The rules are necessary to establish policies under which eligible persons receive services from the Talking Book Program of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.

Adopted Rule Review

Texas State Cemetery Committee

Title 13, Part 5

Pursuant to the notice of the proposed rule review published in the July 1, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 3881), the Texas State Cemetery Committee (Committee) has reviewed and considered for readoption, revision, or repeal Title 13 of the Texas Administrative Code, Part 5, Chapter 71, Texas State Cemetery, in accordance with the Texas Government Code §2001.039 (Vernon 2000).

The Committee considered, among other things, whether the reasons for adoption of these rules continue to exist. No comments were received on the proposed rule review.

As a result of the review, the Committee determined that the rules are still necessary and readopts 13 Texas Administrative Code §§71.1, 71.3, 71.11, 71.13, 71.14, 71.15, 71.17, 71.19, 71.21, and 71.23, because these provisions were promulgated to direct the administration of the Texas State Cemetery and to regulate monuments erected on Cemetery grounds.

However, during the approval process for placement on the Committee Agenda, it was noted that all references to the General Services Commission should be updated to reflect the successor agency name, Texas Building and Procurement Commission.

These rules are readopted under the authority granted to the Committee in Texas Government Code, §2165.256 and §2165.2561 (Vernon Supp. 2005).

Cross reference to Statutes: Texas Government Code, §2165.256.

This completes the Committee's review of 13 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 71, Texas State Cemetery.
