Archived Rulemaking: Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline; Leakage Surveys

Document
44-fr-72201.pdf (896.21 KB)

This notice proposes to amend Part 192 to require more stringent leakage surveys on pipelines located in areas where gas leaks pose a high risk of damage to persons and property. In addition, time intervals between surveys would be prescribed in a way to permit flexibility in scheduling personnel assignments. This proposal would also establish special procedures for conducting leakage surveys on underground petroleum gas lines to account for the heavier than air nature of petroleum gas.
