Fisher, Jr. Executive Director Ark-Tex Council of Governments Filed: January 11, 1993 Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner Notice of Rate Ceilings The Consumer Credit Commissioner of Texas has ascertained the following rate ceilings by use of the formulas and methods described in Texas Civil Statutes, Title 79, Articles 1.04, as amended (Texas Civil Statutes, Articles 5069-1.04). [graphic] Issued in Austin, Texas, on January 11, 1993. TRD-9317523 Al Endsley Consumer Credit Commissioner Filed: January 12, 1993 Texas Education Agency Request for Public Comment Pursuant to the requirements of Public Law 100-297, the Texas Education Agency is providing notice and requesting public comment regarding the recommendations made by the Chapter 2 State Advisory Committee on the use of ESEA Chapter 2 federal funds for the 1993-1994 school year, specifically the formula for distributing entitlement funds to local school districts and the special discretionary projects to be conducted by the agency. The State of Texas will receive approximately $31,664,941 from Chapter 2 of the ESEA for 1993-1994. Of the total amount received, the law requires that not less than 80% (approximately $25,331,953) should be distributed to public school districts on a formula entitlement basis and that no more than 20% (approximately $6,332,988) be reserved by the state education agency to fund special discretionary projects, provide technical assistance to school districts, and administer Chapter 2 programs. The proposed formula to be used to allocate the 80% entitlement funds to local school districts (as constrained by ESEA, Chapter 2 law, Public Law 100-297, sec.1512) is: Step 1-determine public and private nonprofit school enrollment by local education agency (LEA) and for the state; Step 2-determine high cost students (those on free and reduced price lunch) by LEA and for the state. Compare the number and percentage for each category of high cost students (as defined by Public Law 100-297, sec.1572(b)(2)(A)) by LEA to the statewide average number and percentage of high cost students in the computations; Step 3-calculate the per capita amount for the state by dividing the sum of Step 1 plus Step 2 into 80% of the state grant award for Chapter 2; Step 4-multiply the per capita amount computed in Step 3 times the sum of Step 1 plus Step 2 for each LEA. Based upon the most recent data available, the per capita amount for fiscal year 1993 (school year 1992- 1993) is approximately $5.35. The special discretionary projects and funding amounts recommended by the Chapter 2 State Advisory Committee on December 10-11, 1993, for 1993-1994 are as follows: Using Technology for Access to Problem Solving ($750,000); Texas Education Agency Staff Development and Training ($160,000); Effective Middle Schools Project ($678,469; includes a new component for services to gifted/talented students); Texas Excellence and Equity Initiative (TEEI)($2, 294,549; formerly Education Service Center Funding for Targeted Campuses-Texas Renewal Initiative and Enabling Equity on Elementary Campuses Through Capacity Enhancement); Partnership Schools Initiative ($385,000); Accelerated Tutorials for Students in At-Risk Situations ($481,732); and State Administration-maximum of $1,583,247 (approximate) may be reserved by the agency for administrational expenditures related to planning, supervising, monitoring, evaluating, and operating Chapter 2 programs; to provide technical assistance in implementing targeted assistance programs; and for activities to carry out effective schools programs. The Chapter 2 Advisory Committee recommended not funding the Texas School Improvement Initiative (TSII)($296, 000); Evaluation of Prekindergarten Programs and School Counseling and Guidance Services ($79,423); Cooperative Superintendency Program ($297,481); and Teacher Preparation: Impact on Quality of Instruction ($65,000). The State Board of Education will consider funding for projects recommended by the Advisory Committee at the March 1993 board meeting. Any comments received from the public regarding the formula for distributing the 80% funds to school districts or for the funding of special discretionary projects will be submitted to the board at that time. Comments regarding the use of the Chapter 2 funds for 1993-1994 should be addressed to Earin Martin, Chapter 2 State Coordinator, Texas Education Agency, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, and must be received by Monday, February 1, 1993. Questions regarding this matter should be directed to Ms. Martin at (512) 463-9269. Issued in Austin, Texas, on January 13, 1993. TRD-9317576 Lionel R.

The Texas Department of Health (department) is requesting proposals for "LEPC Development Grants" to be awarded to counties or cities governing Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) to further their work in chemical emergency planning and community right-to-know. Description of Activities. LEPCs are mandated by the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA or SARA, Title III) to provide planning and information for the community relating to chemicals in use, storage and transit. A grant may be used by a LEPC in various ways, depending on a community's needs. Eligible Applicants. Each proposal shall be developed by a LEPC, in cooperation with the county and local governments. The proposal must be approved by a vote of the LEPC and endorsed by the county judge or the head of a local government entity, whichever exercises control over the LEPC. The county or local supporters must support the costs until reimbursement is made by the department through monthly billings. Budget Limitations. The grants will have a total funding of $75, 000 (one time only) from state fee funds. Proposals will be capped at $3,000 each, unless multiple LEPCs in separate counties join in a grant proposal which will be capped at $3,000 per county covered. In counties where there are multiple LEPCs, each LEPC can submit separate proposals or joint proposals, which will be capped at $3,000. The projects must be related to protecting vulnerable populations (schools, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) from exposures resulting from chemical accidents, planning, responding or training for chemical emergencies, or providing right-to-know information to the community. Any proposals for equipment must show how the equipment will be used for one of the previously mentioned purposes. Examples of Proposals. Grants could include purchasing a computer or portable facsimile transmittal machine, partially defraying the costs for a public warning system, printing and mailing costs for outreach to industry or the public, training costs for emergency responders, personal protective equipment or hazardous materials response gear, hiring temporary facilitators to organize or to augment chemical inventory data, or improving pre-incident planning utilizing chemical inventory data. Final Selection and Contract Period. The Hazard Communication Branch at the department shall review the proposals with the assistance of department's Bureau of Emergency Management and the Department of Public Safety's Division of Emergency Management. The department is under no obligation to award all of the grants. Grant contracts begin May 1, 1993, and end August 31, 1993. Application Forms and Deadline.
