Title: Pipeline Safety: Producer-Operated Outer Continental Shelf Gas and Hazardous Liquid Pipelines That Cross Directly Into State Waters | |
Abstract: This proposed rule would implement a provision of the December 10, 1996, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Pipelines. This rule would address producer-operated pipelines that cross into State waters without first connecting with a transporting operator's facility on the OCS. It is complementary to the Direct Final Rule that addressed OCS oil or gas pipelines located upstream of the points at which operating responsibility for the pipelines transfers from a producing operator to a transporting operator (62 FR 61692, November 19, 1997; and 63 FR 126598, March 16, 1998). The proposed rule also would address the procedures by which producer and transportation pipeline operators would petition for permission to operate under either DOT or DOI regulations governing pipeline design, construction, operation, and maintenance according to the operational circumstances of their respective pipelines. | |
