About this event

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) will host a training New Critical Designation of Natural Gas Infrastructure Rule Requirements from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursday, January 6, 2022. The training will be held at the Bush Convention Center at 105 North Main Street in Midland.

The RRC recently adopted rules and forms for critical designation of natural gas infrastructure during energy emergencies as specified in Senate Bill 3 and House Bill 3648 passed by the 87th Legislature (Regular Session).

This event will train attendees on requirements for new rule 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §3.65, relating to Critical Designation of Natural Gas Infrastructure, including filing two forms:

• Form CI-D, Acknowledgement of Critical Customer/Critical Gas Supplier Designation, and its attachment would be submitted by an operator of a facility designated as critical acknowledging the facility’s critical status.

• Form CI-X, Critical Designation Exception Application, and its attachment would be submitted by an operator certifying a facility seeks an exception to critical designation because the facility is not prepared to operate in a weather emergency.

The training is free, but registration is required. Registrants are required to be a company under RRC jurisdiction, such as an oil and gas operator or pipeline operator with an active Organization Report (Form P-5) or a Local Distribution Company (LDC). Also, registrants are required to register using their work email address.
