Part II. Texas Historical Commission

Chapter 26. Practice and Procedure

13 TAC §26.2, §26.17

The Texas Historical Commission adopts amendments to §26.2 and §26.17, without changes to the proposed text as published in the November 27, 1998 issue of the Texas Register (23 TexReg 11881).

These changes were needed to clarify issues related to the protection of State Archeological Landmarks, and to provide a mechanism by which permit holders may potentially be granted additional extensions on the due dates for permits that are issued to them.

No comments were received regarding adoption of these amendments

The amendments are adopted under Section 442.005(q), Title 13 Part II of the Texas Government Code, and Section 191.052 of the Texas Natural Resources Code, which provides the Texas Historical Commission with the authority to promulgate rules and conditions to reasonably effect the purposes of this chapter.

These adopted rule amendments implement Section 442.005(b) of the Texas Government Code and Section 191.051 of the Texas Natural Resources Code.

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 March 26, 1999.
