Notice of public meeting.
Summary
The Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) invites representatives of industry, state and local government, and the public to an open meeting on the use of remotely controlled valves (RCVs) on natural gas pipeline facilities. Congress mandated the use of RCVs on interstate natural gas pipeline facilities if it is determined as a result of a survey and assessment that the use of RCVs is technically and economically feasible and would reduce risks associated with a rupture of a natural gas pipeline facility. The purpose of this meeting is to gather information and discuss issues relevant to the survey and assessment.
