Risk-Based Alternative to Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Rule; Correction

Final rule; correction.

This document corrects a final rule published November 4, 1998 (63 FR 59475).

This document makes a minor correction by removing an unrelated sentence that inadvertently appeared in Table 4 of the Appendix B.
