Texas Family Code §234.008(e) states that, if the Title IV-D agency is notified by the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement that Subsection (d) results in the Title IV-D agency’s failure to meet the requirements of 42 U.S.C.

On February 16, 2006, The Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement notified the Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Division, that H.B. 1238, effective September 1, 2005, codified as Texas Family Code §234.008(d), is in violation of the requirements of Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, §454B and §457 as well as §454(11)(A) and §454(11)(B), related to the establishment and operation of the state case registry and state disbursement unit.

Subject to Subsection (e), the signature of an obligee on a final order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship, or another order under this title, that designates an individual or entity for the purpose of receiving, disbursing, and monitoring child support payments constitutes written consent by the obligee to the distribution of the child support payments by the state disbursement unit to the designated individual or entity. The state disbursement unit shall distribute each child support payment to the designated individual or entity by the date required by Subsection (a). The designated individual or entity shall deduct any amount of the individual’s or entity’s authorized fee from the payment and promptly disburse the remainder of the amount to the Title IV-D agency or obligee.

Notice of Meeting on April 27, 2006, in Rogers, Bell County, Texas Concerning the Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturing Company (Site)

The purpose of the meeting is to obtain public input and information concerning proposal of the site to the state registry of Superfund sites, the identification of potentially responsible parties, and the proposal of non-residential land use.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is required under the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Health and Safety Code, Chapter 361, as amended (the Act), to annually publish a state registry that identifies facilities that may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. The most recent registry listing of these facilities was published in the April 29, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 2583).

Pursuant to the Act, §361.184(a), the commission must publish a notice of intent to list a facility on the state registry of state Superfund sites in the Texas Register and in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the site is located. With this publication, the commission hereby gives notice of a site that the executive director has determined eligible for listing and which the executive director proposes to list on the state registry. By this publication, the commission also gives notice pursuant to the Act, §361.1855, that it proposes a land use other than residential as appropriate for the site identified. The commission proposes a commercial/industrial land use designation. Determination of appropriate land use may impact the remedial investigation and remedial action for the site. The TCEQ is proposing a land use designation of commercial/industrial based on the existing land use of the property, as is prescribed in the Texas Risk Reduction Program rule at 30 TAC §350.53.

This publication also specifies the general nature of the potential endangerment to public health and safety or the environment as determined by information currently available to the executive director. This notice of intent to list this site was also published on March 16, 2006, in The Cameron Herald and on March 17, 2006, in the Temple Daily Telegram .

The site proposed for listing is the Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturing Company, located on Shaw Road in Rogers, Bell County, Texas. The geographic coordinates of the site are Latitude 30 degrees 56 minutes 41.91008 seconds North and Longitude 97 degrees 14 minutes 23.65089 seconds West and the approximate site elevation is 650 feet mean sea level. The description of the site is based on information available at the time the site was evaluated with the Hazard Ranking System (HRS). The HRS is the principal screening guide used by the commission to evaluate potential, relative risk to public health and the environment from releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The site description may change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of contamination.

The Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturing Company site began operation in approximately February 1981. It is currently inactive with no known residents or workers on-site. The property is roughly 19 acres in size. Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturing Company manufactured and produced blow wool and batt wool using blast furnaces from raw material such as slags from copper and antimony smelting, waste from limestone mining, as well as coke and basalts. The raw material was melted in a coke-fired furnace and then extruded by blowing air over spinning drums to form fibers. The residue left in the furnace from the heating of the slags was a metal shot type material. This spent iron shot was the main waste type generated as part of the mineral wool process.

A public meeting will be held April 27, 2006, at 7:00 p.m., at The Civic Center, located at 4 West Mesquite, Rogers, Texas 76569. The purpose of this meeting is to obtain additional information regarding the site relative to its eligibility for listing on the state registry, identify additional potentially responsible parties, and obtain public input and information regarding the appropriate use of land on which the site that is the subject of this notice is located. The public meeting is not a contested case hearing under the Texas Administrative Procedure Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001).

All persons desiring to make comments may do so prior to or at the public meeting. All comments submitted prior to the public meeting must be received by 5:00 p.m., April 26, 2006, and should be sent in writing to Kristian Mauricio, Project Manager, TCEQ, Remediation Division, MC 136, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or facsimile at (512) 239-2450. The public comment period for this action will end at the close of the public meeting on April 27, 2006.

A portion of the record for this site, including documents pertinent to the executive director's determination of eligibility, is available for review at the Temple Public Library, 100 West Adams Avenue, Temple, Texas 76501, (254) 298-5702, during regular business hours. Copies of the complete public record file may be obtained during regular business hours at the commission's Records Management Center, Building E, First Floor, Records Customer Service, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2920. Photocopying of file information is subject to payment of a fee. Parking is available on the east side of Building D, convenient to access ramps that are between Buildings D and E.

Information is also available regarding the state Superfund program on the TCEQ Web site located at www.tceq.state.tx.us/remediation/superfund/index.html .

Notice of Public Hearings on Proposed Revisions to Chapters 101 and 122, to the State Implementation Plan, and to the Texas State Plan for Designated Facilities and Pollutants

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (commission) will conduct public hearings to receive testimony regarding proposed new §§101.501 - 101.504, 101.506, 101.508, 101.601, and 101.602 of 30 TAC Chapter 101, General Air Quality Rules; proposed amendments to §§122.10, 122.12, 122.120, and 122.410, and proposed new §§122.420, 122.422, 122.424, 122.426, 122.428, 122.440, 122.442, 122.444, 122.446, and 122.448 of 30 TAC Chapter 122, Federal Operating Permits Program, under the requirements of Texas Health and Safety Code, §382.017; Texas Government Code, Subchapter B, Chapter 2001; and 40 Code of Federal Regulations §51.102 and §60.23, of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations concerning state implementation plans (SIPs) and state plans for designated facilities and pollutants. The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) provisions requiring these plans are located in FCAA, §110 and §111, respectively. Proposed new §§101.501 - 101.504, 101.506, 101.508, and 101.601 will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the SIP. Proposed new §101.601 and §101.602 will be submitted to the EPA as part of the FCAA, §111 plan.

The commission proposes new §§101.501 - 101.504, 101.506, and 101.508 to incorporate by reference the model trading rule requirements of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and would revise the SIP required under FCAA, §110. CAIR is a federal program promulgated to reduce the interstate transport of fine particulate matter through the control of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and SO 2 emissions. House Bill (HB) 2481, 79th Legislature, 2005, directed the commission to meet the CAIR reduction requirements by incorporating the CAIR model trading rules by reference and participating in an EPA-administered cap and trade program for annual NO x and annual SO 2 emissions. The bill also provided specific direction for the methodology to be used in allocating the NO x trading budget provided to Texas, identified an amount of CAIR NO x allowances to be set aside for new sources, and specified that reductions associated with CAIR would be required only from new and existing electric generating units. The commission also proposes amendments to Chapter 122 to incorporate the permitting requirements for CAIR and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) by reference. The CAIR and CAMR permits will establish federal enforceability of the CAIR and CAMR trading programs by listing all applicable requirements of the trading programs applicable to each CAIR and CAMR unit at the source. (Rule Project Number 2005-046-101-EN)

The commission proposes new §101.601 and §101.602 to incorporate by reference the model trading rule requirements of the CAMR, and would revise the FCAA, §111 state plan. CAMR is a federal program promulgated to permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from new and existing coal-fired electric generating units nationwide. HB 2481 directed the commission to meet the CAMR reduction requirements by incorporating the CAMR model trading rules by reference and participating in an EPA-administered cap and trade program for annual mercury emissions. (Rule Project Number 2005-047-101-EN)

The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not, in some cases, required to pay a $50.00, $100, or $300 ticket. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "JOKER’S WILD" Instant Game prize of $1,000, the claimant must sign the winning ticket and present it at one of the Texas Lottery’s Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "JOKER’S WILD" Instant Game prize, the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete a claim form, and mail both to: Texas Lottery Commission, Post Office Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The risk of sending a ticket remains with the claimant. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct a sufficient amount from the winnings of a person who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission;

2. delinquent in making child support payments administered or collected by the Office of the Attorney General;

3. delinquent in reimbursing the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for a benefit granted in error under the food stamp program or the program of financial assistance under Chapter 31, Human Resources Code;

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the ticket presented for payment; or

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of less than $600 from the "JOKER’S WILD" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of more than $600 from the "JOKER’S WILD" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code, §466.408. Any prize not claimed within that period and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales, and number of prizes claimed. An Instant Game ticket may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Instant Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of an Instant Game ticket in the space designated, a ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Instant Game tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Instant Game ticket.

4.0 Number and Value of Instant Prizes. There will be approximately 13,200,000 tickets in the Instant Game No. 673. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:

Figure 3: 16 TAC GAME NO. 673 - 4.0

A. The actual number of tickets in the game may be increased or decreased at the sole discretion of the Texas Lottery Commission.

5.0 End of the Instant Game. The Executive Director may, at any time, announce a closing date (end date) for the Instant Game No. 673 without advance notice, at which point no further tickets in that game may be sold.

6.0 Governing Law. In purchasing an Instant Game ticket, the player agrees to comply with, and abide by, these Game Procedures for Instant Game No. 673, the State Lottery Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 466), applicable rules adopted by the Texas Lottery pursuant to the State Lottery Act and referenced in 16 TAC Chapter 401, and all final decisions of the Executive Director.

Texas Board of Professional Engineers

Record Drawing Policy Advisory Initial Notice for Stakeholders

The Texas Board of Professional Engineers (Board) is given authority to issue advisory opinions under Subchapter M, Chapter 1001 of the Occupations Code (Texas Engineering Practice Act). The Board is required to issue an advisory opinion about interpretations of the Texas Engineering Practice Act in regard to a specific existing or hypothetical factual situation if requested by a person and to respond to that request within 180 days.

Pursuant to that requirement, the Board hereby notifies potential stakeholders that it has initiated the process to develop an advisory opinion regarding record drawings. One scenario involves the construction of a subdivision by a developer. The roads and utilities may be installed prior to being annexed by or under the jurisdiction of the local municipality and so they may not be considered public works during construction. However, city officials will require an engineer to seal the plans, upon annexation. The Board does not consider documentation of what was actually constructed to be engineering. If an engineer did not supervise the engineering construction, he will only be able to attest to the accuracy of the drawings with a notation as to what he can actually confirm or observe. Therefore, an engineer may include a caveat on the drawing with a notation as to what he can actually confirm based on the information he can obtain through observation, interviews, samples, and other useful information. Due to the nature of the request, we expect to have input from those agencies or companies that work on subdivisions and others that may have interest in this topic. The Board has developed a stakeholder process to gather information from professional engineers, consultants and other interested parties. The policy advisory will be written with consideration given to stakeholder comments. This notice is intended to generate a list of possible stakeholders and to initiate public comment. The Board plans to schedule a stakeholder meeting in April 2006. Stakeholder contact information and comments received during the posting period will be considered in the policy advisory and the scheduling of the stakeholder meeting. Comments and stakeholder information should be directed to:

Texas Department of Transportation

Notice of Request for Proposal

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announces a Request for Proposal (RFP) for intercity bus mobility projects funded through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) §5311(f) intercity bus program. TxDOT anticipates that the Texas Transportation Commission will select multiple projects. Project selection will be administered by the Public Transportation Division (PTN). Selected projects will be awarded in the form of grants, with payments made for allowable reimbursable expenses or for defined deliverables. The proposer will become a subrecipient of TxDOT.

Purpose : The RPF invites proposals for services to develop, promote, or support intercity bus mobility. The objectives for these proposals are to support the connection between nonurbanized areas and the larger regional or national system of intercity bus service, to support services to meet the intercity travel needs of residents in nonurbanized areas, or to support the infrastructure of the intercity bus network through planning, marketing assistance, and capital investment in facilities. In the process of meeting these objectives, projects must support and promote the coordination of public transportation services across geographies, jurisdictions, and program areas. Coordination between nonurbanized and urbanized areas and between client transportation services and other types of public transportation are particular objectives.

Eligible Projects : Eligible types of projects have been defined by TxDOT in accordance with FTA guidelines, other laws and regulations, and in consultation with members of the public transportation and the intercity bus industries. These include projects for facilities, vehicle capital, planning, marketing, and operating assistance.

Eligible Applicants : Proposers shall be required to enter into a grant agreement as a subrecipient of TxDOT. Eligible subrecipients include state agencies, local public bodies and agencies, private nonprofit organizations, operators of public transportation services, and private for-profit operators.

Availability of Funds : In accordance with Transportation Code, Chapter 455, TxDOT currently provides funding for intercity bus mobility projects, funded through FTA §5311(f) intercity bus program. Upon full reauthorization of the federal transit appropriations bill, the total amount available is expected to be $3.9 million dollars.

Work Package : All proposals must demonstrate how they address intercity bus mobility needs. To aid proposers in documenting these needs and developing proposals in response, TxDOT has prepared a work package of intercity bus inventory data, demographics, and thematic maps. The work package is available on the PTN website at http://www.dot.state.tx.us/ptn/geninfo.htm . The work package represents the best available data compiled with professional judgment. Data are derived from multiple sources, some of which are known to be incomplete and inaccurate. Part of the reason for publishing this work package is to provide the intercity bus industry with an opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of this compiled data, propose projects to improve or extend the inventories, and to note discrepancies and suggest corrections. Documentation of needs must be based on the TxDOT work package unless an alternative source of data can be demonstrated to be superior.

Review and Award Criteria : Proposals will be evaluated against a matrix of criteria and then prioritized. Subject to available funding, TxDOT is placing no preconditions on the number or on the types of projects to be selected for funding. During the evaluation phase of each proposal, TxDOT reserves the right to conduct formal negotiations pertaining to a proposer’s initial responses, specifications, and prices. An approximate balance in funding awarded to the five types of projects, or an approximate geographic balance of selected projects, may be seen as appropriate, depending on the proposals that are received. TxDOT may consider these additional criteria when recommending prioritized projects to the Texas Transportation Commission.

The University of Texas System

Invitation for Consultants to Provide Offers of Consulting Services

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2254, Texas Government Code, The University of Texas System (the "University") is currently seeking a marketing/advertising consultant to help brand and position the University. The University seeks to enhance the public’s knowledge and understanding of the breadth and scope of The University of Texas System and its 15 institutions, their impact on the State of Texas in a variety of areas, including healthcare, the economy, K-16 education, and research breakthroughs.

The University is looking for a Proposer to provide the assistance the University requires to conduct research interviews with key audiences and analyze that data, to conduct media planning, and to draft a creative strategy that will be used to develop creative concepts.

The Chancellor has made a finding that the Consulting Services are necessary. While the University has a substantial need for the Consulting Services, the University does not currently have staff with expertise or experience with the Consulting Services; and the University cannot obtain such Consulting Services through a contract with another State governmental entity.

The award for services will be made by the University basing its choice on demonstrated competence, knowledge and qualifications and on the reasonableness of the proposed fee for the services; and if other considerations are equal, the University will give preference to a consultant whose principal place of business is in the state or who will manage the consulting contract wholly from an office in the state.

The individual to be contacted with an offer to provide such consulting services or to obtain a copy of the Invitation for Offers for the consulting services identified in this invitation is:
