Pipeline, Inspection, Permitting and Evaluation System (PIPES) Webinar


The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) will host a free webinar to inform and train industry and public on the Pipeline, Inspection, Permitting and Evaluation System (PIPES) portal. The webinar will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 20, 2021.

RRC PIPES, which launched in July, allows pipeline operators to upload pipeline safety related reports, files, and payments. In addition, the public can go online and access documents in the RRC’s pipeline safety inspection process.

The webinar will cover a variety of topics, including overviews of:

  • RRC’s Access Management Process (RAMP), which manages how authenticated users sign into and receive access to the portal and upload documents for filing in a docket to be reviewed for acceptance by the Hearings Division’s Docket Services; and
  • RRC PIPES and demonstration of how authenticated users can submit plan of correction documents, the Form PS-48, Form PS-95 reports, integrity notifications and fee payments online.
