Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a final rule from the DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) on “Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Leak Detection and Repair”. The notice of proposed rulemaking for this action was published [removed from paywall] on May 18th, 2024.
According to the Spring 2024 Unified Agenda Entry for this rulemaking:
“This rulemaking
would amend the pipeline safety regulations to enhance requirements for
detecting and repairing leaks on new and existing natural gas distribution, gas
transmission, and gas gathering pipelines. The proposed rule is necessary to
respond to a mandate from Section 113 of the Protecting our Infrastructure of
Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 [PL 116-260,
134 STAT 2228].”
This final rule should be published in the Federal Register in the next week or two.
