the department considers "direct economic impact" to mean a re-
quirement that would directly impose recordkeeping or reporting
requirements; impose taxes or fees; result in lost sales or profits;
adversely affect market competition; or require the purchase or
modification of equipment or services. Since the proposed rule
does not impose any direct adverse economic effects on small
businesses or micro-businesses, the department has not pre-
pared a regulatory flexibility analysis under Government Code,
Chapter 2006.
The department has not drafted a local employment impact
statement under the Administrative Procedure Act, 2001.022,
as the agency has determined that the rule as proposed will not
impact local economies.
The department has determined that there will not be a taking of
private real property, as defined by Government Code, Chapter
2007, as a result of the proposed rule.
Comments on the proposed rule may be submitted to Robert
Macdonald, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith

CHAPTER 65. WILDLIFE
SUBCHAPTER B. DISEASE DETECTION AND
RESPONSE
DIVISION 1. CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE
(CWD)
31 TAC 65.80 - 65.88
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (the department) pro-
poses new 65.80 - 65.88, concerning Chronic Wasting Dis-
ease. The proposed new rules, if adopted, will be in new Sub-
chapter B, concerning Disease Detection and Response, within
Chapter 65. On July 10, 2012, the department confirmed the first
known cases of wildlife infected with Chronic Wasting Disease
(CWD) in Texas. Texas now joins 20 other states and two Cana-
dian provinces where CWD has been detected in free-ranging or
captive environments. The proposed new rules are a result of co-
operation between the department and the Texas Animal Health
Commission (TAHC) to protect susceptible species of exotic and
native wildlife from CWD. TAHC is the state agency charged
with disease management in livestock and exotic species. ThePROPOSED RULES October 5, 2012 37 TexReg 7955
