(a) Authority having jurisdiction. As pertains to CNG
activities in Texas, the phrase "authority having jurisdiction" defined
in NFPA 55 §3.2.2 and referenced in other NFPA publications shall
be the Railroad Commission of Texas or any of its divisions or employees,
except with respect to the definitions of "approved," "labeled,"
and "listed" in NFPA 55 §3.2.
(b) Engineering. The Commission does not adopt language
in any NFPA 55 rule such as "sound engineering practice," "accepted
engineering practice," "good engineering practice," "sound engineering
design," or similar language that might be understood to mean or
refer to the practice of engineering. The omission of a specific
NFPA 55 rule or other NFPA pamphlets containing such language from
the exceptions listed in this subchapter is inadvertent and shall
not be read or understood as requiring, allowing, or approving the
unlicensed practice of engineering or any other professional occupation
requiring a license.
