PHMSA Misc. Changes to Pipeline Safety Regulations – Extension for Comments

Docket No. PHMSA-2010-0026

On November 29, 2011, PHMSA published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking titled: “Miscellaneous Changes to Pipeline Safety Regulations” seeking comments on the need for changes to the regulations covering pipeline safety regulations. (See related story in the December Edition of the DOT Compliance News.) The Committee on Pipe and Tube Imports Ad Hoc Large Diameter Line Pipe Producers Group Transportation Subcommittee and the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America petitioned PHMSA to extend the comment period. PHMSA is granting these requests and extending the comment period from February, 3, 2012, to March 6, 2012. Comments may be submitted to the E-Gov Web Site, and reference docket number PHMSA–2010–0026.
