Adopted Rule Reviews

Railroad Commission of Texas

Title 16, Part 1

The Railroad Commission of Texas files this notice of the completion of the review of §3.36, (relating to oil, gas, or geothermal resource operation in hydrogen sulfide areas); §3.91 (relating to cleanup of soil contaminated by a crude oil spill); §3.95 (relating to underground storage of liquid or liquefied hydrocarbons in a salt formation); and §3.97 (relating to underground storage of gas in salt formations). This review was conducted in accordance with Texas Government Code, §2001.039.

The Commission received one comment on the proposed review from an individual regarding the reference to the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) Standard MR-01-75 in §3.36(c)(6)(C). The commenter stated that the 2002 version of MR-01-75 includes lists of corrosion-resisting alloys (CRAs) that were good for service in 100% hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The 2003 version of MR-01-75 places environmental limits on CRAs in terms of H2S partial pressures, temperatures, water salinity, pH and the like. The commenter stated that operators are responsible for selecting metallurgy for use in H2S service based on the environmental restrictions named in MR-01-75-2003 and conveying the correct metallurgical selection to the manufacturers of the oil field equipment. The commenter concluded that some operators may have difficulty interpreting the new requirements for environmental restrictions, resulting in confusion and possibly compromising safety. The commenter advised that next year, MR- 01-75 will be replaced by a set of International Standards Organization documents (ISO 15156-1,-2,-3); NACE will then assume a custodial role in maintaining the content of these documents. The commenter also stated that there are technical errors in MR- 01-75-2003 that NACE is attempting to correct, and recommended that the Commission contact the NACE Task Group 081 for further comment.

The Commission will review these comments and the differences in the NACE documents for possible inclusion in a future rulemaking. Because the proposed review of §3.36, along with the other sections listed, did not give notice of any substantive amendments, the Commission is precluded from amending §3.36 in this rulemaking proceeding.

The Commission has determined that the reason for adopting these rules continues to exist.

Issued in Austin, Texas, on April 22, 2003.

No comments were received regarding the review of these rules.

Chapter 160. Workers' Health And Safety--General Provisions

§160.2. Non-Subscribing Employer's Report of Injury.
