Action
Direct final rule.
Summary
This direct final rule incorporates safety requirements for mobile and temporary Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities by referencing the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 59A (1996 edition), Standard for the Production, Storage and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This rule will reduce the burden on the industry and state and federal governments by eliminating waiver requirements for mobile and temporary LNG facilities. In this rule RSPA is responding to the adverse comment received on the mobile LNG facilities requirements in the previously published direct final rule [62 FR 8402; 2/25/97] by addressing a commenter's main concern that states in which mobile LNG equipment is located must be notified two weeks in advance. The remainder of the requirements for mobile LNG facilities are unchanged.
