The Comptroller of Public Accounts adopts an amendment to §9.3064, concerning public notice of protest and appeal forms, without changes to the proposed text as published in the July 30, 2010, issue of the Texas Register (35 TexReg 6638).

This section is being amended to more thoroughly specify minimum standards for the form and content of the notice required pursuant to Tax Code, §41.70 and to increase administrative efficiency by providing for comptroller revision of applicable forms. The amendment is a result of a rule review of Texas Administrative Code, Title 34, Part 1, Chapter 9, Subchapter H, conducted by the comptroller. The rule review was performed pursuant to Government Code, §2001.039 and resulted in a determination that the reasons for initially adopting §9.3064 continue to exist.

No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.

This amendment is adopted pursuant to Government Code, §2001.039(c), which authorizes the readoption of a rule with amendments upon agency assessment, in conducting a rule review, of whether the reasons for initially adopting the rule continue to exist.

This amendment implements Tax Code, §41.70.
