The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board proposes amendments to §153.1, Definitions. These amendments would add the terms "appraisal process" and "workfile" to the TALCB rule definition. Concurrent proposed amendments to §153.15, Experience Required for Certification or Licensing, use the two terms in paragraph(f)(2).

Renil C. Liner, Commissioner, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, has determined that for the first five-year period the amendment is in effect, there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government.

Mr. Liner also has determined that for each year of the first five years this amendment is in effect, the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the amendment will be to inform licensees and the public as to the meaning of two new terms used in the TALCB rules. There will be no effect on small businesses. There is no additional economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the amendments as proposed.

Comments on the proposal may be submitted Renil C. Liner, Commissioner, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188.

The amendments are proposed under the Powers and Duties of the Board, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act, §5 (Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a.2), which provides the board with authority to adopt rules.

Section 9, Licensing and Certification Requirements, of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act (Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a.2) may be affected by the proposed amendment.
