Part XXII. Texas State
Board of Public
Accountancy
Chapter 513. Registration
Registration of Offices
*22 TAC 513.62
The Texas State Board of Public Accoun-
tancy proposes an amendment to 513.62,
concerning resident in charge. The amend-
ment provides requirements for the resi-
dent manager/licensee in charge of branch
offices or main offices of firms licensed
with the Texas State Board of Public Ac-
countancy.
Bob E. Bradley, executive director, has de-
termined that for the first five-year period
the proposed section will be in effect
there will be no fiscal implications for
state or local government or small busi-
nesses as a result of enforcing or admin-
istering the section.Mr. Bradley also has determined that for
each year of the first five years the sec-
tion is in effect the public benefit antici-
pated as a result of enforcing the section
will be firm establishment of the supervi-
sory responsibility of the resident person
in charge. There is no anticipated eco-
nomic cost to individuals who are required
to comply with the proposed section.
Comments on the proposal may be sub-
mitted to William A. Sansing, 1033 La Po-
sada, Suite 340, Austin, Texas 78752-3892.
The amendment is proposed under Texas
Civil Statutes, Article 41a-1, 6(a), which
provide the Texas State Board of Public
Accountancy with the authority to promul-
gate rules regarding the resident mana-
ger/licensee in charge of branch offices
or main offices of firms licensed with the
Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.
513.62. Resident Person In Charge [Ap-
plication]. The application for registration
of an office shall state that the resident per-
son in charge of an office identified as the
office of a certified public accountant is a
certified public accountant of Texas, and
that the resident person in charge of an of-
fice identified as the office of a public ac-
countant is a certified public accountant or
a public accountant of Texas. The resident
person in charge of a public accounting of-
fice need not be a partner, incorporator,
stockholder, officer, or director, but the per-
son in charge must hold a license issued
under the Act. No one person may be in
charge of more than one office at the same
time, and each person designated as the resi-
dent person in charge of an office must, in
fact, have overall charge of and responsibili-
ty for the office during all hours of opera-
tion. A resident person in charge of an office
is the person who is directly responsible for
management and supervision of the profes-
sional services of the office. As used herein,
supervision means on-site instruction, direc-
tion, review, and evaluation of all the pro-
fessional services performed in the office.
Mere availability of the resident person in
charge of an office (as by telephone) does
not qualify as supervision.
This agency hereby certifies that the pro-
posal has been reviewed by legal counsel
and found to be within the agency's au-
thority to adopt.

Chapter 139. Abortion
Facilities
Subchapter A. Abortion Facility
Reporting and Licensing
[Abortion Facility Reporting and
Licensing]
*25 TAC 139.2, 139.4
The Texas Department of Health proposes
amendments to existing 139.2 and 139.4
and new 139.13-139.17, concerning abor-
tion facility reporting and licensing, new
139.21-139.23, concerning general
requirements for abortion facilities, new
139.31 and 139.32, concerning existing
abortion facilities, and new 139.41-
139.47, concerning new construction re-
quirements for abortion facilities. Due to
the significance of the public comments
received from the proposals published in
the December 5, 1986, issue of the Texas
Register (11 TexReg 4887-4898), the
department reproposes the amendments
and new sections based on substantive
changes.
The amendment to 139.2 adds two
definitions.
The amendment to 139.4 prohibits the
solicitation of referrals by division of fees.
The amendment to 139.4 also requires
written post abortion care instructions, re-
quire facilities to display their license, and
requires instructions on registering com-
plaints to be provided to the patient or the
legal guardian at the time of admission.
The new sections address equipment for
local anesthesia, clinical standards for
general anesthesia, exemption provisions,
life safety, and maintenance for exempt
facilities. Construction, design, and fire
safety of new and existing facilities ad-
ministering general anesthesia.
Stephen Seale, Chief Accountant III, has
determined that for the first five-year
period the amendments and new sections
as proposed will be in effect there will be
fiscal implications as a result of enforc-
ing or administering the sections. The ef-
fect on state government is an estimated
additional cost of $8,000 for the first year
and $1,200 for each year of the remaining
four-year period. There will be no effect
on local government. The cost of compli-
ance with the amendments and new sec-
tions for small businesses will be
approximately $10,000 to $100,000. This
will be an initial one time cost to bring ex-
isting licensed facilities into compliance
with construction and fire safety. The de-
partment is unable to project the cost for
building a new abortion facility to meet
construction and fire safety requirements.
