Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
This proposed rule would incorporate industry consensus standards for aboveground storage tanks into the regulations for the transportation of hazardous liquids by pipelines. This action would upgrade the pipeline safety regulations for breakout tanks to the level of the industry standards currently applicable to other steel petroleum tanks at tank farms and refineries throughout the United States. The proposed incorporation of these industry published standards would ensure the safety of breakout tanks used in the transportation of petroleum, petroleum products or anhydrous ammonia.
