The Comptroller of Public Accounts adopts new §3.11, concerning petition for adoption of rules, without changes to the proposed text as published in the December 16, 2016, issue of the Texas Register (41 TexReg 9880). This section implements Government Code, §2001.021 (Petition for Adoption of Rules), as amended by House Bill 763, 84th Legislature, 2015, effective June 9, 2015, which requires the comptroller to adopt a rule setting forth the substantive and procedural requirements an interested person must follow in order to petition the comptroller for the adoption of a rule. The section establishes the substantive and procedural requirements to petition the comptroller for the adoption, repeal, or amendment of a rule.
Subsection (a) identifies who may petition the comptroller for the adoption, repeal, or amendment of a rule. This subsection defines the term "interested person" based on Government Code, §2001.021(d), which identifies the individuals, entities, and organizations who can petition for the adoption of a rule.
Subsection (b) explains how to petition the comptroller for the adoption, repeal, or amendment of a rule.
Subsection (c) gives the comptroller discretion to deny a petition if it fails to meet the requirements of this section.

This subsection implements Government Code, §2001.021(c).
The new section is adopted under Government Code, §2001.021, which requires the comptroller to create a rule setting forth the substantive and procedural requirements that an interested person must follow in order to petition the comptroller for the adoption of a rule.
