Emergency Flow Restricting Devices/Leak Detection Equipment on Hazardous Liquid Pipelines

This notice announces a public workshop to discuss issues relevant to development of regulations on the circumstances under which operators of hazardous liquid pipelines must use emergency flow restricting devices (including remotely controlled valves and check valves). In addition, the public workshop will discuss issues relevant to development of regulations on the circumstances under which operators of hazardous liquid pipelines identify ruptures on their pipelines. Congress mandated regulations on these items in order to limit hazardous liquid releases subsequent to a failure by more quickly identifying the releases and isolating the failed segment of pipe involved.
