**Metric Equivalents**

**AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.**

## ACTION: Final rule.

**SUMMARY:** This final rule amends the pipeline safety regulations to
provide metric equivalents. The metric equivalents are being provided
for informational purposes only. Operators would continue to use the
English measures for purposes of compliance and enforcement. No
changeover to the metric system of measurement is being contemplated at
this time. This may be reconsidered in the future.

**DATES:** Effective July 13, 1998.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:** Marvin Fell, (202) 366-6205, or by

mail at marvin.fell@rspa.dot.gov regarding the subject matter of this
final rule or regarding copies of this final rule and other material in
the docket.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**I. Background**

Executive Order 12770, titled \"Metric Usage in the Federal
Government\'\' (July 25, 1991), requires Federal agencies to use metric
measures in their business-related activities as a means to implement
the metric system of measures as the preferred system of weights and
measures for the United States[^1]. In order to explore its
responsibilities under this Executive Order, RSPA published an Advance
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on October 23, 1996 (61 FR 55069).
RSPA also held a public meeting on January 10, 1997 in Dallas, Texas. On
March 11, 1997, RSPA published an additional notice seeking further
comment on the metrication issue, particularly on the publication of
metric equivalents for all numerical measures in the pipeline safety
regulations. After considering the public comments to the notice and the
opinions expressed at the public meeting, RSPA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on December 29, 1997 (62 FR 67602-67607).

In its October 23, 1996, Notice of Public Meeting, RSPA requested
comments on seven questions. These questions concerned the best method
for providing metric conversion and the cost impact of conversion on the
pipeline industry, including the impact on small entities. The majority
of respondents were pipeline operators who opposed metric-only
regulations. As an alternative, they favored providing metric
equivalents. They cited the increased costs that could result from
metric conversion with no increase in safety. Some operators contended
that metric-only regulations might adversely impact small entities by
imposing training and administrative costs that would not contribute to
pipeline safety. A few commenters were in favor of metric only
regulations.

RSPA received 13 comments to its NPRM, including two from individuals
involved in metrication issues, three trade associations representing
propane transporters and natural gas distribution and transmission
operators, and eight hazardous liquid and gas pipeline operators. There
was near unanimous agreement with RSPA\'s proposal to provide metric
equivalents while maintaining English as the measure to be used for
compliance. Several operators stated that requiring a metric only
rulemaking would significantly add to compliance costs without adding
any safety benefits. However, two commenters suggested that operators be
able to choose whether to comply with metric or English measures. RSPA
believes that these two commenters have a good point. RSPA would like to
hear from any operator who would like to comply in metric rather than
English. RSPA believes that this should add little to the government
compliance costs.

The NPRM proposed displaying the metric measurement first, followed by
the English equivalent in parenthesis.

The comment cited most frequently by commenters is that since English
will remain the measure for compliance purposes it would be appropriate
to present the English measure first with the metric in parentheses.
RSPA concurs with this comment. Therefore, RSPA will present all English
measures with metric measures following in parentheses.

Several commenters noted that RSPA in its NPRM was not consistent in its
use of significant figures and that RSPA use the American Society for
Testing and Material (ASTM) Standard for Metric Practice. RSPA concurs
with this suggestion in its final rule. A few commenters noted where
RSPA had either overlooked a conversion or made errors in the
conversion. RSPA has made the appropriate corrections. Two comments were
received that a conversion was made on regulations that have expired.
RSPA will remove these regulations next time it updates its regulations.

By providing English measures and metric equivalents in its pipeline
safety regulations, RSPA provides the benefit of increasing public
understanding of the metric system, the goal of Executive Order 12770.
Providing metric equivalents also meets the requirement that \"metric
usage shall not be required to the extent that such use is impractical
or cause significant inefficiencies or loss of markets to United States
firms.\'\' (Executive Order 12770 of July 25, 1991).

A complete conversion to the metric system would prove extremely costly
to pipeline operators because most pipelines were designed using English
measures. Converting these pipelines to metric-only measures would be a
very time-consuming process involving considerable expenditure,
including educating pipeline employees in use of the metric system.

One pipeline operator noted in its comments that the metrication process
in pipeline safety dates to 1978 when sections 192.121 and 192.123 were
amended to include both English and metric measures. No changeover to
the metric system of measurement is being contemplated at this time.
This may be reconsidered in the future.

On May 4, 1998 at its joint meeting of the Technical Pipeline Safety
Standards Committee (TPSSC) and the Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline
Safety Standards Committee (THLPSSC), the two Congressionally mandated
advisory committees, OPS presented details concerning its metric
equivalents NPRM and the summary of the comments received. These two
committees voted overwhelming approval for OPS\'s metric equivalency
proposal with one recommended change. This was that the metric
equivalent be placed in parentheses after the English measure. There was
one dissenting vote. The dissenter wanting the English measure in
parentheses.

**II. Regulatory Analyses and** Notices

A. The Department of Transportation (DOT) does not consider this action
to be a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)of Executive
Order 12866 (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1994) and does not consider this
action significant under DOT\'s regulatory policies and procedures (44
FR 1103; February 26, 1979). Therefore, this rulemaking was not reviewed
by the Office of Management and Budget.

Because this proposed change to the regulations providing metric
equivalents for all English measures is for informational and
educational purposes only, and imposes no new requirements on pipeline
operators, it will have no economic impact. Therefore, no regulatory
evaluation is necessary.

*B. Regulatory Flexibility Act*

As discussed above this rule has no economic impact. Therefore, I
certify pursuant to Section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 605) that this rulemaking action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

*C. Executive Order 12612*

RSPA has analyzed this action in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 (52 FR 41685). RSPA has
determined that the action does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

*D. Paperwork Reduction Act*

This rule change has no impact on the amount of paperwork required by
these regulations.

*E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995*

This 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 either State or local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to
the private sector, and is the least burdensome alternative that
achieves the objective of the rule.
