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 Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents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.

In this paper we synopsize the status of the engineering operation of MST, plasma parameters, and fluctuation studies. Somewhat more detail on the machine design is reported in Appendix A, initial results through November 1989 are reported in Appendix B, and information on diagnostic status is reported in Chapter VI.
