INTRODUCTION

The Texas Department of Health (department), Bureau of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Prevention, HIV/STD Clinical Resources Division (CRD), announces the availability of fiscal year 2003 state funds from the Texas Department of Health to provide Early Access to Primary Care for Persons with HIV Disease (EAP).

GENERAL PURPOSE AND PROGRAM GOALS

Early access is a strategy of service delivery to persons with HIV disease that focuses on ambulatory care. Services provided in EAP include HIV-related clinical care, health maintenance activities, prevention of acute and chronic illness, and the integration of the client into a system that provides support services. Early health care and psychosocial intervention is most effective in delaying the onset of life-threatening symptoms and diseases, and in achieving and maintaining the optimum level of health possible for each client. Early medical intervention, when combined with effective clinical case management strategies and psychosocial support, appears to slow disease progression and can enhance adherence with medical regimens. It also promotes healthy behaviors and may improve the quality of life.

Psychosocial interventions are a critical adjunct to clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic services and can promote active participation in the clinical management of the disease. Psychosocial interventions may include psychological counseling, transportation, nutritional counseling and support and other services which sustain the client's health.

ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS

Eligible applicants include governmental, public or private non-profit entities located within the state of Texas who deliver services to Texas residents. Applicants must have demonstrated the delivery of quality services to clients with HIV disease or to similar populations of clients. Agencies that have had state or federal contracts terminated within the last 24 months for deficiencies in fiscal or programmatic performance are not eligible to apply. Applicants must not have had punitive sanctions imposed on them from a funding source over the past six months before the EAP grants are awarded. Direct recipients of Ryan White Title I funded projects are not eligible to apply for this grant. (Title I sub-recipients may apply for services not covered under Title I). If the applicant is currently debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded or ineligible for participation in federal or state assistance programs, applicant is ineligible to apply for funds under this Request for Proposals (RFP).

PROJECT AND BUDGET PERIODS

Approximately $1,000,000 is expected to be available to fund up to eight projects with a 12-month budget. The specific dollar amount to be awarded to each applicant will depend upon the merit and scope of the proposed project. The maximum grant will be $125,000. It is expected that contracts will be for a 12-month budget period, with a project period of four years beginning September 1, 2002 through August 31, 2006.

In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of more than $600 from the "LUCK OF THE DICE" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game. Any prize not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket, shall be forfeited.

3.0 Instant Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of an Instant Game ticket in the space designated therefor, a ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the space designated therefor, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the ticket in the space designated therefor.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) will hold a workshop on April 9, 2002, at 10:00 a.m. in the Commissioner's Hearing Room, located on the 7th floor of the William B. Travis Building, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701 to discuss whether changes in technology, facilities, or competitive or market conditions justify a modification in the categories of access lines or whether there is a need to modify the definition of "access line." Project Number 25450, Rulemaking to Address the Redefinition of "Access Line," has been established. This proceeding to review Texas Local Gov't Code, §283.002 is made under the authority of §283.003.

The commission requests interested persons file comments by March 25, 2002 to the following questions:

1. Have there been any changes in technology or facilities that would justify a modification to the categories of access lines as developed by the commission?

2. Have there been any changes in the competitive or market conditions that would justify a modification to the categories of access lines as developed by the commission?

3. In situations where a certificated telecommunications provider (CTP) end-use customer is geographically located in a different exchange than the CTP's serving switch, should the end-use customer's line be classified as an access line? If not, how should it be classified?

4. Considering line sharing or line splitting scenarios:

a. What is the appropriate quantification of the line(s)?

b. What compensation is appropriate?

5. What, if any, other issues regarding redefinition of access lines should be addressed by the commission?

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. Electronic copies should be submitted, as well. All responses should reference Project Number 25450.
