PHMSA Sends Underground Storage Facility Rule to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a final rule from DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) concerning underground storage facilities for natural gas. According to the abstract for this rulemaking in the 2019 Spring Unified Agenda, this final rule is intended to finalize the interim final rule that was published in December 2016.

Interesting side note: PHMSA currently has 15 rulemakings under review at OIRA.
