NOTICE OF PROPOSED
RULEMAKING
REPEAL AND
REPLACEMENT OF 1.12.9 NMAC
Pursuant
to NMSA 1978, Sections 9-27-6(J) and 14-4-5.2, the New Mexico Department of
Information Technology (DoIT) hereby gives notice of repeal and replacement of
1.12.9 NMAC, Project Certification of Technology Projects.
The
repeal and replacement change the title of the Rule to Certification of
Information Technology Projects; remove references to the no longer
existing Information Technology Commission; update the statutory authority to
refer to the New Mexico Department of Information Technology Act; remove
several definitions not used in the Rule; add several new definitions; and
update provisions delineating the information technology project certification
process for executive agencies.

phased in with funding released in phases contingent upon successful completion
of the prior phase[.]” Further, Section 9-27-6(I)(5) authorizes “[t]he
secretary [to] make and adopt such reasonable procedural rules as may be
necessary to carry out the duties of the department . . . including . . . requirements for agency information
technology projects and related plan, analysis, oversight, assessment and
