Background Pipeline safety regulations issued in 1999 require operators to have programs to ensure the qualifications of individuals performing safety tasks on pipelines. The regulations address operation and maintenance tasks and the ability of individuals to react to abnormal operating conditions to protect life and property. The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 amended the pipeline safety law by adding section 49 U.S.C 60131. Section 60131 provides standards and criteria for operator qualification programs, directs PHMSA to ensure their inclusion in programs, and directs PHMSA to report to Congress on the status and results of operator qualification programs. In a final rule published in the Federal Register on March 3, 2005, PHMSA changed the operator qualification regulations to conform to section 60131. Among the changes was the required inclusion of training ‘‘as appropriate.’’ (70 FR 10332.) Because of the differences between the performance-based operator qualification regulations and the standards and criteria in section 60131, PHMSA developed protocols and ‘‘Frequently Asked Questions.’’ PHMSA and State inspectors use these when auditing operator qualification programs to find out the extent of compliance with the regulations. PHMSA and State inspectors are completing their first audits and collecting information on those audits for the Report to Congress. The report on the status and results of the operator qualification programs is due December 17, 2006. PHMSA discussed a proposed outline for this report and the early information about E:\FR\FM\28OCN1.SGM 28OCN1
