Title 22, Part 23
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) proposes to review Chapter 535
(§§535.92 - 535.403) in accordance with the Texas Government Code, §2001.039,
and the General Appropriations Act of 1999, Article IX, Section 167.
Review of the rules under these chapters will determine whether the reasons
for adoption of the rules continues to exist. During the review process, TREC
may also determine that a specific rule may need to be amended to further
refine TREC's legal and policy considerations, whether the rules reflect current
TREC procedures, that no changes to a rule as currently in effect are necessary,
or that a rule is not longer valid or applicable. Rules will also be combined
or reduced for simplification and clarity when feasible. Readopted rules will
be noted in the
Texas Register's
Rules Review
section without publication of the text. Any proposed amendments or repeal
of a rule or chapter as a result of the review will be published in the Proposed
Rules section of the
Texas Register
and will
be open for an additional 30-day public comment period prior to final adoption
or repeal.
TREC invites comments during the review process for 30 days following the
publication of this notice in the
Texas Register
. Any questions or comments pertaining to this notice of intention
to review should be directed to Loretta R. DeHay, General Counsel, Texas Real
Estate Commission. P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188 or e-mail to general.counsel@trec.state.tx.us

Title 4, Part 1
The Texas Department of Agriculture (the department) adopts without changes
the rule review proposed for Title 4, Texas Administrative Code, Part 1,
Chapter 13, concerning Grain Warehouse Regulation, pursuant to the Texas
Government Code, §2001.039. Section 2001.039 requires state agencies
to review and consider for readoption each of their rules every four years.
The review must include an assessment of whether the original justification
for the rules continues to exist.
The assessment of Title 4, Part 1, Chapter 13 by the department at this
time indicates that Chapter 13 should be repealed in its entirety and replaced
with a new Chapter 13, which contains new grain warehouse regulations §§13.1-13.20.
These new regulations have been updated and provide more comprehensive requirements
and procedures for licensing of persons as grain warehouse operators. Accordingly,
as part of the review process the department has adopted the repeal of §§13.1-13.4
and new §§13.1-13.20. These were published in the proposed rule
section of the March 26, 2004, issue of the
Texas
Register
(29 TexReg 3008). One comment was received on the proposal
and is addressed in the adoption preamble for the new sections. No comments
were received on the proposed review.
