• Abstract:
  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.
