SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 3, 2009, (74 FR 63310) 

PHMSA issued a final rule ‘‘Control 

Room Management/Human Factors’’ 

which became effective on February 1, 

2010. The final rule amended the 

Federal pipeline safety regulations to 

address human factors and other aspects 

of control room management for certain 

pipelines where controllers use 

supervisory control and data acquisition 

(SCADA) systems. Under the final rule, 

pipeline operators must implement 

methods to reduce the risk associated 

with controller fatigue. In addition, 

certain operators must define the roles 

and responsibilities of controllers and 

provide controllers with the necessary 

information, training, and processes to 

fulfill these responsibilities. Affected 

operators must also manage alarms, 

ensure control room considerations are 

taken into account when changing 

pipeline equipment or configurations, 

and review reportable incidents for 

accidents to determine whether control 

room actions contributed to the event. 

The workshop will include 

presentations highlighting several 

topical areas and the sharing of specific 

solutions based on initial feedback 

received from stakeholders. The panel 

format will offer the opportunity for 

dialogue and sharing of ideas to help 

PHMSA generate guidance material.
