RRC Adopts Revised and New CNG and LNG License and License Renewal and Container Manufacturer Registration Forms

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) has adopted revisions to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Form 1001, Application for CNG License or License Renewal and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Form 2001, Application for LNG License or License Renewal. The form revisions are related to recent amendments to Texas Natural Resources Code Chapter 116 and 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapters 13 and 14, respectively, that went into effect February 15, 2021. The revised form assists applicants with the initial licensing process and assists current licensees with the renewal process.

In addition, the RRC has adopted new forms for manufacturers of CNG and LNG containers to register with the agency. The form was created as a result of recent amendments to Texas Natural Resources Code Chapter 116, which require container manufacturers to register with the RRC instead of being licensed. Recent changes to 16 TAC Chapters 13 and 14, that went into effect February 15, 2021, included the adoption of CNG Form 1001M, Application for CNG Container Manufacturer Registration and LNG Form 2001M, Application for LNG Container Manufacturer Registration. The new forms allow applicants for initial registration to complete the process with guidance and assists current manufacturer registrants with the renewal process.
