The Texas Historical Commission (Commission) is adopting new §11.12, relating to Limitations on Responses to Public Information Requests of Title 13, Part 2, Chapter 11 of the Texas Administrative Code without changes to the proposed text as published in the December 5, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 9841). The purpose of this section is to implement Texas Government Code §552.275, which allows governmental bodies to set limitations on the amount of time a governmental body must spend responding to requests under the Public Information Act without charging the requestor for the personnel time spent responding to the requests. This proposal would set that limit at 36 hours, as allowed by the statute.
No comments were received regarding new §11.12. The section will take effect 20 days after filing with the Texas Register.
The new rule is adopted under the Texas Government Code §442.005(q), which provides the Commission with authority to promulgate rules that will reasonably effect the purposes of that chapter, and Texas Government Code §552.275, which provides that governmental bodies may adopt rules on this subject.
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.
