Bacarisse Executive Director Texas Bond Review Board Filed: December 31, 1993 Bi-Weekly Report on the 1994 Allocation of the State Ceiling on Certain Private Activity Bonds-First Report The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the Tax Act) imposes a volume ceiling on the aggregate principle amount of tax-exempt, private activity bonds that may be issued within the State of Texas during any calendar year. The state ceiling for Texas, imposed by the Tax Act is $50 per capita. The Bureau of the Census issued a release on December 29, 1993, containing resident population estimates as of July 1, 1993. Given a resident population in Texas of 18,031, 000, the state ceiling for calendar year 1994 is $901,550,000. State legislation, Texas Civil Statutes, Article 5190.9a (the Act), mandates the allocation process for the State of Texas. The Act specifies that 28% of the state ceiling is to be made available to issuers of qualified mortgage bonds and of that amount, one-third is available to the Housing Finance Division of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and two-thirds is available for local issuers. Issuers of state-voted issues will have 17.5% of the state ceiling available. Issuers of qualified small issue bonds will have 7.5% of the state ceiling available. Issuers of qualified residential rental project issue bonds will have 5.0% of the state ceiling available. All other issuers of bonds requiring an allocation will have 42% of the state ceiling available. Pursuant to the Act, the aggregate amount for qualified mortgage bonds in Subceiling 1 is $252,434,000 with $168,289,333 available to local issuers and $84,144,667 available to the Housing Finance Division of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The aggregate amount for state-voted issues in Subceiling 2 is $157,771,250, the amount for qualified small issues in Subceiling 3 is $67,616,250, the amount for qualified residential rental project issues in Subceiling 4 is $45,077,500, and the amount for all other issues requiring an allocation in Subceiling 5 is $378,651,000. Generally, the state ceiling is allocated by lottery for applications received from January 2-10, and thereafter on a first-come, first-served basis. The Texas Bond Review Board administers the allocation system. Issued in Austin, Texas, on December 29, 1993. TRD-9334120 Albert L.

Steeg General Counsel, Office of General Counsel Texas Department of Health Filed: December 30, 1993 Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission Correction of Error The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission proposed amendments to 30 TAC sec.sec.281.1, 281.2, 281.22, 281.30-281.32. The Rules appeared in the December 21, 1993, Texas Register (18 TexReg 9824). Due to an error in the agency's submission the rules contained errors. In the preamble on page 9825, in the second column, on line 17, a sentence was omitted. After the word "the" please add "commission can "provide for priority consideration in permit". The sentence should read "(...TSWDA sec.361. 0871(c)) is so that the commission can "provide for priority consideration in permit processing...". On page 9828 under sec.281.32(e)(1)(B), in the second column, the citation on the last line is incorrect. The cite should be "sec.361.023". On page 9829 in the second column, under Chapter 305.149, portion of the preamble was omitted. The omitted text is as follows: "Proposed sec.305.149, regarding construction and operating schedules for commercial hazardous waste management facilities, specifies timeframes within which the scheduled action must occur. This section applies to all commercial hazardous waste facility permits issued after the effective date. All unbuilt processing or disposal units, including proposed and previously permitted units, covered by a permit issued after the effective date would be subject to this section. The purpose of this proposed section is for commercial operators to provide the commission with a written schedule for construction and operation of processing or disposal units, and for the operator to notify the commission when the schedule is modified. This information is needed in order for the state to reasonably project when commercial processing or disposal capacity will be coming on-line or if the permittee no longer intends to construct the capacity. The section proposes to allow the operator to modify the original schedule detailed in the permit application by submitting a Class 1 point=5.02p set=5.02p modification to the commission for executive director approval. It is suggested that applicants, when developing the original schedule in the permit application, present the timeframes in terms of months or quarters after permit issuance or other final action, in order to avoid unnecessary modifications to the original schedule because of permit hearings or delays beyond that anticipated by the applicant. Proposed subsection (d) of this section specifies a procedure whereby if the permittee does not receive a written response from the executive director within 90 days of submittal of a proposed modified schedule, then the proposed modified schedule would be in effect until a written response is received by the permittee".

Regional solid waste management plans are required by the Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 363 (Comprehensive Municipal Solid Waste Management, Recovery, and Conservation Act, 1990) for each of the established regional planning agencies (COGs) in the state, which have been officially designated as solid waste management planning regions. The H-GAC region includes the counties of Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Walker, Waller, and Wharton. The plan describes current solid waste management efforts in the region, assesses problems and needs, and provides recommendations for future action. The plan was developed with the input of a solid waste management task force composed of various public and private interests; meetings of this task force were open to the general public. In addition, public meetings concerning the plan were held in each of H-GAC's counties. A formal public hearing was conducted by H-GAC, in accordance with guidelines of TNRCC. Immediately upon adoption by TNRCC, the plan will have rule status. Subchapter O of Municipal Solid Waste Regulations (sec.330.568) will be amended at a later date to include, by reference, all adopted regional solid waste management plans in the state. The interested public is invited to submit written comments on the proposed regional plan to the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission. Written comments must be received by no later than 30 days from the publication date of this notice. Please address comments to: Daniel J.
