## Text

(a) The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that state
 agency actions, subdivision actions and general plans subject to the
 Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) are consistent with the CMP
 goals and policies. The commissioner of the General Land Office (commissioner)
 intends to use the consistency process to:
(1) adequately identify, address, and resolve consistency
 issues to the maximum extent practicable prior to final agency action;
(2) minimize the number of actions referred to the
 commissioner for review or study by ensuring adequate review at the
 agency level and by referring to the commissioner only those actions
 that present unique or significant consistency issues;
(3) avoid the creation of an additional layer of bureaucracy;
(4) avoid subjecting to regulation actions not currently
 subject to regulation; and
(5) provide procedural safeguards to ensure proper
 notice, opportunity for hearing, and fairness in decision-making.
(b) Accordingly, it is the intent of the commissioner
 that consistency be achieved primarily through individual agency rules
 that will reflect the CMP goals and policies.
