Action
Final rule; response to petition for reconsideration.
Summary
This action concerns a petition to reconsider the rule that requires operators of gas service lines who do not maintain certain buried customer piping to notify customers of the need for maintenance. The request to change the rule to clarify the exclusion of customer branch lines is granted because some operators are apparently misconstruing the rule to cover these lines. The request to change the rule to specify operator repair as a maintenance option is granted because a literal reading of the rule's definition of maintenance excludes this legitimate option.
