACB before publication of this notice will not be considered as a request for party status. The examiner will decide on party status at the prehearing conference. Prehearing Conference.

Swanger Hearing Examiner, Legal Division-General Law Railroad Commission of Texas Filed: September 11, 1991 For further information, please call: (512) 463-6766 ' Office of the Secretary of State Voter Registration Certificate DIRECTIVE TO: Voter Registrars and Elections Administrators FROM: John Hannah, Jr., Secretary of State SUBJECT: Voter Registration Certificate AUTHORITY: Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.31.002 and sec.31.003 (Vernon 1986) EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31, 1991 SUPERCEDED DIRECTIVE: Secretary of State Directive of July 11, 1989 1. SUMMARY AND PURPOSE 1.1 In accordance with the provisions of Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.31.003 (Vernon 1986), this directive establishes the requirements for Voter Registrars to issue Voter Registration Certificates. 2. DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFICATE 2.1. NO CHANGES AUTHORIZED UNLESS APPROVED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE. The certificate has been designed to meet the content requirements of Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.sec.15.001, 15.002 & 15.003 (Vernon 1986 & Supp. 1991); bilingual requirements of the Federal Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C.A. sec.1973aa-1a (West 1981 & Supp. 1991); the mailing requirements of Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.sec.14.001 & 14.002 (Vernon 1986 & Supp. 1991); and regulations of the United States Postal Service regarding size, thickness of paper, address placement, and postage. Various other exigencies such as horizontal and vertical spacing for computers and typewriters, etc., have also been taken into account. To avoid any possible violations of state or federal law, no change in the specifications for the certificate as provided for in this directive may be made without prior written approval by this office. The Secretary of State has authorized Voter Registrars to place district numbers (e.g., congressional, senatorial, representative, justice of the peace, fire, school, or water district numbers) on the certificate for voter information. The Secretary of State recommends that the local postmaster approve the placement of district numbers on the certificate prior to printing. Any combination of district numbers may be chosen by the Voter Registrar for inclusion on the certificate without prior approval. The Secretary of State has also authorized the printing of the certificate number in a barcode format in addition to the printing of the certificate number in a numeric value. The numeric value of the number must be printed in the box provided for the certificate number. The barcoded number may be placed anywhere on the card as long as it does not interfere with postal regulations, and nothing is deleted from the card as prescribed. It is recommended that you use a universal product barcode rather than the type of barcode that is used for zip codes. Once again, for placement of a barcoded certificate number, coordinate the print with your postmaster to ensure it does not interfere with other postal requirements. 2.2. SIZE. The postcard certificate must be no smaller than 3 1/2" x 6" and no larger than 4" x 6". When the top portion of the certificate is folded down, the folded card will measure 2 1/2" x 3", which is wallet-sized. 2.3. COLOR AND PAPER SPECIFICATIONS. The color for the 1992-1993 certificate is blue. The stock to be ordered is white 90# Scott Index or equivalent. To meet postal requirements, the paper must be at least .007" thick and not more than . 0095" thick. When paper is manufactured, there can be a variance in the thickness of the paper, so be sure to state in your specifications that the paper must meet postal requirements for calibration. The front side of the certificate is to be printed with PMS 290U which is a blue colored ink. The language on the certificate will be in black ink. Using the PMS ink to "color" the paper will ensure that all certificates are printed uniformly across the state. The back side of the certificate may be either printed with the PMS color or left white. The sample attached shows the area that is to be printed in PMS 290U blue at 100% solid. Specific colors are used to designate the period for which the certificate is valid. They are as follows: 1992-1993 Blue 1994-1995 Canary 1996-1997 Green 1998-1999 Salmon 2.4. FORMAT. The Voter Registrar's name, telephone number, and return address must be printed in the upper left-hand corner above the dotted line. Section 122. 17 of the Domestic Mail Manual ("D.M.M.") requires the postal endorsement "DO NOT FORWARD" or "ADDRESS CORRECTION REQUESTED" to be placed 1/4" below the return address. The word "Postmaster" is NOT used in conjunction with the endorsement. See section 3 of this Directive for further discussion. "Secretary of State's Office, Elections Division" and the Secretary of State's toll-free number (1-800-252-8683) must be printed directly across from the Voter Registrar's name and address as indicated on the attached sample card. The name of the Voter Registrar's county must be printed directly below the words "Voter Registration Certificate", as indicated on the attached sample card. The state seal is placed to the left of the name of the county. 2.5. CERTIFICATE NUMBER. Use the certificate number already assigned to the voter. 2.6. VALID FROM-THRU. The "VALID FROM" date on all renewal certificates issued to registered voters is JANUARY 1, 1992. The certificate will expire on the last day of December, 1993, and that date shall appear on the certificate below "THRU." See section 3.3 of this Directive for the period for mailing renewal certificates. New registrants whose applications are received and accepted after the 30TH DAY BEFORE JANUARY 1, 1992, will be issued an initial certificate, and the "VALID FROM" date on the certificate is the same as the effective date of registration. Renewal certificates need not be issued in this instance. See Section 5 of this Directive for information regarding new registrants whose registrations will be effective on or after NOVEMBER 15, 1991, but before JANUARY 1, 1992. For a voter who changes his or her name or changes his or her address to another precinct within the county, the "VALID FROM" date on the corrected certificate is the date the change becomes effective. These changes become effective on the 30th day after the registrar receives notice of the change. Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.sec.15.025 & 15.026 (Vernon 1986). For a voter who changes his or her address within the same precinct in the county, the "VALID FROM" date on the corrected certificate is the same as the date on the renewal certificate. There is no 30-day processing period before this kind of change becomes effective. For a voter who returns his or her certificate for correction for the date of birth on the certificate, the "VALID FROM" date of the corrected certificate is the same as the original renewal certificate. If a registered voter requests a replacement certificate because his or her original certificate has been lost or destroyed, the "VALID FROM" date on the replacement certificate is the same as the date on the certificate that is being replaced. The replacement certificate must have a notation that it is a replacement certificate. 2.7. INFORMATION ON CERTIFICATE. The voter's name, sex, birthdate, and election precinct number must be indicated on the certificate, as well as the permanent residence address (and the mailing address, if these two addresses are different). The mailing address is to be printed on the right-hand side of the card. The permanent residence address or a concise description of the location of the permanent residence must be printed on the left-hand portion of the certificate. If the complete descriptive address will not fit on the certificate, the address may be truncated. If the Voter Registrar does not have a birthdate on file for the voter, the Voter Registrar must print 00/00/0000 in the space provided for the birthdate. 2.8. CORRECTIONS. The prescribed language on the back of the certificate instructs the voter to correct information on the front of the card (including birthdate) by making corrections in the space provided on the back of the certificate. 2.9. PARTY AFFILIATION. The space for stamping party affiliation is placed vertically on the front of the certificate. 2.10. AREA FOR POSTAL INFORMATION. The right half of the front of the certificate must be left blank, except for mailing address and postage. See section 2.1 of the Directive for exception. 2.11. BACK OF CERTIFICATE. Part of the text on the back of the certificate is required by law. Id. sec.15.001 (Vernon Supp. 1991). The other part of the text is authorized, but not required, by Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.15.002 (Vernon 1986). The Secretary of State by this directive requires that the information authorized by Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.15.002 (Vernon 1986) be printed on the back of the certificate, as shown on the attached sample. Changes in the prescribed text are not permitted without prior written approval of this office. 3. MAILING OF CERTIFICATE 3.1. POSTAGE. The Voter Registration mails the certificate with first class postcard postage rate or, if mailed in an envelope, first class letter postage rate. The Election Code requires that the certificate be mailed by nonforwardable mail. Id. sec.14.002(b) (Vernon 1986). In no case may the voter's tax statement be included in the same envelope. Section 159.151 of the D.M.M. provides for the endorsement to the postmaster on the certificate. The endorsement must be printed in at least 8 pt Helvetica or similar type and must appear at least 1/4" below the Voter Registrar's return address. There must also be a 1/4" clear space below the endorsement. The attached sample of the certificate shows the correct placement of the endorsement. The certificate will be returned free of charge to the Voter Registrar when mailed at either first class postcard or first class letter rate. The Voter Registrar may also receive an address correction at no charge when the certificate is returned with the endorsement "ADDRESS CORRECTION REQUESTED" or "DO NOT FORWARD". Both endorsements will give you a new address for the voter or a reason for nondelivery when the certificate is returned. There is no charge for this service, since the new address will appear on the original mail piece. The address correction may not be used to challenge and cancel the voter under Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.16.033(e) (Vernon 1986) unless the registrar has reason to believe that the voter is not eligible for registration because of a change of residence to a place outside the county or for some other reason. The Voter Registrar may, however, as a courtesy, use the address correction to notify the voter that his or her certificate was returned and advise him or her of the procedures to be used to correct the address, with a notice that the registration will be cancelled on AUGUST 16, 1992, if the address has not been corrected prior to that time. If an envelope is used to mail the voter registration certificate, the instruction to the postmaster, "DO NOT FORWARD", must be printed on the front of the envelope at least 1/4" below the return address of the Voter Registrar. There must also be a clear space of 1/4" below the endorsement. The postage must be paid from the county's budget. The Secretary of State is not authorized to pay for the mailing of the certificates. Funds received under Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.sec.19.001-19.006 (Vernon 1986 & Supp. 1991), may not be used for payment of postage for mailing certificates. Funds received from the Secretary of State and maintained by the Voter Registrar or Post Office in the voter registration application business reply account (Permit 4511) may not be used in any circumstances to pay for mailing voter registration certificates. The certificates may be mailed at a lower first class postage rate, e.g., by carrier route, zip plus four, or barcoding the zip code. The Secretary of State authorizes an additional blank area on the bottom of the certificate if it is used to place a barcode for the zip code. However, new postal regulations now allow the barcode to be placed in the area for the mailing address alleviating the necessity for a blank area on the bottom of the certificate. Please have your local postmaster approve any format changes you make so mailing can occur at a lower postage rate. You will want to discuss the number of certificates that are required to qualify for discounted postage prior to any changes. 3.2. POSTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR POSTCARDS. If the certificates will be mailed as postcards rather than in envelopes, certain postal requirements must be met. Any preprinted information on the right hand side of the card must be shaded (See attached sample certificate and sec.322.31(h) & (i), D.M.M.) The area reserved for the address is white and must be at least 2 1/8 inches long and 1 inch high. If you plan to place district numbers on the certificate as authorized by section 2.1 of this Directive, please have your local postmaster approve placement of this information. The U.S. Post Office requires all certificates mailed as postcards to be presorted. (See sec.sec.3.22 & 323.1, D.M.M.). 3.3. COORDINATION WITH LOCAL POSTAL AUTHORITIES. The Voter Registrar should coordinate with the local postmaster before the mailing date. Postal regulations have become very complicated, and we highly recommend that you have your certificate approved by the local postmaster prior to printing. 3.4. MAILING DATE. The Voter Registrar shall issue a voter registration renewal certificate to each voter in the county whose registration is effective on the preceding NOVEMBER 14. The mailing shall occur between NOVEMBER 15 and DECEMBER 5 of each odd-numbered year. 4. DUPLICATE CERTIFICATES. 4.1. DUPLICATE CERTIFICATE FILES. Since the Voter Registrar will already have duplicate certificates on file for voters registered as of NOVEMBER 14, it is not necessary to produce the mass mailout certificates in duplicate if the Voter Registrar can verify that he or she mailed a new certificate to each voter on the list. Tex. Elec. Code Ann. sec.15.051 (Vernon 1986) requires a duplicate certificate file for the INITIAL registration only. The following procedures will provide for verification of mailing in compliance with this section. 4.2. FOR COUNTIES WITHOUT DATA PROCESSING CAPABILITIES. Each duplicate certificate already in the Voter Registrar's file should be marked with a rubber stamp to show the years for which the renewal certificate is valid and the date the renewal certificate was mailed. For example "1992-93 Certificate, mailed 11- 15-91". [graphic] Issued in Austin, Texas, on September 12, 1991.
