cation period.
(d) The number of continuing edu-
cation points required for each three years
is six points in general training and three
points in each category in which the appli-
cator is certified. Applicators who become
certified in additional categories during
their three year recertification period will be
permitted to obtain a prorated number of
points in those categories for each year
remaining in the period.
(e) A standing training and evalua-
tion committee is hereby created to evaluate
continuing education programs, and assign
the number of category points for each one.
No more than one point will be assigned for
any hour of net actual instruction time. The
committee will present the board with crite-

cation programs and instructors. These
criteria will become the subject of board
rulemaking. The criteria shall be made
available to the public upon request. The
committee will consider, inter alia, the tech-
nical information given, the qualifications
of the instructor, and the amount of actual
training time devoted to each program in
the process of evaluation. The committee
will report its recommendation regarding
the number of category points, if any, to be
assigned to each program to the executive
director of the Structural Pest Control
Board. The executive director will then de-
cide whether to accept, reject, or modify the
committee's recommendation. The execu-
tive director's decision shall be part of his
regular report to the board.
(f) The members of the Evaluation
Committee will consist of a representative
of the Head of the Entomology Department
at Texas A&M University, a representative
of the Dean of Agriculture at Texas Tech
University, a representative from the Com-
mission of Health, a representative from the
pest control industry, a representative of a
pest control supplier or manufacturer, an
appointed member of the Structural Pest
Control Board, and the executive director of
the Structural Pest Control Board. The rep-
resentatives designated will be authorized to
confer with appropriate specialists for assis-
tance in program evaluations.
(g) The last four members desig-
nated will be appointed on January 1 of
each year by the chairman of the board. In
the event of a vacancy on the committee,
the chairman shall appoint a replacement
within 30 days.
(h) Any person seeking approval of
a training program must submit the infor-
mation required at least 90 days prior to the
starting date of the program. Each submis-
sion shall include:
(1) the course outline;
(2) the names and qualifications
of the instructors;(3) the categories in which
points are requested;
(4) the means of verifying atten-
dance;
(5) an agreement to maintain at-
tendance records for three years and to
make them available to the board on re-
quest;
(6) a facsimile of the certificate
of completion that will be given to attend-
ees; and
(7) additional information re-
quested to assist in the evaluation.
(i) Parts of courses which focus on
promotion of products, policies, or proce-
dures of a company cannot be included for
points. Programs and instructors must be
evaluated each year or more frequently at
the board's discretion. Annual renewals
shall be submitted to the board 90 days
prior to the anniversary date and shall in-
clude all changes to the previous year's
submission.
(j) Each certified applicator shall
keep a certificate of completion for each
course he or she attends for a period of
three years, and submit such records to the
board on request.
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal
has been reviewed by legal counsel and
found to be within the agency's authority to
adopt.

Part I. Texas Department
of Health
Chapter 37. Maternal and
Child Health Services
Chronically Ill and Disabled
Children's Services
* 25 TAC 37.93
The Texas Department of Health proposes an
amendment to 37.93, concerning payment
of services. The amendment will allow the
Chronically Ill and Disabled Children Program
to reimburse providers for services rendered
but not paid when all requirements were met
except the filing dealine. The amendment will
allow the Commissioner of Health to waive
the filing deadlines upon his determination
that good cause and exceptional circum-
stances have been shown.Stephen Seale, chief accountant III, has de-
termined that for the first five-year period that
the section as proposed is in effect there will
be fiscal implications as a result of enforcing
or administering the section. The effect to
state government will be an estimated addi-
tional $200,000 each year for fiscal years
1989-1993. There is no anticipated fiscal im-
plications to local government or small
businesses.
Mr. Seale also has determined that for each
year of the first five years that the section as
proposed is in effect the public benefit antici-
pated as a result of enforcing the section will
be that the CIDC Program will be able to
reimburse more providers for services ren-
dered but not paid when all requirements
were met except the filing deadline. There is
no anticipated economic cost to individuals
who are required to comply with the section
as proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted
to J. S. Barldey-Booher, Chief, Chronically III
and Disabled Children's Services Program,
Texas Department of Health, 1100 West 49th
Street, Austin, Texas 78756. Public com-
ments will be accepted for 30 days after the
proposed section has been published in the
Texas Register.
The amendment is proposed under Texas
Civil Statutes, Article 4419c, 8, which pro-
vide the Texas Board of Health with the au-
thority to adopt rules concerning the
Chronically III and Disabled Children's Ser-
vices Program; and Article 4414b, 1.05,
which provides the Texas Board of Health
with the authority to adopt rules for the perfor-
mance of every duty imposed by law on the
Texas Board of Health, the Texas Depart-
ment of Health, and the Commissioner of
Health.

* 25 TAC 37.97
The Texas Department of Health proposes an
amendment to 37.97, concerning the med-
cal eligibility criteria. The diagnostic medical
codes (ICD-9; International Codes of Diag-
noses, Ninth Edition) that are used in deter-
mining patient medical eligibility for
chronically III and disabled children's (CIDC)
rehabilitation services are being expanded in
two ways.
First, the existing list of medical conditions is
expanded to include secondary conditions of-
ten present with primary diagnosis. Also, all
known ICD-9 codes of coverable conditions
are included since the ICD-9 code structure
includes the same medical condition under
multiple code listings. These changes are be-* Proposed Sections August 5, 1988 13 TexReg 3815
