Short Statement: The Pipeline Safety: Class Location Change Requirements final rule requires natural gas transmission pipeline operators to notify PHMSA if they choose to use an alternative to either an inline-inspection device or when conducting pressure tests on their pipelines. This information collection allows operators who choose to use a different method of pressure testing to demonstrate that the alternative method is sufficient and for the Office of Pipeline Safety to ensure that the technology is suitable for use. Operators are also required to notify PHMSA if they use Integrity Management protocols to manage pipeline segments that have changed from a Class 1 to a Class 3 location. This prompt notification provides PHMSA an opportunity to oversee the operator’s implementation of the proposed Class 1 to Class 3 location segment regulations. These new requirements will result in an increased notification burden for operators of gas transmission pipelines who are impacted.
