         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
393 (Relating to the definition of a liquefied natural gas
system.) this office has determined the following:

The bill would eliminate the jurisdiction of the Railroad
Commission over liquefaction facilities for liquified natural
gas, since these facilities are regulated by the federal
government.  The bill would not eliminate any current fees or
personnel associated with liquefied natural gas regulation.


No fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
is anticipated.
