Operator compliance with the pipeline safety regulations is critical to preventing pipeline accidents and incidents. Goals of PHMSA's outreach program for the 2019 Safety of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines are to expand awareness and knowledge of the final rule to PHMSA stakeholders through outreach and education by:
24-0047 (to COSTHA)
24-0083 (to Anti-Counterfeiting Council)
24-0044 (to Nat'l Board of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Inspectors)
In response to these mandates, recommendations, lessons learned, and public input, PHMSA is making certain amendments to the Pipeline Safety Regulations affecting hazardous liquid pipelines. The first and second amendments extend reporting requirements to certain hazardous liquid gravity and rural gathering lines not currently regulated by PHMSA.
In response to congressional mandates, NTSB and GAO recommendations, lessons learned, and public input, PHMSA is amending the Pipeline Safety Regulations to improve the safety of pipelines transporting hazardous liquids.
