Texas State Agencies are required to conduct a four-year rule review to see whether the reasons for initially adopting their rules continue to exist. The Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) is conducting its four-year rule review, now through 2014. The TBPG wants to make every effort possible to elicit stakeholder participation in this process. There are a number of ways in which stakeholders may actively participate in the process. For information as to how to participate go to: https://tbpg.state.tx.us/rulereview.html.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) adopts the amendment to §7.119 without change to the proposed text as published in the June 7, 2013, issue of the Texas Register (38 TexReg 3495) and will not be republished. This rulemaking is adopted in order to update, by reference, the TCEQ’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) regarding TCEQ environmental reviews of TxDOT highway (transportation) projects. The updates are required to implement the following statutes and legislation. For more information go to: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/sos/Adopted%20Rules/30.ENVIRONMENTAL%20QUALITY.html#168.
