Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 13310 [E9-6692]

Download as PDF 13310 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 57 / Thursday, March 26, 2009 / Notices discovered a number of issues that could have a clear impact on the integrity of the pipeline. During the 2008 pipeline construction season, PHMSA inspectors discovered issues requiring immediate operator remediation prior to the pipeline being placed in service or requiring pressure reduction to assure pipeline integrity. Issues discovered during PHMSA inspections included poor quality control and procedures for welding, coating, and materials; as well as inadequate operator inspection and general construction practices. PHMSA developed this workshop in collaboration with our State partners, FERC and NEB to inform the public, alert the industry, review lessons learned from inspections, and to improve new pipeline construction practices prior to the 2009 construction season. Due to time constraints, this workshop will focus solely on natural gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines being constructed on established rights-of-way and will not include discussion on property rights, permitting or siting issues. Preliminary Workshop Agenda The workshop will include: (1) Quality Control and Inspection, (2) Welding, (3) Coating, (4) Materials, and (5) Best practices for pipeline construction. Refer to the meeting Web site for a more detailed agenda: https:// primis.phmsa.dot.gov/meetings/ Mtg58.mtg. Issued in Washington, DC, on March 19, 2009. Jeffrey D.
