Title: Pipeline Safety: Pipeline Safety Enforcement and Regulatory Procedures 
Abstract: The "Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011" created a number of regulatory mandates, some of which directly implicate the pipeline enforcement and regulatory procedures outlined in 49 CFR part 190. This rulemaking would comply with statutory mandates related to part 190 through amendment. Specifically, this rule would update and clarify the purpose of part 190, clarify certain enforcement issues including but not limited to procedures for hearings, special permit condition violations, incorporation of new civil penalties, and procedures for adoption of rules. This rule would also include certain amendments that conform current regulatory language to actual practice or correct errors and omissions.
