Request for comments.
Summary
This notice announces an electronic public discussion forum and subsequent written comment period on defining gas gathering lines for the purposes of pipeline safety regulation. In 1991, we proposed a definition of gas gathering. A change to the pipeline safety laws in 1992 requires us to revisit that proposal and to consider whether and to what extent we should regulate gathering lines in rural areas. This opportunity for public input will allow us to decide whether and how to modify the regulations. The comments may also inform the process when we consider development of a separate proposal on regulating gas gathering lines in rural areas.
