**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 (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 §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 §192.619(a)(1)(i) to section N5.0 of Appendix N of
ASME B31.8 is updated to refer to section N5.

● The phrase, "HIGH CONSEQUENCE AREAS\'\', that appears after §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 §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
§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, §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, §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, §195.264(b)(2) should cite sections 5 and 11 in API Standard
2510 (2001) instead of sections 3 and 9 and §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, §195.264(e)(3) should cite section 9 of API 620 instead of
section 7. Similarly, §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 §§ 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.
