Chief Clerk

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

Filed: January 30, 2008

Notice of a Proposed Amendment and Renewal of Two General Permits

GENERAL PERMIT TXG830000:

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) proposes to amend and renew a general permit (Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. TXG830000) authorizing the discharge of water contaminated by petroleum fuel or petroleum substances into or adjacent to water in the state. The proposed general permit applies to the entire state of Texas. General permits are authorized by Section 26.040 of the Texas Water Code.

PROPOSED GENERAL PERMIT. The Executive Director has prepared a draft renewal with amendments of an existing general permit that authorizes the discharge of water contaminated by petroleum fuel or petroleum substances. No significant degradation of high quality waters is expected and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The Executive Director proposes to require regulated dischargers to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain authorization for some discharges.

The Executive Director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) according to Coastal Coordination Council (CCC) regulations, and has determined that the action is consistent with applicable CMP goals and policies.

A copy of the proposed general permit and fact sheet are available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk located at the TCEQ's Austin office, at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F. These documents are also available at the TCEQ's sixteen (16) regional offices and on the TCEQ website at http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/permitting/water_quality/wastewater/general/WQ_general_permits.html.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this proposed general permit. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit written or oral comment or to ask questions about the proposed general permit. Generally, the TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the proposed general permit or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

Written public comments must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 within 30 days from the date this notice is published in the Texas Register.

APPROVAL PROCESS. After the comment period, the Executive Director will consider all the public comments and prepare a written response. The response will be filed with the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at least 10 days before the scheduled Commission meeting when the Commission will consider approval of the general permit. The Commission will consider all public comment in making its decision and will either adopt the Executive Director's response or prepare its own response. This draft permit was previously noticed and the initial comment period ended on June 18, 2007. The comments received during the initial comment period will also be addressed in the response. The Commission will issue its written response on the general permit at the same time the Commission issues or denies the general permit. A copy of any issued general permit and response to comments will be made available to the public for inspection at the agency's Austin and regional offices. A notice of the Commissioner's action on the proposed general permit and a copy of its response to comments will be mailed to each person who made a comment. Also, a notice of the Commission's action on the proposed general permit and the text of its response to comments will be published in the Texas Register.

GENERAL PERMIT WQG200000:

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) proposes to amend and renew a general permit (TCEQ Permit No. WQG200000) authorizing the disposal of wastewater generated by manure compost operations adjacent to water in the state. The proposed general permit applies to the entire state of Texas. General permits are authorized by Section 26.040 of the Texas Water Code.

PROPOSED GENERAL PERMIT. The Executive Director has prepared a draft renewal with amendments of an existing general permit that authorizes the disposal of wastewater generated by manure compost operations. The Executive Director proposes to require regulated facilities to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain authorization for disposal.

APPROVAL PROCESS. After the comment period, the Executive Director will consider all the public comments and prepare a written response. The response will be filed with the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at least 10 days before the scheduled Commission meeting when the Commission will consider approval of the general permit. The Commission will consider all public comment in making its decision and will either adopt the Executive Director's response or prepare its own response. This draft permit was previously noticed and the initial comment period ended on September 17, 2007. The Commission will issue its written response on the general permit at the same time the Commission issues or denies the general permit. A copy of any issued general permit and response to comments will be made available to the public for inspection at the agency's Austin and regional offices. A notice of the Commission's action on the proposed general permit and a copy of its response to comments will be mailed to each person who made a comment. Also, a notice of the Commission's action on the proposed general permit and the text of its response to comments will be published in the Texas Register.

Notice of Availibility of the Draft January 2008 Update to the Water Quality Management Plan for the State of Texas

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) announces the availability of the draft January 2008 Update to the Water Quality Management Plan for the State of Texas (draft WQMP update).

The Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is developed and promulgated in accordance with the requirements of Federal Clean Water Act, §208. The draft WQMP update includes projected effluent limits of indicated domestic dischargers useful for water quality management planning in future permit actions. Once the commission certifies a WQMP update, the update is submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. For some Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permits, the EPA's approval of a corresponding WQMP update is a necessary precondition to TPDES permit issuance by the commission. The draft WQMP update may contain service area populations for listed wastewater treatment facilities and designated management agency information.

A copy of the draft January 2008 WQMP update may be found on the commission's Web site located at http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/nav/eq/eq_wqmp.html . A copy of the draft may also be viewed at the TCEQ Library, Building A, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas.

Public Notice

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit an amendment to the Deaf Blindness and Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) program waiver, which is a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver under the authority of §1915(c) of the Social Security Act.

The current §1915(c) waiver is approved from March 1, 2003, to February 29, 2008. The DBMD program serves individuals 18 years and older who are legally blind; have a chronic, severe hearing impairment; and have a third disability that limits independent functioning. The program serves individuals in the community who would otherwise require care in an Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded and Related Conditions (ICF/MR).

This amendment updates utilization for D and D' cost based upon the Annual Expenditure Report (CMS-372s) for Waiver Year 4, updates cost per unit by taking the weighted average for state fiscal years 2007 and 2008, and expresses units as rounded annual units per client; revises the waiver to indicate that individuals will not be denied eligibility because the estimated cost of waiver services exceeds the average cost of institutional services; and adjusts the financial documentation to reflect the new reimbursement rates.

HHSC is requesting that the waiver amendment be approved for a seven-month period beginning September 1, 2007, through February 29, 2008. This amendment maintains cost neutrality of service-costs for federal fiscal years 2007 through 2008.

To obtain copies of the proposed waiver, interested parties may contact Carmen Samilpa-Hernandez, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 85200, mail code H-620, Austin, Texas 78708-5200, phone (512) 491-1128, fax (512) 491-1953, e-mail Carmen.Samilpa-Hernandez@hhsc.state.tx.us.

Public Notice of Intent

Texas Health and Human Service Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit a waiver renewal for the STAR Program (STAR) under the authority of §1915(b) of the Social Security Act.

The current 1915(b) waiver is approved from September 1, 2006, to August 31, 2008. The principle objectives of STAR are early intervention and improved access to quality care, resulting in improved health outcomes for Medicaid recipients who receive cash assistance (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)), pregnant women and recipients with limited income with a special focus on prenatal and well-child care. Clients enrolled in STAR receive all of the traditional Medicaid benefits plus the added STAR benefits that include annual check-ups for adults, unlimited prescriptions for adults, no limit on necessary hospital days, and health education classes.

HHSC is requesting that the waiver application be approved for a two-year period beginning July 1, 2008, and ending June 30, 2010. This waiver application is expected to result in cost savings for the state for each year in the two-year period covering 2008 through 2010.

The proposed waiver is estimated to result in total cost savings of approximately ($545 million), with approximately ($324 million) cost savings in federal funds and ($221 million) cost savings in state general revenue. First year savings are approximately ($257 million), with approximately ($153 million) cost savings in federal funds and ($104 million) in state general revenue. Second year savings are approximately ($288 million), with approximately ($171 million) cost savings in federal funds and ($117 million) in state general revenue.

To obtain additional information or copies of the waiver application, interested parties may contact Carmen Samilpa-Hernandez by mail at Texas Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 13247, H-600, Austin, Texas 78711; by telephone at (512) 491-1128; by facsimile at (512) 491-1953; or by e-mail at carmen.samilpa-hernandez@hhsc.state.tx.us.

Instant Game Number 1095 "Set for Life"

The Texas Lottery Commission filed for publication Instant Game Number 1095 "Set for Life". The document was published in the December 21, 2007, issue of the Texas Register (32 TexReg 9863). The sections regarding annuity payment options for the top prize amount were changed after the game procedure was published in the Texas Register. Sections 1.0.I, 2.0, 2.3.C and 2.3.D now read as follows:

1.0 Name and Style of Game.

I. High-Tier Prize--A prize of $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000/WK ($5,000 per week not to exceed $5,000,000).

2.0 Determination of Prize Winners. The determination of prize winners is subject to the general ticket validation requirements set forth in Texas Lottery Rule §401.302, Instant Game Rules, these Game Procedures, and the requirements set out on the back of each instant ticket. A prize winner in the "SET FOR LIFE" Instant Game is determined once the latex on the ticket is scratched off to expose 44 (forty-four) play symbols. If the player matches any of YOUR NUMBERS to any of the WINNING NUMBERS, the player wins the PRIZE shown for that number. If the player reveals a COIN SYMBOL, the player wins the PRIZE shown instantly. If the player reveals a STAR SYMBOL, the player wins 10 times the prize shown. If the player reveals a LIFE SYMBOL, the player wins $5,000 a week (not to exceed $5,000,000 total). No portion of the display printing nor any extraneous matter whatsoever shall be usable or playable as a part of the Instant Game.

2.3 Procedure for Claiming Prizes.

C. To claim a "SET FOR LIFE" top level prize of $5,000 per week, (not to exceed $5,000,000 total), the claimant must sign the winning ticket and present it at Texas Lottery Commission headquarters in Austin, Texas. 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.

D. When claiming a "SET FOR LIFE" Instant Game prize of $5,000 per week, (not to exceed $5,000,000 total), the claimant must choose one of the four (4) payment options for receiving the prize:

1. Weekly via direct deposit to the winner's account. With this plan, upon validation of the prize, 52 weekly payments of $5,000, less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, will be made each Wednesday up to $260,000 per year. Additional payment(s) may be made to reach the total maximum payment of $5,000,000. *NOTE: The investment is based on 52 weeks per year. Some years may have 53 weeks per year, however, only 52 weeks per year will be paid. On years with 53 weeks, no payment will be made on the last Wednesday in December.

2. Monthly via direct deposit to the winner's account. With this plan, upon validation of the prize, an initial payment of $21,674 less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, will be made each year on the first business day of the month of the claim. A payment of $21,666 less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, will be made on the first business day for the remaining eleven months of each year for a combined total of up to $260,000 per year. Monthly payments will be made for a period 231 months with the final payment of $16,660 less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, to reach the total maximum payment of $5,000,000.

3. Quarterly via direct deposit to the winner's account. With this plan, upon validation of the prize, a payment of $65,000 less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, will be made four times a year on the first business day of the first month of each calendar quarter (January, April, July, October) for a total of $260,000 per year. Quarterly payments will be made for approximately 19 years for a total of 77 quarters with the final quarterly payment of $60,000 less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, to reach the total maximum payment of $5,000,000.

4. Annually via direct deposit to the winner's account. With this plan, upon validation of the prize, a payment of $260,000 less any taxes and/or other offsets or mandatory withholdings required by law, will be made once a year on the first business day of the anniversary month of the claim. Annual payments will be made for a period of 19 years or a total of 19 annual payments.

Request for Proposals

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT or commission) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a person or entity to provide consulting and/or testifying expert services in connection with a contested case concerning abuse of market power.

The PUCT is responsible for monitoring market power associated with the generation and sale of electricity in Texas. Texas Utilities Code §39.157(a). The PUCT is assisted by a wholesale electric market monitor, known as the Independent Market Monitor (IMM). Texas Utilities Code §39.1515.

In 2006, the IMM conducted an investigation into the bidding behavior of Luminant, the power generation subsidiary of Energy Future Holdings (formerly TXU Corp.) during the summer of 2005. The IMM concluded that Luminant's behavior constituted an abuse of market power and increased balancing energy prices by an average of 15.5%. As a result, on March 28, 2007, the Commission's Executive Director filed a Notice of Violation (NOV) recommending the assessment of administrative penalties against the company.

The Commission contemplates that the successful proposer will assist commission staff by performing some or all of the following services: reviewing discovery material; evaluating testimony by Luminant; consulting with staff's experts; preparing responsive testimony; and appearing at a hearing to defend the testimony.

Proposers should have experience in analyzing market power issues in the context of competitive wholesale electric generation and sales, and in providing consulting expert services and/or expert witness services. The PUCT encourages Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) to compete for this award.

The PUCT shall make the selection and award on the basis of the proposer's demonstrated knowledge, competence, and qualifications to provide the services outlined in the RFP and on the reasonableness of the proposed fee.

All other factors being equal, preference will be given to a proposer whose principal place of business is in the state or who will manage the consulting contract wholly from an office in the state.

RFP documentation may be obtained by contacting Cindy Wilson, cindy.wilson@puc.state.tx.us, Purchaser, at (512) 936-7069, Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, TX 78711-3326.
