A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

The Petroleum Marketing Monthly is designed to give information and statistical data about a variety of crude oils and refined petroleum products. The publication provides statistics on crude oil costs and refined petroleum products sales for use by industry, government, private sector analysts, educational institutions, and consumers. Data on crude oil include the domestic first purchase price, the f.o.b. and landed cost of imported crude oil, and the refiner`s acquisition cost of crude oil. Sales data for motor gasoline, distillates, residuals, aviation fuels, kerosene, and propane are presented.

This document is the Process Test Report for performing operation testing with water of the modified E-F11 concentrator in PUREX on water. The test was performed to determine the effects of the following concentrator modifications; routing concentrator off-gasses via the PUREX air tunnel to the main stack, blanking of condenser cooling water, blanking of process condensate route to a crib, restricting flow to steam tube bundles, and routing of steam condensate to TK-F12. The test was successful. Concentrator boil-off rates of 6--7 gpm were achieved while the overheads exited the PUREX plant in vapor form. With minor recommended modifications, this process is recommended for use in processing PUREX deactivation flush solutions and other miscellaneous wastes accumulated during the completion of the deactivation project.

This report covers the period from October, 1993 to January, 1994. It summarizes the activities on the grant to develop novel surfactants for enhanced oil recovery, and represents the first quarterly report for the project. During the period covered by this report, considerable effort was spent in arrangements for procuring equipment, chemicals and in educating students about the substance of the project. Unfortunately, the major equipment order to fully implement the project have not yet been delivered. A few surfactants, however have either been synthesized in the Morgan State laboratories or purchased from commercial manufacturers. South Carolina State continued to plan and set its laboratories during the period, and significant project administrative and management support was provided by the Institute for College Research Development and Support. As a starting point in the education, training and eventual proficiency in surfactant synthesis, the following cationic surfactants have been successfully synthesized: cetyltriethylammonium bromide, cetyltripropylammonium bromide and cetyltributylammonium bromide. NMR analysis of these surfactants was also carried out. In the absence of the major equipment, the critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of the surfactants to be synthesized, were determined using the conductometric method. The CMC determination was necessary because there is a correlation between surface …

In October 1993, the authors sampled soils, vegetation, and hydrology at eight sites representing a range of substrates, elevations, soil types, and plant community types within rainforest habitats on the Island of Hawaii. Their purpose was to determine whether any of these habitats were wetlands according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. None of the rainforest habitats they sampled was wetland in its entirety. However, communities established on pahoehoe lava flows contained scattered wetlands in depressions and folds in the lava, where water could accumulate. Therefore, large construction projects, such as that associated with proposed geothermal energy development in the area, have the potential to impact a significant number and/or area of wetlands. To estimate those impacts more accurately, they present a supplementary scope of work and cost estimate for additional sampling in the proposed geothermal project area.

Letter opinion issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Dan Morales, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Whether section 51.929 of the Education Code, as enacted by Acts 1993, 73d Leg., ch. 15, prohibits The University of Texas at Dallas from supplying scholarship students with books from the university bookstore free-of-charge.

The NGM highlights activities, events, and analyses of interest to public and private sector organizations associated with the natural gas industry. Volume and price data are presented each month for natural gas production, distribution, consumption, and interstate pipeline activities. Producer-related activities and underground storage data are also reported. The NGM also features articles designed to assist readers in using and interpreting natural gas information.

Alkali corrosion kinetics of mullite were studied in a constant partial pressure of sodium nitrate. Reaction layer thickness appears to be linearly related to reaction time; linear reaction rate constants are 9 {mu}m/h at 1000{degrees}C and 25 {mu}m/h at 1050{degrees}C. XRD after reaction revealed sodium aluminate and carnegieite, with a suggestion of a solid solution of the sodium aluminate and carnegieite phases. SEM reveals a large number of microcracks in the reaction layer.

The World Bank and other multilateral development banks (MDB) have come under increasing pressure to assess the environmental impacts of bank-sponsored projects. The U.S. Congress has required that U.S. participation be based on policies that encourage the banks to raise the priority of environmental protection in their operations and to address environmental impacts; however, major issues continue to revolve around the effectiveness of all the MDBs in promoting environmentally sustainable development. Additionally, increasing concern over global environmental problems led to the creation in 1990 of a new multilateral fund -- the Global Environment Facility (GEF) -- to fund environmental projects of global concern that were generally not being funded by the MDBs. The pilot phase of the GEF ended in December 1993, and participants are currently in the process of determining how, or if, it should function as a permanent entity.
