TITLE 22. EXAMINING BOARDS
PART 22. TEXAS STATE BOARD OF
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY
CHAPTER 513. REGISTRATION
SUBCHAPTER B. REGISTRATION OF CPA
FIRMS
22 TAC 513.15
The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (Board) proposes
an amendment to 513.15 concerning Firm Offices.
The amendment to 513.15 will allow resident managers to man-
age more than one office.William Treacy, Executive Director of the Board, has determined
that for the first five-year period the proposed amendment will be
in effect:
A. the additional estimated cost to the state expected as a result
of enforcing or administering the amendment will be negligible
because the amendment does not impose additional burdens
upon the state.
B. the estimated reduction in costs to the state and to local gov-
ernments as a result of enforcing or administering the amend-
ment will be negligible because the amendment does not create
a reduction in costs.
C. the estimated loss or increase in revenue to the state as a
result of enforcing or administering the amendment will be negli-
gible because the amendment does not increase fees, nor does
it decrease revenues.
Mr. Treacy has determined that for the first five-year period the
amendment is in effect the public benefits expected as a result
of adoption of the proposed amendment will be a clarification of
the resident manager role.
The probable economic cost to persons required to comply with
the amendment will be no greater than the firm license fee al-
ready required for certain firms.
Mr. Treacy has determined that a Local Employment Impact
Statement is not required because the proposed amendment will
not affect a local economy.
The Board requests comments on the substance and effect of
the proposed amendment from any interested person. Com-
ments must be received at the Board no later than noon on Oc-
tober 21, 2006. Comments should be addressed to J. Randel
(Jerry) Hill, General Counsel, Texas State Board of Public Ac-
countancy, 333 Guadalupe, Tower 3, Suite 900, Austin, Texas
78701 or faxed to his attention at (512) 305-7854.
Mr. Treacy has determined that the proposed amendment will
not have an adverse economic effect on small businesses be-
cause it does not impose additional burdens upon those busi-
nesses that must comply with the rule.
The Board specifically invites comments from the public on the
issues of whether or not the proposed amendment will have an
adverse economic effect on small business; if the amendment is
believed to have such an effect, then how may the Board legally
and feasibly reduce that effect considering the purpose of the
statute under which the amendment is to be adopted; and if the
amendment is believed to have such an effect, how the cost of
compliance for a small business compares with the cost of com-
pliance for the largest business affected by the amendment un-
der any of the following standards: (a) cost per employee; (b)
cost for each hour of labor; or (c) cost for each $100 of sales.
See Texas Government Code, 2006.002(c).
The amendment is proposed under the Public Accountancy Act
("Act"), Texas Occupations Code, 901.151 which authorizes the
Board to adopt rules deemed necessary or advisable to effectu-
ate the Act.
No other article, statute or code is affected by this proposed
amendment.
513.15. Firm Offices
(a) A Certified Public Accountancy Firm must hold a license
for each office in which the firm offers services to the public in Texas.31 TexReg 8328 October 6, 2006 Texas Register
