Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs (OIRA) announced
that it had approved the advanced notice
of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) from the DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material
Safety Administration (PHMSA) in regards to actions to be taken by pipeline
owners when class location changes result from population increases.
While the intent of this potential rulemaking is the same as
when I posted my blog
entry on the submission of this rulemaking to OIRA, there has been a
substantial change to the Unified Agenda entry on the topic in the Spring
2018 version of the agenda that was released since that earlier post. The Fall
2017 version contained a great deal more supporting information and
explanation of what this rulemaking could entail. It is not clear if this is a
change in how PHMSA views this potential rulemaking or if it is just an attempt
to reduce the verbiage in the Unified Agenda.
