Title: Further Regulatory Review; Gas Pipeline Safety Standards 
Abstract: This action would change miscellaneous gas pipeline safety standards to provide clarity, eliminate unnecessary or overly burdensome requirements, and foster economic change. Some of the proposed changes result from RSPA's further review of the standards following its 1995-1996 review under the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative. Other changes are based on recommendations by the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives in its November 1992 report on the standards. The proposed changes would reduce costs in the pipeline industry without compromising safety.
