The Texas Water Development Board seeks public comment on the proposed repeal of §§379.1 - 379.3, relating to Advisory Committees. Chapter 379 lists the Groundwater Availability Modeling (GAM) Technical Advisory Group as an advisory committee. Chapter 379 is no longer necessary because the GAM Technical Advisory Group is not an advisory committee under Texas Government Code §2110.0012. The Board currently has no advisory committees, and there is no state or federal law specifically creating or authorizing the creation of an advisory committee for the board. Comments are due May 11, 2008.
