Archived Rulemaking: Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline; Recordkeeplng and Accident Reporting
This final rule (1) reduces the overall recordkeeping raquirements and simplifies and modifies the accident reporting requirements for operators of interstate pipelines that transport petroleum, petroleum products, or anhydrous ammonia, and (2) makes these requirements applicable to operators of intrastate pipelines that transport those commodities. This action will reduce the paperwork burden on interstate pipeline operators without reducing pipeline safety, impose a minimum paperwork burden or intrastate operators, and will provide more meaningful data to assess compliance and analyze pipeline accidents.
