The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is submitting a Medicaid
state plan amendment to establish the reimbursement methodology for state
owned veterans nursing facilities. The veterans nursing facility per diem
payment rates are facility specific, prospective rates with a retrospective
reconciliation. This reimbursement methodology is proposed pursuant to House
Bill Number 1, 77th Legislature, Article II, §56, which instructs HHSC
to establish Medicaid reimbursement rates for Medicaid- eligible veterans
who reside in state veterans nursing facilities.
The proposed rates for state veterans nursing facilities for state fiscal
year 2002 are as follows: Big Spring, $125.44; Bonham, $127.24; Floresville,
$121.43; and Temple, $105.78. The proposed rates were determined in accordance
with the proposed rate setting methodology for state veterans nursing facilities
to be codified at 1 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 355, subchapter
C (relating to Reimbursement Methodology for Nursing Facilities), §355.309.
If the proposed methodology and rates are approved, the increase to the
nursing facility program in aggregate annual expenditure for state fiscal
year 2002 resulting from these changes is estimated to be $366,664.
To obtain copies of the draft reimbursement methodology, interested parties

Correction of Error
The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) published a
"Notice of Public Hearing on the Publication of a State Registry" in the July
27, 2001, issue of the
Texas Register
(26
TexReg 5703).
Due to an error by TNRCC, the title was incorrect. The correct title should
read, "Notice of Public Meeting Regarding the Proposal of the Melton Kelly
Site (Navarro County) to the State Superfund Registry and the Proposed Future
Land Use for the Site".
TRD-200104394
The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC or commission) is issuing a notice of deletion (delisting) of the Thompson
Hayward Chemical Company (the Site) from the State Registry, the list of State
Superfund sites. The State Registry lists the contaminated sites which may
constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety
or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances
into the environment.
The commission is delisting the Site because the site has been accepted
into the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup Program.
The Site was originally proposed for listing on the State Registry on September
25, 1990. The Site, including all land, structures, appurtenances, and other
improvements, is approximately 4.74 acres located at U.S. Route 277 South,
in Munday, Knox County, Texas. In addition, the Site includes any areas where
hazardous substance(s) came to be located as a result, either directly or
indirectly, of releases of hazardous substance(s) from the Site.
From the mid-1950s through the 1960s, the Site was used as a small-scale
pesticide formulation and distribution facility. Structures on the site include
metal, brick and wood buildings, three pesticide mixing pits, concrete foundations,
and a railroad spur. Commercial operations began in 1957 with the formulation
and distribution of pesticides. Dry pesticide formulations and blending of
liquid pesticides were accomplished in separate pits inside the buildings.
Arsenic and organochlorine pesticides have been found at the site.
The Site has been accepted into the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup Program and
therefore is eligible for deletion from the State Registry as provided by
30 TAC §335.344(c).
T. H. Agriculture & Nutrition, L.L.C. (THAN) conducted a remedial investigation
and prepared a response action plan (RAP) under an agreed administrative order
with the commission. Response actions were developed for soil, debris, and
shallow groundwater. THAN plans to remediate the Site under the Texas Risk
Reduction Program (TRRP) Remedy Standard B based on a commercial/industrial
land use designation.
The response action described in the RAP consists of excavation and disposal
of all soils contaminated with arsenic and organochlorine pesticides at concentration
exceeding the TRRP protective concentration limits established for the site.
Miscellaneous debris will also be excavated and disposed at an appropriate
permitted offsite facility. The RAP describes how a deed notice will be filed
with the real property records of Knox County to the effect that the site
be restricted to commercial/industrial uses. The RAP also includes groundwater
monitoring and restrictions on the use of the shallow groundwater. The response
action described in the RAP will be conducted under the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup
Program.
After the response action described in the RAP is completed, conditions
at the site will be appropriate for commercial/industrial uses, but will not
be appropriate for residential uses. In accordance with Texas Health and Safety
Code (THSC), §361.188(d), a notice will be filed in the real property
records of Knox County, Texas stating that the Site has been deleted from
the State Registry.
In accordance with §335.344(b), the commission held a public meeting
to receive comments on the intended deletion of the Site on May 25, 2001,
at 10:00 a.m., located at Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission,
12100 Park 35 Circle, Building C, Room 131E, Austin, Texas. There were no
comments at the public meeting. The complete public file, including a transcript
of the public meeting, may be viewed during regular business hours at the
commission's Records Management Center, Building D, North Entrance, Room 190,
12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, telephone numbers (800) 633-9363
or (512) 239-2920. Fees are charged for photocopying file information.
Because the Site has been accepted into the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup Program,
it may now be delisted from the State Registry as provided by THSC, §361.189(a)
and 30 TAC §335.344(c).
All inquiries regarding the deletion of the Site should be directed to
Mr. Jeffrey E. Patterson, Project Manager, Remediation Division, telephone
numbers (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2489.

filed a petition for creation of Brazoria County Municipal Utility District
Number 25 with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC).
The petition was filed pursuant to Article XVI, Section 59 of the Constitution
of the State of Texas; Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code; 30 Texas
Administrative Code Chapter 293; and the procedural rules of the TNRCC. The
petition states that: (1) the petitioner is the owner of a majority in value
of the land to be included in the proposed District; (2) the petition states
that there is only one lien holder on the property to be included in the proposed
district; (3) the proposed District will contain approximately 399.3693 acres
located within Brazoria County, Texas; and (4) the proposed District is within
the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Manvel, Texas, and is not
within such jurisdiction of any other city. By Resolution No. R2001-R-08,
effective February 22, 2001, the City of Manvel passed, approved and gave
its consent to create District, and has given its authorization to initiate
proceedings to create such political subdivision within its jurisdiction.
The petition further states that the proposed District will (1) construct,
acquire, maintain and operate a waterworks and sanitary sewer system for residential
and commercial purposes; (2) construct, acquire, improve, extend, maintain
and operate works, improvements, facilities, plants, equipment and appliances
helpful or necessary to provide more adequate drainage for the property in
the proposed District; and (3) control, abate and amend local storm waters
or other harmful excesses of waters, as more particularly described in an
engineer's report filed simultaneously with the filing of the petition. According
to the petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to determine the
cost of the project, and it is estimated by the petitioners, from the information
available at this time, that the cost of said project will be approximately
$20,500,000.
The TNRCC may grant a contested case hearing on this petition if a written
hearing request is filed within 30 days after the newspaper publication of
this notice. To request a contested case hearing, you must submit the following:

boundaries. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the petition
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

The Executive Director may approve the petition unless a written request
for a contested case hearing is filed within 30 days after the newspaper publication
of this notice. If a hearing request is filed, the Executive Director will
not approve the petition and will forward the petition 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.

Request for Proposal for Local Emergency Planning Committee Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grants
INTRODUCTION: The Governor's Division of Emergency Management (DEM), acting
for the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), is requesting proposals
for Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) Hazardous Materials Emergency
Preparedness (HMEP) grants to be awarded to Cities/Counties representing LEPCs
to further their work in hazardous materials transportation emergency planning.
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES: LEPCs are mandated by the federal Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) to provide planning and information
for communities relating to chemicals, in their use, storage or transit. The
U.S. Department of Transportation has made grant money available to enhance
communities' readiness for responding to hazardous materials transportation
incidents. A grant may be used by an LEPC in various ways, depending on a
community's needs.
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS: Each proposal must be developed by an LEPC, the membership
of which is recognized by the SERC, in cooperation with county and/or city
governments. The proposal must be approved by a vote of the LEPC. Each LEPC
shall arrange for a city or county to serve as its fiscal agent for management
of any and all money awarded under this grant.
CERTIFICATION: The fiscal agent must provide certification to commit funds
for this project. The certification must be in the form of an enabling resolution
from the county or authorization to commit funds from the city as appropriate.
BUDGET LIMITATIONS: Total funding for these grants is dependent on the
amount granted to the state from the U.S. Department of Transportation. No
less then seventy-five percent of the money granted to the state for planning
will be awarded to LEPCs. This is the fifth of a series of annual grant awards,
which will be issued through FY 2002. Grants will be awarded based upon population,
Hazardous Materials risk, need, and cost-effectiveness as judged by DEM. DEM
will fund eighty percent of the total project cost. Twenty percent of the
project cost must be borne by the grantee. Approved in-kind contributions
may be used to satisfy this contribution. LEPCs must maintain the same level
of spending for planning as an average of the past two years, in addition
to the grant.
EXAMPLES OF PROPOSALS:
Development, improvement, and implementation of the emergency plans required
under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), as well
as exercises, which test the emergency plan. Improvement of emergency plans
may include hazard analysis as well as response procedures for emergencies
involving transportation of hazardous materials including radioactive materials.
An assessment to determine flow patterns of hazardous materials within
a State, between a State and another State or Indian Country, and development
and maintenance of a system to keep such information current.
An assessment of the need for regional hazardous materials emergency response
teams.
An assessment of local response capabilities.
Conducting emergency response drills and exercises associated with emergency
response plans.
Technical staff to support the planning effort. (staff funding under planning
grants cannot be diverted to support other requirements of EPCRA.)
Public outreach about hazardous materials training issues such as community
protection, chemical emergency preparedness, or response.
Any other planning project related to the transportation of hazardous materials
approved by DEM.
CONTRACT PERIOD: Grant contracts begin as early as November 1, 2001, and
end August 30, 2002.
FINAL SELECTION: The DEM shall review the proposals. SERC Subcommittee
on Planning will make the final selection. The State is under no obligation
to award grants to all applicants.
APPLICATION FORMS AND DEADLINE: The "Request for Proposals and Application
Package" should be sent via certified/registered mail or other private mail
delivery service, requiring a signature, to the Texas Department of Public
Safety, Division of Emergency Management, P.O. Box 4087, Austin, Texas 78773-0225.

Docket Title and Number: Docket Number 24418,
Commission Staff's Application to Set 2001 Wholesale Transmission Service
Charges for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas
.
The Proceeding: The commission's rule on transmission pricing calls for
transmission rates to be based on the most-recent peak loads. Entities serving
load in ERCOT are to file peak load information with the Electric Reliability

on 2000 peak loads from the entities that serve load and has filed it with
the commission. Based upon this filing and input solicited from interested
parties, the Applicant developed and filed an initial calculation of the 2001
charges. This proceeding will determine transmission rates and charges for
transmission customers for 2001, in the manner provided in P.U.C. Substantive
Rule §25.192.
Persons who wish to intervene in the proceeding, or comment upon the action
sought, should contact the Public Utility Commission of Texas, 1701 North
