Title: Pipeline Safety: Standards for Increasing the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure for Gas Transmission Pipelines | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would allow operation of certain steel gas transmission pipelines at pressures based on higher stress levels, resulting in an increase of maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) over that currently allowed in the regulations. The rulemaking would also require a new pipeline to meet more rigorous design and construction standards as a condition for an operator to calculate the MAOP based on higher stress levels. The rulemaking would also require the operator of a new or existing pipeline operating at the increased MAOP to comply with added operation and maintenance requirements. | |
