Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Filed: May 18, 2004
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
