Action
Final rule.
Summary
RSPA is replicating in 49 CFR Part 190 its rulemaking procedures presently found in 49 CFR Part 106. This will enable persons in the pipeline industry to obtain a single volume of the Code of Federal Regulations that contains both the pipeline safety program regulations and the pipeline rulemaking procedures. The intended effect of this action is to reduce the pipeline industry's cost of purchasing regulations and to increase user convenience by placing the rulemaking procedures in the same volume with program procedures. RSPA has taken these actions in response to President Clinton's regulatory reinvention initiative.
