Title: Pipeline Safety: Excess Flow Valves In Applications Other Than Single-Family Residences in Gas Distribution Systems 
Abstract: This rulemaking is considering whether or not require excess flow valves (EFVs) should be required in all new and renewed gas service lines, for structures other than single family dwellings, when the operating conditions are compatible with readily available valves. PHMSA is considering these changes would be in response to NTSB and PHMSA investigations of current EFV installation practices. The intended effect of the rule is to increase the level of safety for structures other than single family dwellings currently subject to Federal pipeline safety regulation.
