In response to the advance notice, the OCCC received one informal precomment from an individual in the gold buying business.

The commission received no official comments in response to that notice. The commission believes that the reasons for initially adopting the rules contained in this subchapter continue to exist.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has completed its Rule Review of 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 290, Public Drinking Water, as required by Texas Government Code, §2001.039. Texas Government Code, §2001.039, requires a state agency to review and consider for readoption, readoption with amendments, or repeal each of its rules every four years. TCEQ published its Notice of Intent to Review these rules in the June 30, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 3523).
The review assessed whether the initial reasons for adopting the rules continue to exist and TCEQ has determined that those reasons exist. The rules in Chapter 290 are required because Subchapters D - F and H protect the public health and welfare by assuring the microbiological, chemical, and radiological quality of public water supplies; assuring an adequate quantity of drinking water; assuring that new systems are financially stable and technically sound; establishing fees for these services; and assuring minimally acceptable operating practices for public water systems. Specifically, Subchapters D - F and H set forth the requirements for water treatment plant design, operation, and maintenance; establish fees for services provided by TCEQ to public water systems; identify standards regarding drinking water quality and monitoring and reporting requirements; and provide the minimum requirements for the content of annual consumer confidence reports. These rules implement the provisions in the Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), Chapter 341, Subchapter C, including, but not limited to, THSC, §341.031, which allows TCEQ to adopt and enforce rules to implement the federal Safe Drinking Water Act; THSC, §341.0315, which provides TCEQ with the authority to ensure that public drinking water supply systems supply safe drinking water; THSC, §341.034, which requires TCEQ to adopt rules establishing classes of certificates, duration of certificates, and fees; THSC, §341.035, which requires the executive director to approve a business plan and the plans and specifications for a system before a system may begin construction of a public water supply system; and THSC, §341.041, which allows TCEQ to charge fees to a person who owns, operates, or maintains a public drinking water supply system.
The rules in Subchapter G establish procedures for listing plumbing fixtures meeting the water saving performance standards; to establish labeling requirements for clothes washing and dishwashing machines and lawn sprinklers; and to provide for fees and penalties. These rules implement the provisions in THSC, Chapter 372, including, but not limited to, THSC, §372.002, which requires TCEQ to maintain a current list of plumbing fixtures that are certified to TCEQ by the manufacturer or importer to meet the saving performance standards established by THSC, §372.002(b), and §372.003, which requires TCEQ to adopt rules for the marking or labeling of plumbing fixtures.
