The Texas Department of Agriculture (the department) files this notice
of intention to review and consider for readoption, revision or repeal, Title
4, Texas Administrative Code, Part 1, Chapter 2, concerning Licensing, pursuant
to the Texas Government Code, §2001.039. Section 2001.039 requires state
agencies to review each of their rules every four years and consider the rules

assessment of whether the original justification for the rules continues to
exist.

Title 4, Part 1, §2.1 and §2.4 and the repeal of §2.2. The
proposed amendments may be found in the proposed rule section of this publication
of the
Texas Register
. The assessment of Title
4, Part 1, Chapter 2 by the department at this time indicates that with the
exception of the sections proposed for amendment and repeal, the reason for
readopting without changes all remaining sections in Chapter 2 continues to
exist.
The department is accepting comments on the review of Chapter 2, specifically,
as to whether the reason for readopting Chapter 2 with the proposed amendments
and repeal continues to exist. Comments or questions on this notice of intention
to review may be submitted within 30 days following the date of publication
of this notice in the
Texas Register
