Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that state agency actions, subdivision actions and general plans subject to the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) are consistent with the CMP goals and policies. The commissioner of the General Land Office (commissioner) intends to use the consistency process to:

(1) adequately identify, address, and resolve consistency issues to the maximum extent practicable prior to final agency action;

(2) minimize the number of actions referred to the commissioner for review or study by ensuring adequate review at the agency level and by referring to the commissioner only those actions that present unique or significant consistency issues;

(3) avoid the creation of an additional layer of bureaucracy;

(4) avoid subjecting to regulation actions not currently subject to regulation; and

(5) provide procedural safeguards to ensure proper notice, opportunity for hearing, and fairness in decision-making.

(b) Accordingly, it is the intent of the commissioner that consistency be achieved primarily through individual agency rules that will reflect the CMP goals and policies.
