DOT/RSPA RIN: 2137-AD98 Publication ID: Fall 2004 
Title: Pipeline Safety: Hazardous Liquid Gathering Pipelines and Low Stress Lines that Could Impact Unusually Sensitive Areas (USAs) and Commercial Navigable Waterways 
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish safety standards for certain onshore rural gathering lines and onshore low-stress pipelines that are now exempt from RSPA's safety regulations for hazardous liquid pipelines. This rule would focus on those pipelines that could affect areas unusually sensitive to environmental damage or commercially navigable waterways. This rule would provide clarity to the regulatory definitions and would ensure that pipelines that could cause an impact on unusually sensitive areas are regulated.
