Pipeline Safety: Control Room Management/Human Factors, 
Correction

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA);

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: PHMSA is correcting a Final Rule that appeared in the Federal 
Register on December 3, 2009. That final rule amended the Federal 
Pipeline Safety Regulations to address human factors and other aspects 
of control room management for pipelines where controllers use 
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, but contained 
errors regarding certain dates, both in the preamble and the 
amendments. This document corrects those errors.

DATES: Effective Date: February 3, 2010. Applicability Date: This 
correction is applicable beginning February 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 3, 2009, PHMSA published a final 
rule in the Federal Register (74 FR 63310) entitled ``Pipeline Safety: 
Control Room Management/Human Factors.'' This final rule contained 
several errors regarding certain compliance dates. The final rule 
became effective on February 1, 2010, and the corrected dates detailed 
in this final rule correction are applicable as of February 1, 2010.
    On page 63311 of the preamble to the December 3 rule, in the first 
column in the DATES section, the compliance date is corrected to read 
``Compliance Date: An operator must develop control room management 
procedures by August 1, 2011, and implement the procedures by February 
1, 2013.''
