Action
Notice of Intent (NOI) to Form a Negotiated Rulemaking Committee.
Summary
RSPA proposes to establish a Negotiated Rulemaking Committee under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1992 to develop a recommended rule on the qualification of personnel performing certain safety- related functions for pipelines subject to 49 CFR Parts 192 and 195. The Committee will adopt its recommendations through a negotiation process. The Committee will be composed of persons who represent the interests affected by the rule, such as gas pipeline operators, hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipeline operators, members of state and federal governments, and persons from the public sector. The purpose of this NOI is to invite interested parties to submit comments on the issues to be discussed and the interests and organizations to be considered for representation on the Committee.
