Pursuant to Title 2, Chapters 22 and 32, of the Human Resources Code and 40 TAC §19.2324, in the May 22, 1998, issue of the Texas Register (23 TexReg. 5450), the Texas Department of Human Services (TDHS) is announcing an open solicitation period of 30 days (starting the date of this public notice) for the construction of a 90-bed nursing facility in Clay County, County #039, identified in the May 21, 1999 issue of the Texas Register (24 TexReg 3881), where Medicaid contracted nursing facility occupancy rates exceed the threshold (90% occupancy) in each of six months in the continuous period of August 1998 through January 1999. The county occupancy rate for each month of that period was: 97.5%, 93.1%, 93.2%, 90.9%, 94.5%, 91.7%. Potential contractors seeking to construct a 90-bed nursing facility in a high-occupancy area must demonstrate a history of quality care, as specified in §19.2322(g)(4) of this title (relating to Allocation, Reallocation and Decertification Requirements). This rule does not elimate a new potential NFO who has no history of providing care. The NFO must submit a written reply (as described in 40 TAC §19.2324) to TDHS, Joe D. Armstrong, Facility Enrollment Section, Long Term Care-Regulatory, Mail Code (E-342), P.O. Box 149030, Austin, Texas 78714-9030. The written reply must be received by TDHS before the close of business August 9, 1999, the published ending date of the open solicitation period. Potential contractors who reply as specified above will be allowed 90 days to qualify. To qualify, potential contractors must demonstrate an intent and ability to begin construction of a facility and complete contracting within specified time frames. They must submit a letter of application to TDHS with the following documentation: First, there must be acceptable written documentation showing the ownership of or an option to buy the land on which the proposed facility is or will be located. Second, documentation must include a letter of finance from a financial institution. Third, documentation must include a signed agreement stating that, if selected, the potential contractor will pay liquidated damages if either the 12-month and/or the 24-month deadline(s) described in 40 TAC §19.2324(10) are not met. The signed agreement must also require the potential contractor to provide, within ten working days after the date of selection, a surety bond or other financial guarantee acceptable to TDHS ensuring payment in the event of default. If the 12-month deadline is not met, liquidated damages are 5.0% of the estimated total cost of the proposed or completed facility. If the 24-month deadline is not met, liquidated damages are an additional 5.0% of the estimated total cost of the proposed or completed facility. If two or more potential contractors become eligible to be qualified during the open solicitation period, there will be a lottery selection. Each application must be complete at the time of its receipt. If no potential contractors submit replies during this open solicitation period, TDHS will place another public notice in the Texas Register announcing the reopening of the open solicitation period until a potential contractor replies.

US STEEL CORPORATION (TEXAS WORKS), located at 5200 East McKinney Road, approximately 0.75 miles east of FM 1405 on approximately 740 acres near Baytown, Chambers County, Texas, has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for renewal of hazardous waste permit HW-50192. The applicant operated a steel manufacturing plant, which is closed, that produced steel products. The permit would authorize the continued post closure care of the closed industrial hazardous waste landfill. The Executive Director of the TNRCC has prepared a draft permit which, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) in accordance with the regulations of the Coastal Coordination Council and has determined that the action is consistent with the applicable CMP goals and policies.

This notice satisfies the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S. 6901 et seq. and 40 CFR 124.10. Once the final permit decisions of the TNRCC and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are effective regarding this facility, they will implement the requirements of RCRA as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). The final permit decision will also implement the federally authorized State requirements. The TNRCC and EPA have entered into a joint permitting agreement whereby permits will be issued in Texas in accordance with the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Texas Health and Safety Code Ann., Chapter 361 and RCRA, as amended. In order for the applicant to have a fully effective RCRA permit, both the TNRCC and EPA must issue the permit. All permit provisions are fully enforceable under State and Federal law. The State of Texas has not received full HSWA authority. Areas in which the TNRCC has not been authorized by EPA are denoted in the draft permit with an asterisk (*). Persons wishing to comment or request a hearing on a HSWA requirement denoted with an asterisk (*) in the draft permit should also notify in writing, Chief, RCRA Permits Branch, EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. EPA will accept hearing requests submitted to the TNRCC.

TEXAS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENTAL STATION has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for a permit renewal of hazardous waste permit HW-50367, to continue the scientific experiment designed to establish credible and scientifically sound information on the utility of bioremediation for oil-contaminated sandy/silty shorelines. The research project site is at Parker's Cove Bioremediation Field Testing Facility, Interstate I-10 and San Jacinto River on approximately 5.76 acres in Channelview, Harris County, Texas. The Executive Director of the TNRCC has prepared a draft permit which, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The facility is located in an area subject to the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP). This hazardous waste permit renewal application is for a research, demonstration, and development facility. The project study involves the application of a weathered oil onto plots within a wetland near the spring high tide line. Due to the nature of this permit, the agency has determined that strict compliance with the applicable requirements of 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapters 335 and 305 which are consistent with and satisfy the requirements of the CMP is not foreseeable and would preclude the option of research.

Written public comments and requests for a public meeting should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address provided in the information section below, within 45 days of the date of newspaper publication of the notice. A public meeting is intended for the taking of public comment, and is not a contested case hearing. A public meeting will be held if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested in writing by an affected person within 45 days of the date of newspaper publication of the notice.

The TNRCC may grant a contested case hearing on this application if a written hearing request is filed within 45 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice. The Executive Director may approve the application unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed.

To request a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, daytime phone number, and fax number, if any; (2) applicant's name and permit number; (3) the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing;" (4) a brief and specific description of how you would be affected by the granting of the application in a way not common to the general public; and (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the proposed activity. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns. Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address provided in the information section below.

If a hearing request is filed, the Executive Director will not issue the permit and will forward the application and hearing request to the TNRCC Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. If a contested case hearing is held, it will be a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court.

Written hearing requests, public comments, or requests for a public meeting should be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TNRCC, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087. For information concerning the hearing process, please contact the Office of Public Interest Counsel, MC 103, the same address as above. Individual members of the general public may contact the Office of Public Assistance, c/o Office of the Chief Clerk, at the address above, or by calling 1-800-687-4040 to: (a) review or obtain copies of available documents (such as draft permit, technical summary, and application); (b) inquire about the information in this notice; or (a) inquire about other agency permit applications or permitting processes.

Travis Building, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701. Project Number 21030, Amendments to Substantive Rule §§26.23, 26.24 and 26.28 Regarding Limitations on Local Telephone Service Disconnections (SB 86, PURA §55.012), has been established for this proceeding. The purpose of this workshop is to solicit input from interested parties that will assist in rulemakings necessary to implement the provisions of Senate Bill 86, 76th Legislature (1999) PURA §55.012, Limitations on Discontinuance of Basic Local Telecommunications Service. These provisions: (1) prohibit discontinuance of basic local service for nonpayment of long distance charges, (2) require that payment first be applied to local service, (3) require that the commission adopt and implement rules that require a local service provider to offer and implement toll blocking to limit long distance charges after nonpayment for long distance service, and that include provisions regarding fraudulent activity, which would allow a provider to discontinue local service, and (4) provide the commission authority to establish a maximum price that an incumbent local exchange company may charge a long distance service provider for toll blocking. The commission requests interested persons file comments to the following questions:

1. Should a provider be prohibited from refusing basic local service to an applicant for the nonpayment of long distance charges?

2. Should a provider be allowed to toll block up front when providing initial service to an applicant who has not established satisfactory credit?

3. Should a provider be prohibited from including estimated billings for long distance service in determining the deposit amount required from an applicant?

4. What is the current practice regarding toll block usage and charges?

5. What provisions should be adopted relating to toll block usage and charges?

a. When may a provider toll block?

b. When should a provider be required to toll block?

c. When may a provider charge a customer for toll blocking?

6. Are there technical issues or concerns that limit the effectiveness of toll blocking that should be considered during this rulemaking?

7. Is there still a need for Substantive Rule §26.29, Prepaid Local Telephone Service (PLTS)?

8. What activities would be regarded as fraudulent and allow a provider to discontinue local service?

9. How should the maximum price that an incumbent local exchange company may charge a long distance service provider for toll blocking be established?

10. What specific changes should be made to Substantive Rules §26.28, Suspension or Disconnection of Service, §26.23; Refusal of Service; and §26.24, Credit Requirements and Deposits?

11. What specific changes should be made to any additional substantive rules not listed in the previous question?

12. Are there any additional factors that should be considered in this rulemaking process?

The commission request workshop participants come prepared to discuss these questions. Workshop participants and interested persons are also requested to file written comments in response to the questions the same day as the workshop. Responses may be filed by submitting 16 copies to the commission's Filing Clerk, Public Utility Commission of Texas, 1701 North Congress Avenue, PO Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326 on July 19, 1999.
