The Office of Pipeline Safety does not object to the granting of these waivers if the following conditions are included:

  3. The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and the Washington Gas Light Company will submit a report to the Maryland Public Service Commission 3 months before the waiver termination regarding the success or failure of this type of pipeline rehabilitation with a copy to the Office of Pipeline Safety.
