SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

December 2016, PHMSA issued an 

interim final rule (IFR) titled: ‘‘Pipeline 

Safety: Underground Natural Gas 

Storage Facilities’’ (81 FR 91860). In the 

IFR, PHMSA established minimum 

federal safety standards for intrastate 

and interstate underground natural gas 

storage facilities under its regulatory 

authority at 49 U.S.C. 60101 and 60102 

and as directed by section 12 of the 

‘‘Protecting our Infrastructure of 

Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 

2016.’’ On January 18, 2017, the 

American Gas Association, the 

American Petroleum Institute, the 

American Public Gas Association, and 

the Interstate Natural Gas Association of 

America (INGAA) jointly submitted a 

petition seeking reconsideration of 

certain provisions of the IFR. (INGAA 

has since withdrawn from the petition.) 

Recognizing that the IFR set certain 

deadlines by which the operators of 

underground natural gas storage 

facilities must act but that would occur 

before PHMSA could adopt a final rule, 

PHMSA published a notice on June 20, 

2017, in the Federal Register (82 FR 

28224), announcing that (1) the agency 

would not issue enforcement citations 

to operators for non-compliance with 

certain provisions of the IFR for a period 

of one year after publication of the final 

rule, and (2) it intended to address the 

issues raised by the petitioners in the 

final rule. For these reasons, PHMSA is 

now providing the public with an 

additional opportunity to comment on 

the IFR and an opportunity to comment 

on the issues raised in the petition. 

PHMSA is therefore reopening the 

comment period for this IFR until 

November 20, 2017. All documents and 

comments related to this matter are 

available for review at http://

www.regulations.gov in docket number 

PHMSA–2016–0016. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 11, 

2017, under authority delegated in 49 CFR 

1.97.

Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
