Pipeline Safety: Update of Regulatory References to Technical
Standards
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule updates the pipeline safety regulations to
incorporate by reference all or parts of new editions of voluntary
consensus technical standards to enable pipeline operators to utilize
current technology, materials, and practices.
DATES: This final rule takes effect on July 10, 2006. The incorporation
by reference of publications listed in the rule is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register as of July 10, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard D. Huriaux, Director,
Technical Standards at (202) 366-4565, by fax at (202) 366-4566, or by
e-mail at richard.huriaux@dot.gov. Copies of this document or other
material in the docket can be reviewed by accessing the Docket
Management System's home page at http://dms.dot.gov. General
information on the pipeline safety program is available at PHMSA's Web
site at http://ops.dot.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104-113) directs Federal agencies to use voluntary consensus
standards in lieu of government-written standards whenever possible.
Voluntary consensus standards are standards developed or adopted by
voluntary bodies that develop, establish, or coordinate technical
standards using agreed upon procedures.
PHMSA participates in more than 25 national voluntary consensus
standards committees. PHMSA's policy is to adopt voluntary consensus
standards when they are applicable to pipeline design, construction,
maintenance, inspection, and repair. In recent years, PHMSA has adopted
dozens of new and revised voluntary consensus standards into its gas
pipeline (49 CFR part 192), hazardous liquid pipeline (49 CFR part
195), and liquefied natural gas (LNG) (49 CFR part 193) regulations.
Parts 192, 193, and 195 incorporate by reference all or parts of
more than 60 standards and specifications developed and published by
technical organizations, including the American Petroleum Institute,
American Gas Association, American Society of Mechanical Engineers,
American Society for Testing and Materials, Manufacturers
Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry, National
Fire Protection Association, Plastics Pipe Institute, and Pipeline
Research Council International. These organizations update and revise
their published standards every 3 to 5 years, to reflect modern
technology and best technical practices. PHMSA has reviewed the revised
voluntary consensus standards to be incorporated in whole or in part in
49 CFR parts 192, 193, and 195.
This final rule updates the Federal pipeline safety regulations to
incorporate by reference all or parts of recent editions of the
voluntary consensus technical standards that are currently referenced
in the Federal pipeline safety regulations. It updates 38 standards in
49 CFR part 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline:
Minimum Federal Safety Standards, 49 CFR part 193, Liquefied Natural
Gas Facilities: Federal Safety Standards, and 49 CFR part 195,
Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline. This update enables
pipeline operators to use current technology, materials, and practices.
The incorporation of the most recent editions of standards improves
clarity, consistency, and accuracy, and reduces unnecessary burdens on
the regulated community.
Previous updates of the regulations to incorporate revised
standards were issued on May 24, 1996 (61 FR 26121), June 6, 1996 (61
FR 2877), February 17, 1998 (63 FR 7721), and June 14, 2004
[[Page 33403]]
(69 FR 32886). PHMSA intends to issue periodic updates of referenced
standards to ensure that the pipeline safety regulations reflect
current practices and to improve compliance by the pipeline industry
with safety standards.
II. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
On July 18, 2005, PHMSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) to incorporate by reference 39 new and/or reaffirmed editions of
standards into the Federal pipeline safety regulations. All but one of
the new editions is incorporated by reference in this final rule.
PHMSA has chosen not to update the regulatory references found in
the 2004 edition of the American Society for Testing and Materials'
(ASTM) D2513, Standard Specification for Thermoplastic Gas Pressure
Pipe, Tubing, and Fittings. We believe that a number of important
issues need to be fully addressed by the ASTM Committee F-17 before we
adopt any new editions of ASTM D2513. Among these are the issues of
rework, regrind, marking, increase in design factor, and requirements
for new materials. The gas pipeline safety regulations therefore
continue to reference standards found in ASTM D2513 (1999 edition) and
ASTM D2517 (2000 edition) for plastic pipe and fittings.
This final rule accepts the following new editions of currently
referenced standards for incorporation by reference (IBR) in parts 192,
193, and 195. The list is organized by the standards developing
organization responsible for the standard and shows each section of the
regulations referencing the standard.

III. Comments on Proposed Rule
PHMSA received only two comments in response to the proposed rule.
First, the Pipeline Standards-Developing Organizations Coordinating
Committee (PSDOCC) suggested that the most current addenda be included
for selected API tank standards as follows:
API Standard 620--include Addendum 1
API Standard 650--include Addenda 1-3
API Standard 653--include Addendum 1
These addenda are an integral part of the new editions of each
standard. Therefore, we will accept this suggestion and will explicitly
cite the addenda in the regulation.
Secondly, comments by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) are fully supportive of the incorporation by reference of the
proposed standards. They suggest only minor changes when citing the
National Electric Code (NEC). We agree and will cite the NEC as NFPA 70
(2005) in this final rule.
IV. Advisory Committee Recommendations
The Technical Pipeline Safety Standards Committee (TPSSC) and the
Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards Committee
(THLPSSC) at their December 14, 2005 meeting considered a July 18, 2005
proposal to update regulatory references to technical standards.
The TPSSC and THLPSSC have been established by statute to evaluate
proposed pipeline safety regulations. Each committee has an authorized
membership of 15 individuals with membership evenly divided between the
government, industry, and the public. Each member of these committees
is qualified to consider the technical feasibility, reasonableness,
cost-effectiveness, and practicability of proposed pipeline safety
regulations.
The proposal was unanimously accepted by all members of the
THLPSSC. The comments of the TPSSC supported the proposal and generally
were consistent with written comments filed by other commenters
discussed above.
V. Editorial Changes
The definition at Sec. 192.121 on the strength (``S'') of
plastic pipe is updated to include the current reference to part D.2.
of PPI TR-3/2004 instead of part E of TR-3/2000.
The reference at Sec. 192.619(a)(1)(i) to section N5.0 of
Appendix N of ASME B31.8 is updated to refer to section N5.
[[Page 33405]]
The phrase, ``HIGH CONSEQUENCE AREAS'', that appears after
Sec. 192.755 is deleted. This phrase was a typographical error.
The title to subpart O of part 192 is changed to read,
``Gas Transmission Pipeline Integrity Management''. This new title
accurately reflects that the subpart applies only to gas transmission
pipelines.
The standards reference for wind load data in Sec.
193.2067(b)(1) or LNG containers with less than 70,000 gallons is
updated to refer to ASCE/SEI 7-02, the current designation, rather than
to ASCE 7.
The standards reference for valve shell and seat testing
in Sec. 195.116(d) is corrected to refer to section 10 of API
Specification 6D, the current designation, rather than to section 5.
The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference NFPA 30
(2003), the new edition of the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code.
The section numbering in the 2003 edition differs from that in the 1996
edition. This requires updates to the section references in the
hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations. Therefore, Sec.
195.264(b)(1)(i) should cite section 4.3.2.3.2 of NFPA 30 (2003)
instead of section 2-3.4.3 of NPFA 30 (1996). Similarly, Sec.
195.264(b)(1)(ii) should cite section 4.3.2.3.1 of NFPA 30 (2003)
instead of section 2-3.4.2 of NFPA 30 (1996). We have made these
editorial changes in the final rule.
The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference API Standard
2510 (2001), the new edition of the standard for Design and
Construction of LPG Installations. The section numbering in the 2001
edition differs from that in the 1995 edition. This requires
corrections to the section references in the hazardous liquid pipeline
safety regulations. Therefore, Sec. 195.264(b)(2) should cite sections
5 and 11 in API Standard 2510 (2001) instead of sections 3 and 9 and
Sec. 195.264(e)(4) should cite sections 7 and 11 instead of sections 5
and 9. We have made these editorial changes in the final rule.
The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference API 620
(2002), the new edition of the standard for Design and Construction of
Large, Welded, Low-Pressure Storage Tanks. The section numbering in the
2002 edition differs from that in the previous edition. This requires
updates to the section references in the hazardous liquid pipeline
safety regulations. Therefore, Sec. 195.264(e)(3) should cite section
9 of API 620 instead of section 7. Similarly, Sec. 195.307(b) should
cite section 7.18 instead of section 5.18. We have made these editorial
changes in the final rule.
The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference NACE
Standard RP-0169 (2002), the new edition of the standard for Control of
External Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems.
The current text of Sec. Sec. 195.571 and 195.573(a)(2) refers to NACE
Standard RP0169-96. We have corrected these citations to the correct
form, which is ``NACE Standard RP-0169.''
VI. Rulemaking Analyses
Privacy Act
Anyone is able to search the electronic database for all comments
and documents received into any of our dockets by the name of the
individual submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted
on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may
review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register
published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477) or you may visit the online
Docket Management System at: http://dms.dot.gov.
Executive Order 12866
This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735) and, therefore, was
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This rule is not significant under the Regulatory Policies and
Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034).
Executive Order 13132
This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This
final rule does not:
(1) Have substantial direct effect on the states, the relationship
between the national government and the states, or the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the various levels of government;
(2) Impose substantial direct compliance costs on state and local
governments; or
(3) Preempt state law.
Therefore, the consultation and funding requirements of Executive
Order 13132 do not apply.
Executive Order 13084
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13084, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments. Because this rule will not
significantly or uniquely affect the Indian tribal governments, the
funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not
apply.
Executive Order 13211
PHMSA has determined this final rule is not a ``significant energy
action'' under Executive Order 13211. It also is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have
significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. Further, this final rule has not been designated by the
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a
significant energy action.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule will not impose additional requirements on pipeline
operators, including small entities that operate regulated pipelines.
Rather, the final rule only incorporates the most recent editions of
voluntary consensus standards that represent the current best practice
in pipeline technology. Incorporating the most recent editions of these
standards does not impose additional costs on small or large gas
pipelines, hazardous liquid pipelines, or liquefied natural gas
companies, and may reduce costs by contributing to even safer pipeline
operations. Based on the facts available about the expected impact of
this rulemaking, I certify, under section 605 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605), that this rulemaking will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
National Environmental Policy Act
We have analyzed the final rule changes for purposes of the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Because the
adoption of the latest standards moves pipeline construction,
operations, and maintenance toward current best practices, we have
determined that the changes will not significantly affect the quality
of the human environment.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not impose any new or revised information
collection requirements.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This final rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of
$100 million or more to State, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector, and is the least burdensome
alternative that achieves the objective of the final rule.
