Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 2728-2729 [E7-823]

Download as PDF 2728 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 13 / Monday, January 22, 2007 / Notices also requires PHMSA to submit the costbenefit analyses and risk assessment information on each proposed standard to the appropriate advisory committee. THLPSSC evaluates the merits of the data and, when appropriate, provides recommendations on the adequacy of the cost-benefit analyses. 3. Background on the Proposed Rule The THLPSSC will discuss and vote on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to extend pipeline safety regulations to rural onshore hazardous liquid gathering lines and low stress lines. Discussion will include comments received on the proposed rule published on September 6, 2006, and the recently passed Congressional direction on the subject of this rulemaking. On December 29, 2006, the President signed the PIPES Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–468) reauthorizing the pipeline safety program. The Act requires PHMSA to extend regulation to all low stress hazardous liquid pipelines. To accomplish this, we need additional information on the economic and energy impacts extension of the regulations will have on the operators of these pipelines. Many of these may be small operators. While we gather this information, we intend to act on the current proposal to extend safety regulation to currently unregulated rural onshore gathering lines and certain unregulated low stress pipelines. This will expedite safety protection for these pipelines. PHMSA will issue a final rule based on the proposed rule, the comments received from the public, and the vote and comments of the advisory committee. Authority: 49 U.S.C. 60102, 60115. Issued in Washington, DC on January 11, 2007. Theodore L. Willke, Acting Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety. [FR Doc.
