On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the
Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439-1440). Under
federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal
zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC
Chapter 501. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity
to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken
or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§506.25,
506.32, and 506.41, the public comment period for these activities extends
30 days from the date published on the Coastal Coordination Council web site.
Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete

March 6, 2003. The public comment period for these projects will close at
5:00 p.m. on April 11, 2003.
FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIONS:
Applicant: Orion Construction, Inc.; Location: The project site is located
in Old River, a tributary of the Houston Ship Channel, at 14140 market Street,
in Channelview, Harris County. The project can be located on the U.S.G.S.
quadrangle map entitled: Highlands, Texas. Approximate UTM Coordinates: Zone
15; Easting: 298043; Northing: 3297016. Project Description: The applicant
is requesting authorization to amend Permit #21836 to extend a sheetpile bulkhead
and to perform dredging immediately in front of the area to be bulkheaded.
The proposed permit amendment is necessary to expand the existing facility.
The proposed sheetpile bulkhead will measure 485 feet long and will require
the discharge of approximately 1725 cubic yards of material as backfill below
mean low tide (MLT). Fill material to be discharged behind the bulkhead will
be excavated from upland areas onsite. The area to be dredged lies immediately
in front of the area to be bulkheaded and extends approximately 150 feet waterward.
The area will be dredged to a depth of -10 feet MLT. The proposed dredging
involves the mechanical excavation of 10,500 cubic yards of material that
will serve to backfill the upland borrow areas. Permit #21836 was issued on
March 6, 2000 and authorized the expansion of an existing barge slip; the
construction of a sheetpile bulkhead along the north, south, and west side
of the slip; the installation of a geotube along the eastern side of the slip;
and the discharge of concrete riprap along the southeastern segment of the
slip. In addition, the permit authorized the construction of 6 mooring dolphins.
To compensate for impacts to the aquatic environment, the applicant constructed
1.98 acres of wetlands on the eastern part of the site. To date, all of the
previously authorized construction, including the mitigation, has been completed.
The proposed bulkhead and dredging activities will not impact any additional
wetlands or vegetated shallow. CCC Project No.: 03-0069-F1; Type of Application:
U.S.A.C.E. permit application #21836(01) is being evaluated under §10

Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for Hazardous Waste Permit Modification
For the Period of February 27, 2003
APPLICATION Vopak Industrial Services USA, Inc., 2759 Battleground Road,
Deer Park, Harris County, Texas 77536, a commercial waste management facility
that stores and treats industrial and hazardous wastes prior to disposal in
a injection well that is permitted under the Clean Water Act, has applied
to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a Class 3 modification
to Hazardous Waste Permit HW-50025-001 to authorize the addition of 20 new
hazardous waste storage and treatment tanks, the replacement of seven existing
hazardous waste storage and treatment tanks with larger tanks, the addition
of a new hazardous waste container storage area, the increase of hazardous
waste storage capacity for two existing container storage areas, and the modification
of the inspections schedule, waste analysis plan and closure plan. The facility
is located approximately 0.8 miles southwest of the San Jacinto Monument in
Deer Park, on approximately 5.4720 acres. The application was submitted to
the TCEQ on May 1, 2002.
The TCEQ 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.
The TCEQ executive director has completed the technical review of the
application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would
establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The executive
director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets
all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, executive
director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing
and copying at the Deer Park Community Center, 610 East San Augustine, Deer
Park, Texas 77536.
PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request
a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is
to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the
application. Generally, the TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the executive
director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest
in the application, if requested in writing by an affected person, or if requested
by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.
Written public comments and requests for a public meeting must be submitted
to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX
78711-3087 within 45 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice.

comments, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a
response to all relevant and material or significant public comments. The
response to comments, along with the executive director's decision on the
application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or requested
to be on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received,
the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case
hearing or reconsideration of the executive director's decision. A contested
case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district
court.
A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues
of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission's decision on the
application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that
were raised during the public comment period and not withdrawn. Issues that
are not raised in public comments may not be considered during a hearing.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The executive director may issue final approval
of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request
for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration
is filed, the executive director will not issue final approval of the permit
and will forward the application and requests to the TCEQ Commissioners for
their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission) will conduct
a public hearing to receive testimony concerning revisions to 30 TAC Chapter
122, specifically the repeal of §122.131 and §§122.511 - 122.516
and proper notification of §122.217 being submitted as a revision to
the state implementation plan (SIP), under the requirements of Texas Health
and Safety Code, §382.017; Texas Government Code, Subchapter B, Chapter
2001; and 40 Code of Federal Regulations, §51.102 of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency regulations concerning SIPs.
The rules in Chapter 122 were originally developed to meet Title V of the
Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (FCAA) as codified in 42 United States
Code. The commission is now proposing to repeal §122.131 because the
phased permit process has not been used by any facilities and the scheduled
dates have since passed. The commission is also proposing the repeal of §§122.511
- 122.516 since the types of permits referenced have been converted to non-rule
general operating permits and no longer exist.
On November 20, 2002, the commission adopted amendments to §122.217
regarding minor revision procedures. However, the commission did not submit §122.217
to the EPA as a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP). Public comment
will be accepted on this section being submitted as a revision to the SIP.
The adopted rule for §122.217 can be viewed on the
Texas Register
web site at:
http://www.sos.state.tx.us
A public hearing on this proposal will be held in Austin on April 14, 2003
at 10:00 a.m. in Building F, Room 2210 at the commission's central office
located at 12100 Park 35 Circle. The hearing will be structured for the receipt
of oral or written comments by interested persons. Individuals may present
oral statements when called upon in order of registration. There will be no
open discussion during the hearing; however, an agency staff member will be
available to discuss the proposal 30 minutes prior to the hearing and will
answer questions before and after the hearing.
Persons with disabilities who have special communication or other accommodation
needs who are planning to attend the hearing should contact the Office of
Environmental Policy, Analysis, and Assessment at (512) 239-4900. Requests

ANNOUNCEMENT OF NOTICE OF FUND AVAILABILITY FOR
THE HOUSING TRUST FUND CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs’ (TDHCA) Housing
Trust Fund is accepting applications for the Housing Trust Fund Capacity Building
Program. The Capacity Building Program is designed to directly assist eligible
organizations to increase their capacity to provide safe, decent, affordable
housing in their communities. Eligible activities under this application include
hiring qualified persons or contracting with consultants who can provide technical
assistance in developing housing for low, very low, and extremely low income
individuals and families, including persons with special needs. Funds may
also be used to contract directly with qualified technical assistance providers
with experience and training in the areas prescribed by this NOFA. A total
of $567,729 is available through this NOFA. Funds will be allocated evenly
between the 13 Uniform State Service Regions, resulting in a maximum award
of $43,671 for one organization in each region. If no qualified applications
are received in a region, the funds will be awarded to qualified applicants
in another region. These funds may not be used to pay for existing staff.
Restructuring of staff duties, re-assignment of staff duties, or other changes
to existing staff do not constitute the hiring of additional staff. If the
applicant is a recipient of 2001 or 2002 Capacity Building Funds used to hire
additional staff, the staff paid for through those funds will be eligible
as additional staff under the 2003 Capacity Building Funds, provided that
the assistance does not exceed three years.
Respondents will complete an application that includes, but is not limited
to, a detail of the type of staff needed for improving the organization’s
housing development capacity, or the type of training to be provided through
the use of a qualified technical assistance consultant. The application will

is a 501(c)(3) or (4) entity as well as the articles of incorporation of the
nonprofit organization which specifically state that the development of affordable
housing is one of the entity’s tax exempt purposes.
The staff hired with the funds will be required to attend at least two
workshops sponsored by TDHCA on multifamily and single family affordable housing
development. The funds will be distributed in a lump sum. The Department will
monitor the organization at least 2 times during the year. Prior to the expiration
of the contract, a final report will be submitted which verifies that the
individual has satisfied the measures described in the application. If it
is determined that the goals stated in the application were not satisfied,
the organization will not be eligible for funds in the following year.
Applications will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
The organization’s ability to serve rural areas as evidenced in the
articles of incorporation, bylaws, or corporate resolution.
The organization’s ability to serve persons with special needs as
evidenced in the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or corporate resolution.
The organization’s ability to serve individuals and families with
incomes at 50% or below of the Area Median Gross Income as evidenced in the

Request for Proposals to Provide Services to Disabled TANF Recipients
The Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) announces a request for proposal
(RFP) from applicant organizations to provide services to disabled recipients
of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) financial assistance. Proposals
should address how the applicant will assist disabled TANF recipients in establishing
eligibility for federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Retirement,
Survivors, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) for disability benefits issued
by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Description of Services:
The contractor must
have an extensive and thorough knowledge of the SSI and RSDI programs and
application/certification procedures. DHS expects the contractor to screen
referred clients to ensure clients are potentially eligible for SSA disability-based
benefits and assist clients throughout the SSI/RSDI application and appeal
process. This request for proposals does not address services to any recipients
of TANF financial assistance other than those who are disabled and who (with
the assistance of the contractor) become qualified for disability- based SSI
or RSDI benefits. DHS expects the contractor to provide sufficient resources
for the contract period to perform the services required by this proposal.
Applicant organizations must demonstrate ability to provide the following
services: assist clients in completing and filing application forms and other
required documents; submit medical and other required documentation on applicants'
behalf; ensure application and appeal deadlines are met; represent clients
at appeals and hearings; monitor and follow up on the progress of applications
filed with SSA; and attend meetings with DHS staff, as needed, to discuss
issues affecting the efficiency and operation of the project.
Closing Date:
Proposals must be received
Terms and/or Amount:
The applicant should
indicate the amount it intends to charge DHS for each successful referral
of a disabled TANF recipient to SSI or disability-based RSDI. Although the
cost-per-referral will be considered when awarding the contract, DHS is not
bound to award the contract to the bidder with the lowest cost-per-referral.
Offeror's Conference:
Applicant's teleconference
(participation optional) will be held Monday, March 31, 2003, from 1:30 p.m.
to 3:30 p.m. (CST). Notification deadline for participation in the conference
is Friday, March 28, 2003, at 5:00 p.m. (CST).
Selection and Evaluation:
DHS will review
the proposals according to the criteria described in this RFP. DHS will retain
all proposals and they will not be returned to the applicants. DHS will screen
all proposals for eligibility and completeness. DHS will disqualify any proposal
that does not meet the eligibility requirements in this RFP. Proposals that
are deemed complete and eligible will be referred to the appropriate evaluation
team. Proposals must meet the following in order to be considered complete:
received timely; and proposal complete, including signature, copies, attachments,
and other specified items.
Proposals must contain the following to be considered: cover page, relevant
successful experience of applicant and effectiveness addressing the project
needs, staffing, timeframe, and budget summary.
Applicants must submit an original and five copies. Applicants must include
an electronic copy submitted on a 3-1/2 inch disk format or on a CD-ROM in
MS Word format.

Notice of Availability of Request for Qualifications to Consulting Firms for Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP)
This notice by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG)
for consultant services is filed under the provisions of Government Code,
Chapter 2254.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is providing notice
of the availability of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). This Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) is being made available by the North Central Texas Council
of Governments (NCTCOG) to professional consulting firms who may have an interest
in assisting NCTCOG, its participating member local governments, and other
partners to prepare a multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP)
that can be used in response to a nationally identified need to reduce our
vulnerability to disasters. The NCTCOG Department of Environmental Resources
has lead responsibility, with direct involvement of the Emergency Preparedness,
Transportation, and Research and Information Services Departments.
The HazMAP planning process has been organized into the following four
major components, which generally mirror the outline of local mitigation plan
contents in 44 CFR Part 201.6(c) Plan Contents of the February 26, 2002 Federal
Register rule (http://www.fema.gov/fima/mitactivities.shtm).
These are:
1. Planning Process,
2. Risk Assessment,
3. Mitigation Strategies,
4. Plan Adoption and Maintenance
www.hazmap.dfwinfo.com: This website will be a primary vehicle for up-to-date
information on progress of HazMAP, with draft materials posted for comments
by NCTCOG throughout the process. The complete Request for Qualifications
is available at this website or by contacting NCTCOG staff at (817) 608-2361.
EVALUATION OF QUALIFICATIONS
To assist interested consultants, a Consultant Briefing will be held:
On: Wednesday, March 26, 2003
At: 9:30 a.m.
In: NCTCOG offices
NCTCOG will discuss the proposed project and respond to questions concerning
the Request for Qualifications. Questions and NCTCOG responses subsequent
to the consultant briefing will be posted on a bulletin board at www.hazmap.dfwinfo.com
A HazMAP Review Team, which will be guiding the planning effort, will review
the responses to the RFQ, select the consultants for interviews, and rank
the consultants. NCTCOG will negotiate a contract with the top-ranked consultant.
If a satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated, NCTCOG will proceed to the
next most highly qualified firm pursuant to Texas Government Code--Chapter
2254, Subchapter A--Professional Services Procurement Act. It is anticipated
that the contract would include hourly rates for the various categories of
consultant staff and/or similar means to establish a fair and equitable costing
method. Target funding for the consultant services is $150,000.
It is NCTCOG's intent to engage consultant assistance as soon as possible
(target to obtain Executive Board approval at its May 22nd meeting). Once
the consultant is engaged, it is anticipated that an intensive two-day work
session will be conducted to develop the more detailed consultant scope of
services. Given the interactive nature of this engagement, initial work assignments
may be best organized into components with a specific cost, while others may
require a specific authorization to proceed from NCTCOG at a later time. The
consultant may recommend other ways to insure that their services are used
effectively and efficiently. This contract is dependent on funding from FEMA
through TxDEM. NCTCOG reserves the right to terminate this process at any
time.
CONSULTANT RESPONSE
Consultants will submit 25 copies of a written response to the available
Request for Qualifications to John Promise, P.E., NCTCOG Director of Environmental
Resources, to be received by close of business on Wednesday, April 9, 2003
at the NCTCOG offices. This written response should be concise, specific to
this RFQ, and not exceed 20 pages of text and graphics in the main submission

a certificated service area boundary in Montgomery County, Texas.
Docket Style and Number: Application of CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric,

Montgomery County boundary line between the electric distribution service
territory of Mid-South Electric Cooperative Association (Mid-South Synergy)

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) received a petition
for rulemaking on March 11, 2003, from Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P.,
doing business as SBC Texas (SBC Texas or Petitioner). SBC Texas requests
that the commission conduct a rulemaking to make changes to its service quality
benchmarks set forth in substantive rule §26.54, relating to Service
Objectives and Performance Benchmarks. The petition is assigned Project Number
27500,
Petition for Rulemaking of SBC Texas to Amend
Substantive Rules Applicable to Telecommunications Service Providers in Regard
to Quality of Service
. Under the Administrative Procedure Act, Texas
Government Code §2001.021, the commission shall either deny the petition
in writing, stating its reasons for denial, or initiate a rulemaking proceeding
not later than the 60th day after the date the petition is filed.
Petitioner seeks immediate review of two specific standards. First, Petitioner
maintained that §26.54(c)(6)(A), regarding customer trouble reports,
should be amended to increase from three to six the number of customer trouble
reports per 100 customer access lines per month (on average), per exchange.
Second, Petitioner stated that the business office speed of answer requirement
in §26.54(c)(2)(B) should be eliminated.
Petitioner stated that given the sweeping changes that have followed enactment
of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (FTA), it is time to reconsider
whether certain provisions of §26.54 should be eliminated or modified.
Petitioner opined that the service quality rules are clearly a vestige of
traditional rate-of-return regulation in a pre-1996 monopoly environment and
that most, if not all, of the benchmarks currently required by §26.54
no longer serve the purposes for which they were created. In addition, SBC
Texas urged the commission, to the extent it finds that some of the current
service quality standards are still necessary and appropriate, to apply these
standards equally to all local exchange carriers. Petitioner asserted that
the legislature granted the commission wide latitude in adopting service quality
standards, and that the authority to apply its service quality rules is not
limited to only incumbent local exchange carriers.
Comments on the petition may be filed no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday,
April 11, 2003. Copies of the petition may be obtained from the commission's
Central Records Division, William B. Travis Building, 1701 North Congress
Avenue, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326, or through the Interchange
on the commission's web site at www.puc.state.tx.us under Project Number 27500.
Questions regarding this notice of petition should be directed to Patrick
Tyler, Director of Telecommunications, Legal and Enforcement Division, at
(512) 936-7282, or Roni Dempsey, Rules Coordinator, Policy Development Division,
at (512) 936-7308. Hearing and speech- impaired individuals with text telephones
(TTY) may contact the commission at (512) 936-7136 or toll-free at 1-800-735-2989.
