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 PHMSA'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 sensistive areas are regulated.
