Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
Summary
This notice proposes to adopt as a referenced document an industry publication for pipeline leak detection, API 1130, ``Computational Pipeline Monitoring,'' published by the American Petroleum Institute (API). This proposal would require that an operator of a hazardous liquid pipeline use API 1130 in conjunction with other information, in designing, evaluating, operating, maintaining, and testing its software-based leak detection system. The use of this document will significantly advance the acceptance of leak detection technology on hazardous liquid pipelines. However, RSPA is not proposing to require operators to install such systems.
