Section 13.302 - Clarification of Certain Terms Used in NFPA 55

(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.
