Re: Withdrawal of Interpretation Letter PI-23-0011
Dear Mr. Westcott:
On April 24, 2024, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) responded to your request for an interpretation of the Federal pipeline safety regulations. Specifically, you asked whether certain gathering lines are exempt from the requirements in section 114 of the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 (2020 PIPES Act; Pub. L. 116-260). This letter is to inform you that PHMSA has withdrawn its response to your interpretation request.
The withdrawal of the interpretation letter follows notice published by PHMSA on June 18, 2025, rescinding an advisory bulletin (ADB-2021-01) that addressed the requirements in section 114 of the 2020 PIPES Act.1
1 Pipeline Safety: Recission of Advisory Bulletin on Section 114 of the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020, 90 Fed. Reg. 26,085 (Jun. 18, 2025), available at: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/06/18/2025-11180/pipeline-safety-recission-of-advisory-bulletin-on-section-114-of-the-protecting-our-infrastructure
