Box 550, Russellville, Arkansas 72811, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new TCEQ Permit No. WQ0005448000, to authorize the land application of Class B wastewater treatment plant biosolids and water treatment plant residuals for beneficial use on 57 acres. The anticipated date of the first application of Class B biosolids and water treatment residuals, subject to the issuance of the permit, is October 1, 2024. This permit will not authorize a discharge of pollutants into water in the state. TCEQ received this application on October 30, 2023.

The land application unit will be located at 500 Van Zandt County Road 2808, near the City of Mabank, in Van Zandt County, Texas 75147.

The land application unit will be located within the drainage basin of Cedar Creek Reservoir in Segment No. 0818 of the Trinity River Basin.

The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Van Zandt County Library, 317 First Monday Lane, Canton, Texas. This link to an electronic map of the facility's location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The TCEQ will hold a public meeting on this application because it was requested by a state senator and a state representative.

The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. A public meeting will be held and will consist of two parts, an Informal Discussion Period and a Formal Comment Period. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act. During the Informal Discussion Period, the public will be encouraged to ask questions of the applicant and TCEQ staff concerning the permit application. The comments and questions submitted orally during the Informal Discussion Period will not be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application and no formal response will be made. Responses will be provided orally during the Informal Discussion Period. During the Formal Comment Period on the permit application, members of the public may state their formal comments orally into the official record. A written response to all timely, relevant and material, or significant comments will be prepared by the Executive Director. All formal comments will be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application. A copy of the written response will be sent to each person who submits a formal comment or who requested to be on the mailing list for this permit application and provides a mailing address. Only relevant and material issues raised during the Formal Comment Period can be considered if a contested case hearing is granted on this permit application.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for public comments, the Executive Director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. The response to comments, along with the Executive Director's decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who requested to be on a mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.

TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant's name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing." If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group's representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member's location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group's purpose.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or a timely request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and requests to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Water Quality Permit (NORI) and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016440001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Sun Terrell TX WWTP LLC, 27777 Franklin Road, Suite 300, Southfield, Michigan 48034, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016440001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 300,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on October 24, 2023.

This combined notice is being issued to correct the description of the discharge route, and change in the contact person and the phone number that was included in the NORI.

The facility will be located approximately 0.95 miles northeast of the intersection of Flowers Lane (County Road 319) and State Highway 34, in Kaufman County, Texas 75161. The treated effluent will be discharged to a man-made pond, thence to an unnamed tributary, thence to an unnamed impoundment, thence to an unnamed tributary, thence to Kings Creek, thence to Cedar Creek Reservoir in Segment 0818 of the Trinity River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for the man-made pond, the unnamed tributary, and the unnamed impoundment. The designated uses for Segment No. 0818 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. This review has preliminarily determined that no water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses are present within the stream reach assessed; therefore, no Tier 2 degradation determination is required. No significant degradation of water quality is expected in water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses downstream, and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application.

The federal Clean Water Act, §303(c), requires that states publicly review and revise their water quality standards as needed every three years. Revisions are made to: (1) incorporate new information on potential pollutants, (2) include additional data about water quality conditions in specific water bodies, (3) address new state and federal regulatory requirements, and (4) accommodate public concerns and public goals for water quality in the state.

The TCEQ will review and consider preliminary comments during the development of draft proposals for revisions of the Standards. Written responses to these preliminary comments will not be provided. Any proposed revisions, whether resulting from these comments or not, will be subject to a formal public hearing and a public comment period prior to adoption.

Written comments on the Standards may be submitted to Ms. Debbie Miller, MC-234, Water Quality Planning Division, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, or faxed to (512) 239-4410. Electronic comments may be submitted via email to standards@tceq.texas.gov. File size restrictions may apply to comments being submitted via e-mail. All comments should reference the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards.

The preliminary comment period closes at 5:00 p.m. on July 23, 2024.

A copy of the 2022 version of the Standards is available on the Office of the State Secretary's website at: https://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.ViewTAC?tac_view=4&ti=30&pt=1&ch=307&rl=Y.

Public Notice: Amendments to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to submit Transmittal Number 24-0006 to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.

The purpose of this proposed amendment is to implement state statutory requirements in House Bill (H.B.) 1575, related to expanding the types of providers who can provide Case Management for Children and Pregnant Women (CPW) services. The two new provider types are doulas and community health workers.

Additionally, the 88th Legislature modified the eligible postpartum period in H.B. 12 to require continued medical assistance to eligible pregnant women for 12 months. This amendment includes conforming changes made by TN 23-0028 implementing H.B. 12. Other non-substantive updates have been done to formatting and language.

The proposed amendment is effective September 1, 2024.

The proposed amendment is estimated to have no fiscal impact. The addition of new provider types, doulas and community health workers, as eligible Medicaid providers case management services is not expected to increase Medicaid utilization or cost because HHSC already reimburses the existing CPW providers at the same rate for the same services provided by licensed nurses and social workers. Eligible pregnant recipients must continue to qualify by having a high-risk condition.

To obtain copies of the proposed amendment, interested parties may contact Nicole Hotchkiss, State Plan Coordinator, by mail at the Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 13247, Mail Code H-600, Austin, Texas 78711; by telephone at (512) 438-5035; or by email at Medicaid_Chip_SPA_Inquiries@hhsc.state.tx.us. The Access and Eligibility Services for local benefit offices will post and have copies of the amendment available for review.

Key updates include:

--Consolidating the goals to add clarity and efficiency;

--Adding objectives for each goal to ensure that each quality initiative and directed payment program works toward an objective;

--Adding new sections for Healthy Texas Women; Nonemergency Medical--Transportation; the Nonmedical Drivers of Health action plan; Aligning technology by Linking Interoperable Systems; and the Comprehensive Hospital Increase Reimbursement Program;

--Adding visual elements for connections between the goals and objectives and the HHSC quality initiatives implemented to achieve the goals and objectives; and

--Adding an appendix of quality performance measures, their associated HHSC initiatives, and objectives.

Copy of Proposed Update.

When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "ULTIMATE RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game prize the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail.

Mail all to: Texas Lottery Commission, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The Texas Lottery is not responsible for Scratch Tickets lost in the mail. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct the amount of a delinquent tax or other money from the winnings of a prize winner who has been finally determined to be:

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the Scratch Ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "ULTIMATE RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of $600 or more from the "ULTIMATE RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Scratch Ticket Claim Period. All Scratch Ticket prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Scratch Ticket Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code §466.408. Any rights to a prize that is not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each Scratch Ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of Scratch Tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of Scratch Tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. A Scratch Ticket Game may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Scratch Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of a Scratch Ticket in the space designated, a Scratch Ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said Scratch Ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Scratch Tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Scratch Ticket.

4.0 Number and Value of Scratch Prizes. There will be approximately 6,000,000 Scratch Tickets in Scratch Ticket Game No. 2591. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:

Texas Optometry Board

Correction of Error

The Texas Optometry Board proposed the repeal of 22 TAC §280.2 in the June 14, 2024, issue of the Texas Register (49 TexReg 4143).

Due to an error by the Texas Register, the rule was incorrectly listed in the proposed repeal.

The first paragraph of the proposed repeal should read as follows:

The Texas Optometry Board proposes the repeal of 22 TAC Chapter 280 Therapeutic Optometry. The Board is repealing the following rules: §280.2 Required Education; §280.3 Certified Therapeutic Optometrist Examination; and §280.8 Optometric Glaucoma Specialist: Required Education, Examination and Clinical Skills Evaluation.

Also, the repeal was published with the wrong section number. The information should have been published as follows:

§280.2. Required Education.
