New York Regulation Updates

On December 30, 2016 the New York Department of Public Service updated their gas, hazardous liquid, liquefied natural gas and drug and alcohol testing regulations to better align with the requirements of the applicable federal regulations. As part of this update, Title 16 Chapter III Part 255 Section 559 concerning conversion of pipelines to jurisdiction under these regulations was renumbered as Section 14. Lastly, these changes repealed Section 61 concerning Copper Pipe, Section 237 Preheating and Section 239 Stress Relieving.
