Title: Pipeline Safety: Protecting High Consequence Areas From Rural Petroleum Gathering Lines and Low Stress Lines 
Abstract: This rulemaking would propose to establish limited safety rules for rural onshore hazardous liquid gathering pipelines and low stress pipelines that are within a defined buffer of an unusually sensitive area. These areas include drinking water and ecological resource areas, which are particularly vulnerable to a pipeline release. The proposed safety requirements will address the most common threats to the integrity of these pipelines.
