Title 1, Part 5
Pursuant to the notice of the proposed rule review published in the December 21, 2007, issue of the Texas Register (32 TexReg 9735), the Texas Facilities Commission (Commission) has reviewed and considered for readoption, revision, or repeal Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Part 5, Chapter 122, Facilities Space Planning, in accordance with Texas Government Code §2001.039 (Vernon 2000). The Commission has considered, among other things, whether the agency rulemaking authority and business necessity for adoption of these rules continue to exist.
No comments were received on the proposed rule review.
During its review, the Commission determined that the agency rulemaking authority remains in effect and the business necessity for these rules also continues to exist. The Commission intends to readopt Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Part 5, §§122.1 - 122.3, as these rules were promulgated to direct space planning for state-owned and state-leased facilities, including state agency requests for space allocation, relinquishment, or modification. In addition, this chapter establishes general space allocation guidelines, provides for state agency requests for waivers from such guidelines, and also establishes an appeal process from Commission determinations concerning space allocation. Revisions to these rules, however, are required to reflect the recent agency name change by updating references throughout the chapter and an agency Internet website address, to delete definitions that are no longer in use, and to correct typographical errors, including reformatting. Through a concurrent notice of proposed rules, the Commission readopts 1 Texas Administrative Code §§122.1 - 122.3 with amendments.
These rules are readopted under the statutory authority granted to the Commission in Texas Government Code, §2165.104(c) (Vernon Supp. 2007) and §2165.108 (Vernon 2000).
This completes the Commission's review of Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Part 5, Chapter 122, Facilities Space Planning.
