1 TAC §201.11

(Editor's note: The text of the following section proposed for repeal will not be published. The section may be examined in the offices of the Department of Information Resources or in the Texas Register office, Room 245, James Earl Rudder Building, 1019 Brazos Street, Austin.)

The Department of Information Resources (department) proposes to repeal 1 TAC §201.11, Procedure for Adoption of Information Resources Standards and Policies, because it is not needed. Most of the rule recites existing statutory provisions. The repeal is proposed pursuant to §2001.039(c), Texas Government Code, which requires state agencies to readopt, readopt with changes or repeal rules as needed after undergoing rule review and §2054.052(a), Texas Government Code, which authorizes the department to adopt rules necessary to implement its responsibilities under the Information Resources Management Act.

The rule being proposed for repeal underwent rule review as required by §2001.039, Texas Government Code. Notice of review was published in the February 27, 2004, issue of the Texas Register (29 TexReg 2057). No comments were received in response to the notice.

Mr. Mel Mireles, Director of the Enterprise Operations Division for the department, has determined that for the first five-year period the rule is in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government if §201.11 is repealed. The public will benefit by the repeal of unnecessary regulations.

Mr. Mireles also has determined that for each year of the first five years the rule is in effect there will be no different effect on small businesses than there is on large businesses and that there is no additional anticipated economic cost to persons if the rule is repealed.

Comments on the proposed repeal may be submitted to Renée Mauzy, General Counsel, Department of Information Resources, via mail to P. O. Box 13564, Austin, Texas 78711, or electronically to renee.mauzy@dir.state.tx.us no later than 5:00 p.m. CST, within 30 days after publication.

The repeal is proposed under §2001.039(c) and §2054.052(a), Texas Government Code.

Texas Government Code, Chapter 2054 and §2001.039(c) are affected by the proposed repeal.

§201.11.Procedure for Adoption of Information Resources Standards and Policies.

This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
