Abstract: "Introduction: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is proposing changes to the Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR Part 192, which cover the transportation of natural gas by pipeline. Specifically, PHMSA proposes allowing natural gas transmission pipeline operators to use an alternative method to establish the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for certain pipelines (1) constructed of steel pipe manufactured using modern steel chemistry, rolling practices, and standards, and (2) inspected and tested to more rigorous standards. This report examines the benefits and costs of the proposed regulatory changes. Additionally, the report includes the analysis required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act."--PDF page 1.

The Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) administers the regulatory program to ensure the safe transport. of natural gas & haz. liquids by pipeline. In response to concern about the pipeline rupture that spilled 250,000 gallons of gas into a creek in Bellingham, WA in June 1999, killing 3 people, this report reviews the OPS's performance in regulating pipeline safety. It examined: the extent of major pipeline accidents from 1989-1998; OPS's implementation of the 1996 act's risk mgmt. demo. program; the OPS's inspection & enforcement efforts since the act's implementation; the OPS's responsiveness to recommendations from the Nat. Transport. Safety Board.
