Action
Corrections to the final rule.
Summary
On May 24, 1996, RSPA published a final rule in the Federal Register (61 FR 26121) titled ``Periodic Updates to the Pipeline Safety Regulations.'' This final rule updated the references to voluntary specifications and standards to reflect more recently published editions of each document, enabling pipeline operators to utilize current technology, materials, and practices, thereby reducing costs and enhancing economic growth. The final rule also eliminated the requirement for odorization of hydrogen transmission lines in cases where the odorization interferes with industrial end uses. Consistent with President Clinton's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative, these actions eliminated unnecessary regulatory burdens without compromising safety. This document makes minor corrections to the final rule to provide consistency in the regulations.
