DOT/PHMSA RIN: 2137-AF29 Publication ID: Spring 2018 
Title: Pipeline Safety: Class Location Requirements 
Abstract:

This rulemaking regards existing class location requirements, specifically as they pertain to actions operators are required to take following class location changes. Operators have suggested that performing integrity management measures on pipelines where class locations have changed due to population increases would be an equally safe but less costly alternative to the current requirements of either reducing pressure, pressure testing, or replacing pipe. This request for public comment would be used to inform future regulatory or deregulatory efforts related to this topic.
