SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The GPAC and the LPAC are 

statutorily mandated advisory 

committees that advise PHMSA on 

proposed gas pipeline and hazardous 

liquid pipeline safety standards, 

respectively, and their associated risk 

assessments. The committees are 

established in accordance with the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. App. 2, as amended) and 49 

U.S.C. 60115. The committees consist of 

15 members with membership evenly 

divided among federal and state 

governments, the regulated industry, 

and the public. The committees advise 

PHMSA on the technical feasibility, 

reasonableness, cost-effectiveness, and 

practicability of each proposed pipeline 

safety standard. 

II. Meeting Details and Agenda 

The GPAC will be considering the 

gathering line component of the 

proposed rule titled: ‘‘Safety of Gas 

Transmission and Gathering Pipelines,’’ 

that was published in the Federal 

Register on April 8, 2016, (81 FR 20722) 

and the associated regulatory analysis. 

The rule proposes to repeal the use of 

API Recommended Practice 80 for 

gathering lines, apply Type B 

requirements along with emergency 

requirements to newly regulated greater 

than 8-inch Type A gathering lines in 

Class 1 locations, and extend the 

reporting requirements to all gathering 

lines. 

The GPAC and LPAC will meet in a 

joint session to discuss relevant policy 

issues and topics. The topics will 

include: Pipeline safety public 

awareness; regulatory update; Voluntary 

Information-sharing System Working 

Group update; research and 

development projects update; and other 

relevant topics. 

PHMSA will post the agendas on the 

meeting page at: https://
