The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) is accepting public comment on proposed amendments to 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §3.70 to align with changes being proposed at the same time to various rules in Chapter 8 which incorporate federal requirements. The proposed amendments to 16 TAC §3.70 also remove dates from the rule that no longer apply and add a procedure related to the filing of the Form T-4B, Pipeline Transfer Certification.
The proposed amendments to Chapter 8 capture the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) latest standards, clarify areas of the rules that Railroad Commission of Texas staff receives regular inquiries on, and clarify how pipeline operators should report and file various activities with Railroad Commission of Texas.
To view the proposed rule amendments and submit comments online by 5 p.m. CST on Monday, September 30, 2024, visit the RRC website at https://www.rrc.texas.gov/general-counsel/rules/proposed-rules/ under Chapters 3 and 8.
