This notice proposes to require operators of gas distribution pipelines who do not maintain customer-owned service lines to advise their customers of the proper maintenance of these gas lines and of the potential hazards of not properly maintaining these gas lines. This proposed rulemaking, in response to a statutory mandate, is intended to ensure that homeowners and other owners of customer-owned service lines are made aware of the requirements for maintenance of those lines; the resources known to the operator that could properly aid the customer in doing such maintenance; any information that the operator has concerning the operation and maintenance of its service lines that could aid customers; and the potential hazards of not maintaining customerowned service lines.
