[Docket No. PHMSA-2016-0002; Amdt. Nos. 192-135, 195-107]
In April of 2024, PHMSA sent “Pipeline Safety: Periodic Updates of Regulatory References to Technical Standards and Miscellaneous Amendments” to the Federal Register for publication of a final rule amending the Federal pipeline safety regulations to incorporate by reference all or parts of more than 20 new or updated voluntary, consensus industry technical standards (Standards Update I). This action allows pipeline operators to use current technologies, improved materials, and updated industry and management practices. Additionally, PHMSA is clarifying certain regulatory provisions and making several editorial corrections. The effective date of this final rule will be 60 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.
