There is no additional anticipated cost to persons who are required to comply with the repeal as proposed. There will be no adverse economic effect on small or micro businesses.
Comments on the proposed repeal may be submitted in writing to Kevin Hamby, General Counsel, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, P.O. Box 13941, Austin, Texas 78711-3941, or by e-mail to kevin.hamby@tdhca.state.tx.us. To be considered, a written comment must be received on or before the 21st day after the date the proposed repeal is published in the Texas Register.
This repeal will affect 10 TAC Chapter 60. The provisions of the repealed sections will be incorporated in Chapter 60.
The repeal is proposed under Texas Government Code, Chapter 2306.
The statutory provisions (as currently in effect) affected by the proposed repeal are contained in Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 1.
