RRC Publishes FAQ on Critical Designation of Natural Gas Infrastructure Forms

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) has published Frequently Asked Questions related to filing Critical Designation of Natural Gas Infrastructure forms. To view the FAQ visit the RRC website at https://www.rrc.texas.gov/about-us/faqs/faqs-regarding-cid-forms/.

The FAQ provide guidance on completion and submission of two newly adopted forms related to 16 TAC §3.65, which are required to be filed no later than January 15, 2022.

• 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 FAQ list is in addition to training videos and webinars, rules, and other resources also available on the RRC’s Critical Infrastructure Division page at https://www.rrc.texas.gov/critical-infrastructure/
