Bills Introduced – 11-29-23

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 35 bills introduced. Four of those bills will receive additional attention in this blog:

HR 6494 To amend title 49, United States Code, to provide enhanced safety in pipeline transportation, and for other purposes. Graves, Sam [Rep.-R-MO-6] 

HR 6496 To require the Administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to apply the final rule relating to valve installation and minimum rupture detection standards to Type A gas gathering lines, and for other purposes. Carbajal, Salud O. [Rep.-D-CA-24]

HR 6509 To amend title 49, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Transportation to establish a confidential voluntary information-sharing system to encourage the sharing of pipeline safety data, and for other purposes. Molinaro, Marcus J. [Rep.-R-NY-19]

HR 6510 To direct the Secretary of Transportation to study certain composite material pipelines, and for other purposes. Molinaro, Marcus J. [Rep.-R-NY-19]

It looks like Graves, Chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has introduced the latest PHMSA pipeline safety reauthorization bill and two committee members had concerns that were not addressed in that bill.
