        <RULE_TITLE>Response Plans for Onshore Oil Pipelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The interim final rule established regulations requiring response plans for certain onshore oil pipelines. Those regulations are mandated by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-380). Pipeline operators filed response plans under this interim final rule, and numerous tabletop exercises and area exercises have been conducted to validate the planning process. The purpose of these requirements is to improve response capabilities and minimize the impact of onshore oil spills from pipelines. This rule is significant because of substantial public and congressional interest. The final rule will reflect the experience gained under the interim final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>
