Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines

Notice of proposed rulemaking; Extension of time for compliance.

This document proposes to extend the time for compliance with the requirements to plan and schedule pressure testing of older hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines. Plans are now required by December 7, 1995. This extension of time for compliance is in response to a petition from the American Petroleum Institute (API) to apply a risk-based alternative to the required pressure testing of older pipelines. The extension of time will allow RSPA time to consider the petition.
