reports |
| Dates: | 1973-1978 |
| Abstract: | This series contains
correspondence and various odorization reports, dating 1973-1978. Texas law
requires natural gas companies to odorize the gas with a malodorant so as to
indicate the presence of gas in case of a leak or rupture in the pipeline
system. The Gas Utilities Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas enforces
this law by requiring regular tests and reports. |

The Railroad Commission of Texas had its origin in the demands of the
shipping public in the late 1880s which insisted that railroads be subject to
regulation based on public interest. An advocate for governmental regulation,
Attorney General James Stephen Hogg ran for Governor in 1890 with the issue of
railroad regulation as the focal point of the campaign. Hogg was elected
Governor in the general election and the voters also approved an amendment to
Article X, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution that empowered the Legislature
to enact statutes creating regulatory agencies. These elections paved the way
for the Legislature to enact on April 3, 1891 "An Act
to Establish a Railroad Commission of the State of Texas," that later was
placed in the Texas Revised Civil Statutes under article 6444 et seq. (House
Bills 1, 3, and 58, 22nd Legislature, Regular Session).
The Commission originally consisted of three members appointed by the
Governor for three-year terms. Governor Hogg appointed the first three
Commissioners in 1891, including John H. Reagan, who resigned as U.S. Senator
from Texas to serve as the first Chairman. The Texas Constitution, Article XIX,
Section 30 was amended in 1894 to provide for elective six-year overlapping
terms for the Commissioners. That same year John H. Reagan was elected and
served until his retirement in 1903.
The Texas Railroad Commission was the first regulatory agency created
in the State of Texas and originally had jurisdiction over the rates and
operations of railroads, terminals, wharves and express companies. The legal
focus was on intrastate passenger and freight activities. Interstate
jurisdiction fell under the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission. For the first
twenty-five years of its existence, the Railroad Commission was largely
concerned with regulating railroads, setting rates, receiving complaints, and
making investigations. As other controversies arose where the Legislature
deemed that the public interest could best be served by regulation, additional
duties were assigned to the Railroad Commission.
The Railroad Commission's authority was broadened beginning in 1917
with the passage of the Pipeline Petroleum Law, Senate Bill 68, 35th
Legislature, Regular Session, that declared pipelines to be common carriers
like railroads and placed them under the Commission's jurisdiction. This was
the first act to designate the Railroad Commission as the agency to administer
conservation laws relating to oil and gas.
The Commission's regulatory and enforcement powers in oil and gas were
increased by Senate Bill 350 of the 36th Legislature, Regular Session, the Oil
and Gas Conservation Law, effective June 18, 1919. This act gave the Railroad
Commission jurisdiction to regulate the production of oil and gas. Acting upon
this legislation, the Commission adopted in 1919 the first statewide rules
regulating the oil and gas industry to promote conservation and safety,
including Rule 37. This rule requires minimum distances between wells at
drilling sites in order to protect field pressure and correlative rights.
The Gas Utilities Act of 1920, House Bill 11, 36th Legislature, 3rd
Called Session, gave the Commission regulatory and rate authority over
individuals and businesses producing, transporting, or distributing natural gas
in Texas. In 1937, following a large natural gas explosion in a school in New
London, Texas, the 45th Legislature passed legislation giving the Railroad
Commission the authority to adopt rules and regulations pertaining to the
odorization of natural gas or liquefied petroleum gases (House Bill 1017,
Regular Session). The passage of the Public Regulatory Act of 1975 (PURA),
House Bill 819, 64th Legislature, Regular Session, required certain state
regulatory agencies, including the Commission, to set the overall revenues of a
utility based on its "cost of service."
Regulation of liquefied petroleum was added to the Commission's
responsibilities in 1939 by House Bill 792, 46th Legislature, Regular Session.
The legislation authorized the Commission to adopt and enforce safety rules and
standards in the storage, handling, transportation, and odorization of butane
or LP-gases. Regulation of compressed natural gas was added to the Railroad
Commission's responsibilities in 1983 (Senate Bill 617, 68th Legislature,
Regular Session).
The Railroad Commission regulates the oil and gas industry to prevent
the waste of resources and to protect property rights and the environment. It
oversees hazardous materials pipelines and natural gas pipelines and
distribution systems as well as propane, butane, compressed natural gas, and
liquefied natural gas. The Commission licenses and conducts seminars for oil
and gas dealers and their employees. It also oversees railroad safety and rail
planning; surface mining for coal, uranium, and iron ore gravel; and land
reclamation when mining is complete.
The Gas Services Division, formerly the Gas
Utilities Division, works to ensure that a continuous safe supply of gas is
available to Texas consumers at the lowest, reasonable rates. The division
establishes rates and services that are fair and reasonable for gas utilities
and their customers; enforces those rates; maintains safety standards in the
gas and hazardous liquids pipeline systems throughout the state by inspection
and investigation of any hazards or accidents; oversees intrastate gathering
and storage services; and adopts and maintains adequate safety rules and
standards in the handling, transportation, and odorization of LP-gases
(liquefied petroleum gases) for dealers, handlers, and consumers. It further
regulates propane and compressed natural gas by requiring anyone working with
these gases to pass a written qualifying exam administered by the Commission.
The division also focuses on regulatory policy and analysis as well as
identifying and eliminating natural gas transportation problems. There are four
main sections in this division - Audit, Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Pipeline
Safety, and Regulatory and Analysis.
Railroad Commission support divisions include the Public Information
Office, Personnel, Finance and Administration, Information Technology Services,
Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Office of Internal Audit. Three elected
Commissioners direct the operations of the agency.
In 1999, the agency had approximately 848 FTE (full-time equivalent)
employees. Legal authority for the Railroad Commission is the Texas
Constitution, Art. X, Sec. 2 and Art. XVI, Sec. 30; and the Natural Resources
Code, Chapter 81.
Return to the Table of Contents
This series contains correspondence and various odorization reports,
dating 1973-1978. Texas law requires natural gas companies to odorize the gas
with a malodorant so as to indicate the presence of gas in case of a leak or
rupture in the pipeline system. The Gas Utilities Division (GUD) of the
Railroad Commission of Texas enforces this law by requiring regular tests and
reports. The files contain routine correspondence between the GUD and gas
suppliers concerning delinquent filings, changes in the forms, and other
procedural matters. The odorization reports include several formats of
quarterly reports, all containing the following information: the name of the
malodorant, if diluted or concentrated, the amount of malodorant introduced in
pounds and gallons, the rate of malodorant per thousand cubic feet of gas, and
the amount of gas odorized. These reports are present for every reporting
company.
Other odorization reports include a test report giving the date of the
test, the test method, percentage of gas in air at detection, and name of
tester; a service and maintenance schedule listing the type of malodorant, the
inspection frequency and inspection procedures; and, finally, a worksheet
showing the method and numbers used to figure out the malodorant concentration
in rooms. Not all of these types of reports are present for every company.
