RSPA is extending the closing date for filing comments to a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published under Docket HM-220 from May 28 to September 30, 1999. RSPA is taking this action in response to petitions filed by the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA), the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI), the Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA) and Airgas, Inc. The petitioners requested that RSPA provide additional time to allow shippers, the gas and cylinder industries, and other interested parties sufficient time to review and address the proposed changes.
