Title: Pipelines and Pipeline Right-of-Way 
Abstract: Subpart J Safety regulations are 20 years old and technically and administratively out of date with BOEM policies, practices, and safety requirements issued elsewhere in regional notices to lessees (NTLs) and letters to lessees (LTLs). This final rule will incorporate the NTLs and LTLs and give the requirements the force and weight of law. Additionally, the rule has been rewritten and reformatted for added clarity and will incorporate several new pipeline design standards to technically update the design information included in the current regulation.
