Request for Nominations for Appointment to the Pollution Prevention Advisory Committee

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission) is soliciting nominations to fill several vacant positions on the Pollution Prevention Advisory Committee (PPAC) established under Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.0215. The legislatively created advisory committee advises the commission on the state's policy and goals for pollution prevention and waste minimization.

Individuals interested in being considered by the commission should submit a one page letter of interest and brief resume or biography. All materials must be received by the commission no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 21, 2004.

The PPAC is composed of nine voting members who offer a balanced representation of environmental and public interest groups and the regulated community. The nine official members are represented by: four environmental or public interest representatives; four regulated community representatives; and one academic representative.

The commission may appoint ex officio members to provide additional participation from other members of the regulated community and the public who work on pollution prevention and performance-based regulatory initiatives. The commission currently has designated eight ex officio positions including one representative from each of the following sectors: small business, local government, agriculture, Department of Defense, labor, and the Clean Texas, Cleaner World Program. The commission also extends ex officio positions to the Chairs of the House Environmental Regulation Committee and the Senate Natural Resources Committee.

The PPAC advises the commission on: the appropriate organization of state agencies and the financial and technical resources required to aid the state in its efforts to promote waste reduction and minimization; the development of public awareness programs to educate citizens about hazardous waste and the appropriate disposal of hazardous waste and hazardous materials that are used and collected by households; the provision of technical assistance to local governments for the development of waste management strategies designed to assist small quantity generators of hazardous waste; and other possible programs to more effectively implement the state's hierarchy of preferred waste management technologies as set forth in Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.023(a). The PPAC also advises the commission on the creation and implementation of the strategically directed regulatory structure developed under Texas Water Code, §5.755, and reports quarterly to the commission on its activities, including suggestions or proposals for future activities and other matters the committee considers important.

The PPAC operates under the requirements of 30 TAC Chapter 5, Advisory Committees. The PPAC meets a minimum of four times per year and as needed. Members may not miss three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings or more than half of all the regularly scheduled meetings in a one-year period. The meetings usually last one full day and are held at the commission headquarters in Austin, Texas.

Travel reimbursement for committee member expenses was not authorized by the 78th Texas Legislature and therefore committee members cannot be reimbursed by the commission. Several committee members are exploring a mechanism to provide for third party reimbursement, especially for environmental and civic organization representatives. The PPAC must report in writing to the commission a minimum of once per year, unless otherwise directed.

The commissioners invite nominations for the following positions. Each nomination should include a brief cover letter and biographical summary which includes the individual's experience and qualifications, and an agreement to serve on the committee if appointed.

Except as otherwise provide by law, advisory committee members may serve two-or four-year terms. Please submit nomination(s) for consideration by the commission for the following terms:

One representative from an environmental or public interest group to fill the open position resulting from the resignation by Reggie James, Southwest Office Consumers Union (four-year term to expire on August 31, 2005);

Two representatives from an environmental or public interest group (vacant four-year terms to expire on August 31, 2007);

Two representatives from the regulated community (four-year terms to expire on August 31, 2007);

One representative from academia (four-year term to expire on August 31, 2005); and

At least two ex officio positions (two-year terms to expire on August 31, 2005) to fill vacant positions, including potential appointments for local government, labor organization, and other interested parties.

Written nominations must be received in the Small Business and Environmental Assistance Division Office by 5:00 p.m. on June 21, 2004 via mail, hand delivery, email, or fax. Nominations should be directed to: Ken Zarker, Small Business and Environmental Assistance Division (MC 112), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, e-mail to kzarker@tceq.state.tx.us , or fax to (512) 239-3165. Documents can be submitted via hand delivery to the Small Business and Environmental Assistance Division, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F, Room 1301, Austin, Texas 78753. Questions regarding the PPAC can be directed to Mr. Zarker at (512) 239-3145.

Notice of Amendment to the Schedules of Controlled Substances Removing the Substance TFMPP from Schedule I

On September 20, 2002, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a notice of intent temporarily placing the substance N-benzylpiperazine (BZP) and 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine (TFMPP), including their optical isomers, salts, and salts of isomers into Schedule I of the Federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA). On March 18, 2004, the Acting Deputy Administrator of the DEA issued a final rule, vacating the orders temporarily placing BZP and TFMPP into Schedule I of the CSA. The final rule placed BZP permanently into Schedule I; however, there was insufficient evidence to place TFMPP into Schedule I permanently.

Pursuant to §481.034(g) of the Texas Controlled Substances Act, Health and Safety Code, Chapter 481, at least 31 days have expired since notice of the above referenced action was published in the Federal Register, and Eduardo J.

Public Notice

The Health and Human Services Commission, State Medicaid Office, has received approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to amend the Title XIX Medical Assistance Plan by Transmittal Number 03-15, Amendment Number 650.

This amendment eliminates recalculating the standard dollar amount (SDA) and the cost-of-living update factor applied to the SDA of all hospitals for inpatient hospital admissions during state fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The amendment revises the high volume adjustment factors applied to the SDA of certain hospitals for inpatient admissions during state fiscal years 2004 and 2005. This amendment will also allow certain Medicaid hospitals with more than 100 licensed beds the option of receiving cost-based reimbursement authorized by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA). Lastly, this amendment modifies the reimbursement for direct graduate medical education for admission during state fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The effective date of the amendment is September 1, 2003.

The state had allowed hospitals, which were unable to calculate their uninsured charges for inpatients and outpatients, to receive a proxy calculation. The elimination of the proxy methodology requires hospitals to calculate their uninsured charges for inpatients and outpatients. The effective date of the amendment is September 1, 2003.

Public Notice Statement

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission announces its intent to submit Transmittal Number 04-14, Amendment Number 678, to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. Amendment Number 678 provides for supplemental payments to a publicly owned hospital or hospital affiliated with a hospital district in Potter and Randall counties for inpatient services provided to Medicaid patients. The supplemental payment shall not exceed the difference between total annual Medicaid payments and the federal upper payment limits established in 42 CFR 447.272. The purpose of the supplemental payment is to recognize the unique role of urban public safety-net hospitals play in the Texas healthcare delivery system for the Medicaid population. As a result, the State seeks to ensure that Medicaid payments are commensurate with Medicare payments and/or payment principles.

The proposed amendment is to be effective May 29, 2004. The proposed amendment is estimated to result in increased expenditures of approximately $8,778,992 for fiscal year 2004, and $14,834,870 for fiscal year 2005.

Copies of the proposed change in methodology will be available for public review at local offices of the Texas Department of Human Services.

Comments, questions or requests for additional information should be forwarded to Scott Reasonover, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, 1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas 78756, (512) 491-1348.

Transmittal Number 04-06, Amendment Number 673 removes targeted case management services provided to individuals who were enrolled in the Mental Retardation Local Authorities (MRLA) program. The amendment does not impact the current rate for targeted case management for persons with mental retardation or related condition or pervasive developmental disability because individuals who were enrolled in MRLA have been enrolled in Home Care Services, which already has a case management component.

There is no anticipated fiscal impact as a result of this amendment.

Public Notice of Workshop on Report to the 79th Texas Legislature on Chapter 58 and Chapter 59 Incentive Regulation and Request for Comments

The staff of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) will hold a workshop regarding the effects of Chapter 58 and Chapter 59 incentive regulation, on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. in the Commissioners' Hearing Room, located on the 7th floor of the William B. Travis Building, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701. Pursuant to Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) §58.028, Project Number 29072, Report to the 79th Texas Legislature on Chapter 58 and Chapter 59 Incentive Regulation has been established for this proceeding. The commission must report to the Legislature on the effects of the election of Chapter 58 and Chapter 59 incentive regulation not later than January 1, 2005. Information regarding this project, including the agenda for the workshop, will be posted at the following commission website: http://www.puc.state.tx.us/telecomm/projects/29072/29072.cfm.

House Bill 2128 was enacted in 1995 and established provisions in Chapters 58 and 59 of PURA that allow incumbent telephone companies (ILECs) the option of electing into a new regulatory framework based on pricing incentives rather than on rate of return. Under this "incentive" regulation, the electing ILEC is not subject to earnings reviews or complaints as to reasonableness of its rates, revenues, or earnings. In return, the electing ILEC commits to infrastructure modernization, and to providing special rates to specified public entities (e.g., schools, libraries, and telemedicine centers of public or non-profit medical institutions) for certain private network services. These provisions of PURA were continued by Senate Bill 560 (SB 560), which was enacted in 1999 and increased flexibility for electing ILECs in pricing and packaging telecommunications services. Pricing flexibility includes customer-specific contracts, volume, term or discount pricing, zone density pricing, and other forms of promotional pricing. Under SB 560, electing ILECs must give the commission ten days' notice before changing their prices.

Currently, companies that have elected incentive regulation under Chapter 58 include Verizon, SBC, Sprint, Valor, Fort Bend Telephone, and TXU Communications (formerly Lufkin- Conroe). Companies that have elected incentive regulation under Chapter 59 include Sugar Land, Century Tel, Kerrville, Texas ALLTEL, and Big Bend.

The commission requests interested persons file comments to address the following questions:

1. For companies that have elected incentive regulation under Chapter 58 or Chapter 59, please describe in detail, using facts and concrete examples, the effects of that election on consumer benefits, including the effects on:

(a) the Texas business community, including small, medium, and large businesses;

(b) Texas residential consumers; and

(c) libraries and educational institutions.

2. For companies that have elected incentive regulation under Chapter 58 or Chapter 59, please describe in detail, using facts and concrete examples, the effects of that election on competition.

3. For companies that have elected incentive regulation under Chapter 58 or Chapter 59, please describe in detail, using facts and concrete examples, the effects of that election on quality of service.

4. For companies that have elected incentive regulation under Chapter 58 or Chapter 59, please describe in detail, using facts and concrete examples, the effects of that election on infrastructure investments. Please include discussion as to whether the phone companies that have elected into incentive regulation have met the infrastructure commitments required by PURA Chapter 58, Subchapters F and G, and Chapter 59, Subchapters C and D, including infrastructure commitments regarding:

(a) libraries and educational institutions;

(b) telemedicine centers; and

(c) public or not-for-profit hospitals or not-for-profit heath care centers.

5. Based on the responses to questions 1 - 4 above, should the incentive regulation provided by Chapters 58 and 59 be extended, modified, eliminated, or replaced with another form of regulation? Please explain why or why not.

Responses may be filed by submitting 16 copies to the commission's Filing Clerk, Public Utility Commission of Texas, 1701 North Congress Avenue, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326 within 20 days of the date of publication of this notice. All responses should reference Project Number 29072.
