Increased Inspection Requirements

This notice announces a public workshop to discuss issues relevant to development of regulations requiring increased inspection of certain gas and hazardous liquid pipelines. The increased inspection would apply to all gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines under RSPA safety regulations in high-density population areas. In addition, hazardous liquid pipelines would have to be inspected in unusually sensitive environmental areas and at crossings of navigable waterways. Congress mandated the increased inspection regulations to reduce the risk of pipeline accidents due to structural defects.
