Part 1. TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION
Chapter 3. STATE PUBLICATIONS DEPOSITORY PROGRAM
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission adopts without changes amendments to 13 TAC §§3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 regarding the State Publications Depository Program, posted in the February 22, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 1480). The revisions update definitions of terms; clarify when new versions of a document must be deposited through the program; update procedures the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and state agencies follow to enable their Internet-based publications to be searched and archived under the new TRAIL technology; and exempt certain state publications from deposit.
No comments were received during the comment period.
The amendments are adopted under Government Code §441.102 which authorizes the commission to adopt rules "for the distribution of state publications to depository libraries and for the retention of those publications," and to "establish and maintain a system, named the 'Texas Records and Information Locator,' or 'TRAIL,' to allow electronic access, including access through the Internet, at the Texas State Library and other depository libraries to state publications that have been made available to the public through the Internet by or on behalf of a state agency."
The amended section affects Government Code §§441.101 - 441.105.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on April 18, 2008.
