Final rules were issued on the siting, design, and construction of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities on January 30,1980. In response to petitions for reconsideration, MTB is amending several sections of the final rules. These amendments are: (1) To clarify that any subsequent changes in "...
This final rule provides that onshore "interstate pipeline facilities" (as that term is defined in the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act of 1979) constructed before January 8,1971 may not transport highly volatile liquids (HVL) unless they have been , hydrostatically tested in accordance with...
This final rule revokes § 195.218 which requires that seams on adjacent pipe lengths be offset This action is taken because the pipe manufacture and welding technology has advanced sufficiently to make the requirement of this section unnecessary.
This final rule reduces the time and cost of hydrostatic testing in light of studies which show that the currently required 24-hour hydrostatic hold period is unnecessary. A two part test is'prescribed for hydrostatically testing liquid pipelines: A strength test of at least 4 hours' duration at...
This final rule establishes new safety standards governing the operations, maintenance (including corrosion control), fire protection, personnel qualifications and training, and security of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities used in the transportation of gas by pipeline in or affecting...
CorrectionIn FR Doc. 80-33115 in the issue of Thursday, October 23,1980, first column, under "EFFECTIVE DATES", eighth line from the bottom, "July 23,1980" should read "July 23,1981".
This final rule prescribes periodic monitoring of the water content of pipelines transporting anhydrous ammonia and the addition of water to such pipelines if the water content is less than 0.2 percent by weight. The purpose of this final rule is to reduce the potential for stress corrosion...
In an effort to reduce the effects of HVL pipeline accidents, a notice of proposed rulemaking (43 FR 39402) was published on September 5, 1978, proposing a-requirement to install remotely controlled, closely spaced valves on new pipelines and certain existing pipelines. An amended notice of...
This final rule amends Department of Transportation regulations which govern the transportation of natural and other gas and hazardous liquids by pipeline. The amendments update the existing references to industry prepared documents to later published editions of those documents. The amendments...
This document postpones until June 30, 1981, the effective date of a final rule published in the Federal Register on January 2, 1981 (46 FR 39), which required weekly monitoring of the water content of anhydrous ammonia transported by interstate pipelines. The MTB has been directed to perform a...
