Pursuant to the Texas Controlled Substances Act, Health and Safety Code, §481.02(22), the Commissioner has designated a list of Immediate Precursors.

The Director of the Department of Public Safety determined that public health and welfare are jeopardized by evidenced proliferation or use of the following chemical substances in the illicit manufacture of controlled substances or controlled substance analogues: methylamine, ethylamine, D-lysergic acid, ergotamine tartrate, diethyl malonate, malonic acid, ethyl malonate, barbituric acid, piperidine, N-acetylanthranilic acid, pyrrolidine, phenylacetic acid, anthranilic acid, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, red phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid.

The Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency has determined that the following substances, in addition to legitimate uses, are used in manufacturing controlled substances in violation of the Federal Controlled Substances Act, and are important to the manufacture of controlled substances: anthranilic acid, its esters, and its salts; benzyl cyanide; ephedrine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers; ergonovine and its salts; ergotamine and its salts; N-Acetylanthranilic acid, its esters, and its salts; norpseudoephedrine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers; phenylacetic acid, its esters, and its salts; phenylpropanolamine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers; piperidine and its salts; pseudoephedrine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers; 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone; methylamine and its salts; ethylamine and its salts; propionic anhydride; isosafrole; safrole; piperonal; N-Methylephedrine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers; N-Methylpseudoephedrine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers; hydriodic acid (alternative spelling: hydriotic acid); benzaldehyde; nitroethane; gamma-butyrolactone (Other names include: GBL; Dihydro-2(3H)-furanone; 1,2-Butanolide; 1,4-Butanolide; 4-Hydroxybutanoic acid lactone; gamma-hydroxybutyric acid lactone); red phosphorus; white phosphorus (Other names: yellow phosphorus); hypophosphorous acid and its salts(including ammonium hypophosphite, calcium hypophosphite, iron hypophosphite, potassium hypophosphite, manganese hypophosphite, magnesium hypophosphite, and sodium hypophosphite); acetic anhydride; acetone; benzyl chloride; ethyl ether; potassium permanganate; 2-Butanone (or methyl ethyl ketone or MEK); toluene; hydrochloric acid (including anhydrous hydrogen chloride); sulfuric acid; methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK); and iodine.

(3) the substances require control to prevent, curtail, or limit the manufacture of controlled substances.

As a result of the Central Texas Floods of 2002 during the incident period beginning June 28, 2001, a major disaster, (FEMA- 1425-DR) was declared by the President. Due to this declaration, Texas is authorized federal funds through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The HMGP is a 75/25 federal to applicant cost-share program designed to help prevent reoccurring disaster losses to citizens and infrastructure. It is imperative that these funds be used to reduce the risk of loss of life and property in the future.

All eligible applicants, which include local governments, state agencies, certain non-profit organizations and institutions, and Indian tribes or authorized tribal organizations are invited and encouraged to take advantage of this additional opportunity and apply for HMGP funds. These funds will be allocated to applicants based on a competitive application process. The number one mitigation strategy for Texas is the purchase and removal of structures at risk from flooding; however, all cost effective actions that mitigate the consequences of the hazards, and provide long term meaningful and definable risk reduction benefits will be considered. In accordance with Public Law (PL) 106-390 (Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000) the development of local mitigation action plans that comply with provisions of the law, and Texas planning standards are also eligible projects for consideration. It is recommended that you contact your supporting Council of Governments office for possible hazard mitigation planning assistance.

If your organization is interested in participating in the HMGP process, you are invited to submit a notice of interest by September 15, 2002, to the Texas Hazard Mitigation Officer, Disaster Field Office, 9830 Colonade Blvd., Suite 200, San Antonio, Texas 78230, or fax to (210) 697-4573. Detailed information including an HMGP Fact Sheet and the forms to use for development and submission of a notice of interest (NOI) are available on the Department of Public Safety/ Division of Emergency Management website at http:/www.txdps.state.tx.us/dem/ctxflood02.htm.
