(a) Payors must submit complete and accurate data files
 for all applicable plans as required by this subchapter and consistent
 with the data elements and technical requirements found in the Texas
 APCD CDL v3.0.1. The Texas APCD CDL v3.0.1 is available on the Center's

(b) If the Center adopts subsequent versions of the
 Texas APCD CDL, payors must submit data consistent with the requirements

 The Center will communicate to payors an implementation deadline for
 use of an updated version of the Texas APCD CDL that is not less than

 in its final form.
(c) The Center will establish, evaluate, and update
 data collection procedures within a submission guide, consistent with
 Insurance Code §38.404(f), concerning Establishment and Administration
 of Database. Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, in the
 event of an inconsistency between this subchapter and the submission
 guide, this subchapter controls.
