Abstract: In 1970, the Railroad Commission of Texas began enforcing the Federal Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968. These standards are published in the Federal Register, (A9 CFR 192). A copy of these rules along with additional State safety rules can be obtained from the Transportation/ Gas Utilities Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas in Austin. Actually Texas has been regulating gas suppliers since 1920 when the legislature passed the Cox Act placing gas pipeline operators under the control of the Railroad Commission of Texas for rate determination. The first pipeline safety rule occurred in 1937 and required operators to odorize gas after unodorized gas was blamed for the explosion at the Consolidated School in New London that killed 293 children and teachers.
