2. THLPSSC Background 

The THLPSSC is a statutorily 

mandated advisory committee that 

advises PHMSA on proposed safety 

standards for hazardous liquid 

pipelines. The THLPSSC was 

established under section 10(a)(2) of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. 

L. 92–463, 5 U.S.C. App. 1) and the 

pipeline safety law (49 U.S.C. Chap. 

601). The committee consists of 15 

members—five each representing 

government, industry, and the public. 

The pipeline safety law requires 

PHMSA to seek the THLPSSC’s advice 

on the reasonableness, costeffectiveness, and practicability of 

proposed safety standards for hazardous 

liquid pipelines. The pipeline safety law 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
2728 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 13 / Monday, January 22, 2007 / Notices 

also requires PHMSA to submit the costbenefit analyses and risk assessment 

information on each proposed standard 

to the appropriate advisory committee. 

THLPSSC evaluates the merits of the 

data and, when appropriate, provides 

recommendations on the adequacy of 

the cost-benefit analyses. 

3. Background on the Proposed Rule 

The THLPSSC will discuss and vote 

on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

to extend pipeline safety regulations to 

rural onshore hazardous liquid 

gathering lines and low stress lines. 

Discussion will include comments 

received on the proposed rule published 

on September 6, 2006, and the recently 

passed Congressional direction on the 

subject of this rulemaking. 

On December 29, 2006, the President 

signed the PIPES Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 

109–468) reauthorizing the pipeline 

safety program. The Act requires 

PHMSA to extend regulation to all low 

stress hazardous liquid pipelines. To 

accomplish this, we need additional 

information on the economic and energy 

impacts extension of the regulations 

will have on the operators of these 

pipelines. Many of these may be small 

operators. While we gather this 

information, we intend to act on the 

current proposal to extend safety 

regulation to currently unregulated rural 

onshore gathering lines and certain 

unregulated low stress pipelines. This 

will expedite safety protection for these 

pipelines. 

PHMSA will issue a final rule based 

on the proposed rule, the comments 

received from the public, and the vote 

and comments of the advisory 

committee. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 60102, 60115. 

Issued in Washington, DC on January 11, 

2007. 

Theodore L. Willke, 

Acting Associate Administrator for Pipeline 

Safety.
