SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This notice proposes to update the
Federal pipeline safety regulations to all
or parts of recent editions of the
voluntary consensus technical standards
that are currently incorporated by
reference in the Federal pipeline safety
regulations. It updates 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
utilize 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
(69 FR 32886). PHMSA intends to issue
periodic updates to ensure that the
pipeline safety regulations reflect
current practice and to improve
compliance by the pipeline industry
with safety standards.
Standards Incorporated by Reference
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 voluntary consensus
standards into its gas pipeline,
hazardous liquid pipeline, and liquefied
natural gas (LNG) regulations.
PHMSA has reviewed the voluntary
consensus standards proposed for
incorporation in whole or in part in 49
CFR parts 192, 193, and 195. The
organizations responsible for producing
these standards often update or revise
them to incorporate the most current
technology.

Rulemaking Analyses
Executive Order 12866
This proposed 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 proposed rule is not
significant under the Regulatory Policies
and Procedures of the Department of
Transportation (44 FR 11034).
Executive Order 13132
This proposed rule has been analyzed
in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13132 (‘‘Federalism’’). This notice does
not propose any regulation that:
(1) Has 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) imposes substantial direct
compliance costs on state and local
governments; or
(3) preempts state law.
Therefore, the consultation and
funding requirements of Executive
Order 13132 do not apply.
Executive Order 13084
This proposed rule has been analyzed
in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13084, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments.
Because the proposed rule would not
significantly or uniquely affect the
Indian tribal governments, the funding
and consultation requirements of
Executive Order 13084 do not apply.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rulemaking will not impose
additional requirements on pipeline
operators, including small entities that
operate regulated pipelines. Rather, the
proposed 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
E:\FR\FM\18JYP1.SGM
18JYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 2005 / Proposed Rules
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.
49 CFR Part 193
National Environmental Policy Act
We have analyzed the proposed 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 preliminarily
determined that the proposed changes
would not significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule does not impose
any new or revised information
collection requirements.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This proposed 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 either 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 proposed rule.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Designation of Critical
Habitat for the Central Population of
California Tiger Salamander
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of
comment period and notice of
availability of draft economic analysis.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, announce the
reopening of the comment period on the
proposed designation of critical habitat
for the Central population of the
California tiger salamander and the
availability of the draft economic
analysis of the proposed designation of
critical habitat. The draft economic
analysis identifies potential costs of
approximately $367 million over a 20year period or $32.8 million per year as
a result of the designation of critical
habitat, including those costs
coextensive with listing. We are
reopening the comment period to allow
all interested parties an opportunity to
comment simultaneously on the
proposed rule and the associated draft
economic analysis. Comments
previously submitted need not be
resubmitted as they will be incorporated
into the public record as part of this
comment period, and will be fully
considered in preparation of the final
rule.
We will accept public comments
until August 3, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
materials may be submitted to us by any
one of the following methods:
1. You may submit written comments
and information to Field Supervisor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Solicited
We will accept written comments and
information during this reopened
comment period. We solicit comments
on the original proposed critical habitat
designation (69 FR 48570, August 10,
2004) and on our draft economic
analysis of the proposed designation.
We will consider information and
recommendations from all interested
parties. We are particularly interested in
comments concerning:
(1) The reasons why any habitat
should or should not be determined to
be critical habitat, as provided by
section 4 of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (Act) (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.), including whether the
benefits of exclusion outweigh the
benefits of including such area as part
of critical habitat;
(2) Specific information on the
amount and distribution of California
tiger salamander (CTS) habitat, and
what habitat is essential to the
conservation of this species and why;
(3) Land use designations and current
or planned activities in the subject area
and their possible impacts on proposed
habitat;
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4702

Sfmt 4702
(4) Information on how many of the
State and local environmental
protection measures referenced in the
draft economic analysis were adopted
largely as a result of the listing of the
CTS, and how many were either already
in place or enacted for other reasons;
(5) Whether the draft economic
analysis identifies all State and local
costs attributable to the proposed
critical habitat designation, and
information on any costs that have been
inadvertently overlooked;
(6) Whether the draft economic
analysis makes appropriate assumptions
regarding current practices and likely
regulatory changes imposed as a result
of the designation of critical habitat;
(7) Whether the draft economic
analysis correctly assesses the effect on
regional costs associated with land use
controls that derive from the
designation of critical habitat;
(8) The draft economic analysis
indicated potentially disproportionate
impacts to areas within Alameda,
Contra Costa, and Monterey Counties.
Based on this information, we are
considering excluding portions of these
areas from the final designation per our
discretion under section 4(b)(2) of the
Act. We are specifically seeking
comment along with additional
information concerning our final
determination for these three areas
along with any other areas with
potentially disproportionate impacts.
(9) Any foreseeable economic or other
impacts resulting from the proposed
designation of critical habitat, and in
particular, any impacts on small entities
or families; does our conclusion that the
proposed designation of critical habitat
will not result in a disproportionate
effect to small businesses warrant
further consideration, and is there other
information that would indicate that the
designation of critical habitat would or
would not have any impacts on small
entities or families;
(10) Whether the draft economic
analysis appropriately identifies all
costs that could result from the
designation; and
(11) Whether our approach to critical
habitat designation could be improved
or modified in any way to provide for
greater public participation and
understanding, or to assist us in
accommodating public concern and
comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This notice proposes to update the Federal pipeline safety
regulations to all or parts of recent editions of the voluntary
consensus technical standards that are currently incorporated by
reference in the Federal pipeline safety regulations. It updates
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 utilize 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 (69 FR
32886). PHMSA intends to issue periodic updates to ensure that the
pipeline safety regulations reflect current practice and to improve
compliance by the pipeline industry with safety standards.
Standards Incorporated by Reference
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 voluntary consensus standards into its gas pipeline,
hazardous liquid pipeline, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) regulations.
PHMSA has reviewed the voluntary consensus standards proposed for
incorporation in whole or in part in 49 CFR parts 192, 193, and 195.
The organizations responsible for producing these standards often
update or revise them to incorporate the most current technology.
[[Page 41175]]
Parts 192, 193, and 195 incorporate by reference all or parts of 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.
The most recent editions of these documents represent a consensus on
the best current practice and modern technology in the pipeline
industry.
PHMSA proposes to adopt all or part of recent editions of 39 of the
60 standards referenced in the pipeline safety regulations.
New Editions of Standards
The following new editions of currently referenced standards are
proposed for incorporation by reference (ibr) in Parts 192, 193, and
195. These new editions refine, correct, and clarify existing material
in the standard, and generally do not introduce new topics. The list is
organized by the standards-developing organization responsible for the
standard. Each entry contains the title and a short description, along
with what sections of the pipeline safety regulations reference the
standard. In the interest of clarity, the regulatory language at the
end of this document lists all standards incorporated by reference,
including those updated standards described below.

Rulemaking Analyses
Executive Order 12866
This proposed 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 proposed rule is not significant under the Regulatory Policies and
Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034).
Executive Order 13132
This proposed rule has been analyzed in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132
(``Federalism''). This notice does not propose any regulation that:
(1) Has 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) imposes substantial direct compliance costs on state and local
governments; or
(3) preempts state law.
Therefore, the consultation and funding requirements of Executive
Order 13132 do not apply.
Executive Order 13084
This proposed rule has been analyzed in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13084,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments. Because
the proposed rule would not significantly or uniquely affect the Indian
tribal governments, the funding and consultation requirements of
Executive Order 13084 do not apply.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rulemaking will not impose additional requirements on pipeline
operators, including small entities that operate regulated pipelines.
Rather, the proposed 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
[[Page 41179]]
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 proposed 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
preliminarily determined that the proposed changes would not
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule does not impose any new or revised information
collection requirements.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This proposed 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 either 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 proposed rule.
