Texas Community Development Pro-

Subchapter A. Allocation of Program Funds
10 TAC 9.1, 9.7
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TD-
HCA) proposes amendments to 9.1 and 9.7, concerning the
allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) non-
entitlement area funds under the Texas Community Develop-
ment Program (TCDP). The amendments are being proposed
to establish a date of abolishment for the State Community De-
velopment Review Committee; to recognize that the Texas De-
partment of Commerce is now named the Texas Department of
Economic Development; to establish standards and procedures
for the allocation of fiscal year 1997 economic development
funds; and to make changes to the application and selection
criteria for the Texas Capital Fund.
Ruth Cedillo, director of the Texas Community Development
Program, has determined that for the period that the sections
are in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or
local government as a result of enforcing or administering the
sections.
Ms. Cedillo also has determined that for the period that
the sections are in effect, the public benefit as a result
of enforcing the sections will be the equitable allocation of
CDBG non-entitlement area funds to eligible units of general
local government in Texas. There will be no effect on small
businesses. There are no anticipated economic costs to
persons who are required to comply with the sections as
proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Anne Paddock
(apaddock@genesis.tdhca.state.tx.us), Deputy General Coun-sel, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, 507
Sabine, P.O. Box 13941, Austin, Texas 78711-3941.
The amendments are proposed under Texas Government Code,
Chapter 2306, 2306.098, which provides TDHCA with the
authority to allocate Community Development Block Grant non-
entitlement area funds to eligible counties and municipalities
according to department rules.
Texas Government Code, Chapter 2306, 2306.098 is affected
by the proposed amendments.
