Miscellaneous Corrections to the Final Rule of January 5, 2015

[Docket No. PHMSA-2011-0337; Amdt. Nos. 192-119; 193-25; 195-99]

On August 6, PHMSA issued miscellaneous corrections to the final rule of January 5, 2015, concerning periodic updates of regulatory references to technical standards. The January document inadvertently removed paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) in 49 CFR 192.153. The August 6 rule removes that amendment and makes several (very minor) editorial changes. The re-instated rule language is:

§ 192.153 Components fabricated by welding.

(b) * * *
(1) Regularly manufactured butt-welding fittings.
(2) Pipe that has been produced and tested under a specification listed in appendix B to this part.
(3) Partial assemblies such as split rings or collars.
(4) Prefabricated units that the manufacturer certifies have been tested to at least twice the maximum pressure to which they will be subjected under the anticipated operating conditions.
