Pipeline Safety: Update of Regulatory References to Technical Standards

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule updates the pipeline safety regulations to incorporate by reference all or parts of new editions of voluntary consensus technical standards to enable pipeline operators to utilize current technology, materials, and practices.

DATES: This final rule takes effect on July 10, 2006. The incorporation by reference of publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of July 10, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard D. Huriaux, Director, Technical Standards at (202) 366-4565, by fax at (202) 366-4566, or by e-mail at richard.huriaux@dot.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Background

   The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113) directs Federal agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in lieu of government-written standards whenever possible. Voluntary consensus standards are standards developed or adopted by voluntary bodies that develop, establish, or coordinate technical standards using agreed upon procedures.

   PHMSA participates in more than 25 national voluntary consensus standards committees. PHMSA's policy is to adopt voluntary consensus standards when they are applicable to pipeline design, construction, maintenance, inspection, and repair. In recent years, PHMSA has adopted dozens of new and revised voluntary consensus standards into its gas pipeline (49 CFR part 192), hazardous liquid pipeline (49 CFR part 195), and liquefied natural gas (LNG) (49 CFR part 193) regulations.

   Parts 192, 193, and 195 incorporate by reference all or parts of more than 60 standards and specifications developed and published by technical organizations, including the American Petroleum Institute, American Gas Association, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society for Testing and Materials, Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry, National Fire Protection Association, Plastics Pipe Institute, and Pipeline Research Council International. These organizations update and revise their published standards every 3 to 5 years, to reflect modern technology and best technical practices. PHMSA has reviewed the revised voluntary consensus standards to be incorporated in whole or in part in 49 CFR parts 192, 193, and 195.

   This final rule updates the Federal pipeline safety regulations to incorporate by reference all or parts of recent editions of the voluntary consensus technical standards that are currently referenced in the Federal pipeline safety regulations. It updates 38 standards in 49 CFR part 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards, 49 CFR part 193, Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities: Federal Safety Standards, and 49 CFR part 195, Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline. This update enables pipeline operators to use current technology, materials, and practices. The incorporation of the most recent editions of standards improves clarity, consistency, and accuracy, and reduces unnecessary burdens on the regulated community.

   Previous updates of the regulations to incorporate revised standards were issued on May 24, 1996 (61 FR 26121), June 6, 1996 (61 FR 2877), February 17, 1998 (63 FR 7721), and June 14, 2004

   [[Page 33403]]

   (69 FR 32886). PHMSA intends to issue periodic updates of referenced standards to ensure that the pipeline safety regulations reflect current practices and to improve compliance by the pipeline industry with safety standards.

2. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

   On July 18, 2005, PHMSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to incorporate by reference 39 new and/or reaffirmed editions of standards into the Federal pipeline safety regulations. All but one of the new editions is incorporated by reference in this final rule.

   PHMSA has chosen not to update the regulatory references found in the 2004 edition of the American Society for Testing and Materials' (ASTM) D2513, Standard Specification for Thermoplastic Gas Pressure Pipe, Tubing, and Fittings. We believe that a number of important issues need to be fully addressed by the ASTM Committee F-17 before we adopt any new editions of ASTM D2513. Among these are the issues of rework, regrind, marking, increase in design factor, and requirements for new materials. The gas pipeline safety regulations therefore continue to reference standards found in ASTM D2513 (1999 edition) and ASTM D2517 (2000 edition) for plastic pipe and fittings.

   This final rule accepts the following new editions of currently referenced standards for incorporation by reference (IBR) in parts 192, 193, and 195. The list is organized by the standards developing organization responsible for the standard and shows each section of the regulations referencing the standard.

3. Comments on Proposed Rule

   PHMSA received only two comments in response to the proposed rule. First, the Pipeline Standards-Developing Organizations Coordinating Committee (PSDOCC) suggested that the most current addenda be included for selected API tank standards as follows:

   API Standard 620--include Addendum 1

   API Standard 650--include Addenda 1-3

   API Standard 653--include Addendum 1

   These addenda are an integral part of the new editions of each standard. Therefore, we will accept this suggestion and will explicitly cite the addenda in the regulation.

   Secondly, comments by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are fully supportive of the incorporation by reference of the proposed standards. They suggest only minor changes when citing the National Electric Code (NEC). We agree and will cite the NEC as NFPA 70 (2005) in this final rule.

4. Advisory Committee Recommendations

   The Technical Pipeline Safety Standards Committee (TPSSC) and the Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards Committee (THLPSSC) at their December 14, 2005 meeting considered a July 18, 2005 proposal to update regulatory references to technical standards.

   The TPSSC and THLPSSC have been established by statute to evaluate proposed pipeline safety regulations. Each committee has an authorized membership of 15 individuals with membership evenly divided between the government, industry, and the public. Each member of these committees is qualified to consider the technical feasibility, reasonableness, cost-effectiveness, and practicability of proposed pipeline safety regulations.

   The proposal was unanimously accepted by all members of the THLPSSC. The comments of the TPSSC supported the proposal and generally were consistent with written comments filed by other commenters discussed above.

5. Editorial Changes

   The definition at Sec. 192.121 on the strength (``S'') of plastic pipe is updated to include the current reference to part D.2. of PPI TR-3/2004 instead of part E of TR-3/2000.

   The reference at Sec. 192.619(a)(1)(i) to section N5.0 of Appendix N of ASME B31.8 is updated to refer to section N5.

   [[Page 33405]]

   The phrase, ``HIGH CONSEQUENCE AREAS'', that appears after Sec. 192.755 is deleted. This phrase was a typographical error.

   The title to subpart O of part 192 is changed to read, ``Gas Transmission Pipeline Integrity Management''. This new title accurately reflects that the subpart applies only to gas transmission pipelines.

   The standards reference for wind load data in Sec. 193.2067(b)(1) or LNG containers with less than 70,000 gallons is updated to refer to ASCE/SEI 7-02, the current designation, rather than to ASCE 7.

   The standards reference for valve shell and seat testing in Sec. 195.116(d) is corrected to refer to section 10 of API Specification 6D, the current designation, rather than to section 5.

   The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference NFPA 30 (2003), the new edition of the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. The section numbering in the 2003 edition differs from that in the 1996 edition. This requires updates to the section references in the hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations. Therefore, Sec. 195.264(b)(1)(i) should cite section 4.3.2.3.2 of NFPA 30 (2003) instead of section 2-3.4.3 of NPFA 30 (1996). Similarly, Sec. 195.264(b)(1)(ii) should cite section 4.3.2.3.1 of NFPA 30 (2003) instead of section 2-3.4.2 of NFPA 30 (1996). We have made these editorial changes in the final rule.

   The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference API Standard 2510 (2001), the new edition of the standard for Design and Construction of LPG Installations. The section numbering in the 2001 edition differs from that in the 1995 edition. This requires corrections to the section references in the hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations. Therefore, Sec. 195.264(b)(2) should cite sections 5 and 11 in API Standard 2510 (2001) instead of sections 3 and 9 and Sec. 195.264(e)(4) should cite sections 7 and 11 instead of sections 5 and 9. We have made these editorial changes in the final rule.

   The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference API 620 (2002), the new edition of the standard for Design and Construction of Large, Welded, Low-Pressure Storage Tanks. The section numbering in the 2002 edition differs from that in the previous edition. This requires updates to the section references in the hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations. Therefore, Sec. 195.264(e)(3) should cite section 9 of API 620 instead of section 7. Similarly, Sec. 195.307(b) should cite section 7.18 instead of section 5.18. We have made these editorial changes in the final rule.

   The NPRM proposed to incorporate by reference NACE Standard RP-0169 (2002), the new edition of the standard for Control of External Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems. The current text of Sec. Sec. 195.571 and 195.573(a)(2) refers to NACE Standard RP0169-96. We have corrected these citations to the correct form, which is ``NACE Standard RP-0169.''

6. Rulemaking Analyses

   Privacy Act

   Anyone is able to search the electronic database for all comments and documents received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477) or you may visit the online Docket Management System at: http://dms.dot.gov.

   Executive Order 12866

   This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735) and, therefore, was not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This rule is not significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034).

   Executive Order 13132

   This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This final rule does not:

   (1) Have substantial direct effect on the states, the relationship between the national government and the states, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government;

   (2) Impose substantial direct compliance costs on state and local governments; or

   (3) Preempt state law.

   Therefore, the consultation and funding requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.

   Executive Order 13084

   This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13084, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments. Because this rule will not significantly or uniquely affect the Indian tribal governments, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not apply.

   Executive Order 13211

   PHMSA has determined this final rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive Order 13211. It also is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. Further, this final rule has not been designated by the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action.

   Regulatory Flexibility Act

   This final rule will not impose additional requirements on pipeline operators, including small entities that operate regulated pipelines. Rather, the final rule only incorporates the most recent editions of voluntary consensus standards that represent the current best practice in pipeline technology. Incorporating the most recent editions of these standards does not impose additional costs on small or large gas pipelines, hazardous liquid pipelines, or liquefied natural gas companies, and may reduce costs by contributing to even safer pipeline operations. Based on the facts available about the expected impact of this rulemaking, I certify, under section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605), that this rulemaking will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

   National Environmental Policy Act

   We have analyzed the final rule changes for purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Because the adoption of the latest standards moves pipeline construction, operations, and maintenance toward current best practices, we have determined that the changes will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

   Paperwork Reduction Act

   This final rule does not impose any new or revised information collection requirements.

   Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

   This final rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of $100 million or more to State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, and is the least burdensome alternative that achieves the objective of the final rule.
