| Purpose: |
To receive public comments concerning rule revisions to 43 TAC
Chapter 2. |
||
| Description: |
The 82nd Texas Legislature, in passing Senate Bill 548, Senate Bill 1420 and House Bill 630, enacted Transportation Code, Chapter 201, Subchapter I-1, setting forth new requirements for the environmental review of highway projects, and requiring the department to adopt rules implementing Subchapter I-1. These same three bills also enacted Transportation Code, §222.006, Environmental Review Certification Process, requiring the department to, by rule, establish a process to certify department district environmental specialists who work on documents related to the environmental review process. This proposed rulemaking implements the
recent legislation, and makes other substantive and
non-substantive changes to the department's existing
environmental review rules intended to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the environmental review process for
transportation projects. |
