6. Discussion and possible recommendation on the proposed amendments to existing rules at 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 65, Subchapter A, §65.2, and Subchapter I, §65.64, regarding the Boilers program. The proposed amendments simplify and clarify the process to apply for extensions of the internal inspection interval for boilers (extensions) in §65.64; add specific conditions under which boiler operators may obtain extensions; and add four new related definitions to §65.2. The proposed rules are necessary to provide clarity and certainty to boiler operators to plan the frequency of internal inspections.
