Low-Stress Hazardous Liquid Pipelines Serving Plants and Terminals

Notice of proposed rulemaking.

This action proposes to exclude from RSPA's safety regulations for hazardous liquid pipelines low-stress pipelines regulated for safety by the U.S. Coast Guard and certain low-stress pipelines less than one mile long serving plants and terminals.

It is RSPA's policy toward effective government to eliminate duplicative and unnecessarily burdensome regulations.
