PHMSA Excess Flow Valves in Gas Distribution Systems to Applications Other Than Single-Family Residences – Extension for Comments

Docket No. PHMSA-2011-0009

On November 25, 2011, PHMSA published in the Federal Register an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), titled: “Pipeline Safety: Expanding the Use of Excess Flow Valves (EFVs) in Gas Distribution Systems to Applications Other Than Single-Family Residences.” (See related story in the December Edition of the DOT Compliance News.) The ANPRM sought public comment on several issues related to expanding the use of EFVs in gas distribution systems. On January 10, 2012, PHMSA received a request to extend the comment period to provide additional time to respond to the ANPRM. In light of that request, PHMSA is extending the comment period from February 18, 2012, to March 19, 2012. Comments may be submitted to the E-Gov Web Site, and reference docket number PHMSA-2011-0009.
