Action
Final Rule: Response to Petition for Reconsideration.
Summary
On February 11, 1994, RSPA issued a final rule amending existing operation and maintenance (O&M) procedures for gas pipeline facilities. The American Gas Association (Petitioner or A.G.A.) filed a Petition for Reconsideration (petition) concerning five provisions of the final rule. After careful consideration of the petition, RSPA concludes the petition should be denied in part, and granted in part. RSPA is granting those aspects of the petition that relate to: (1) procedures required to be included in an operator's O&M manual, and (2) the extent of the requirement to address malfunctions and other deviations during abnormal operations.
