SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Meeting Details and Agenda

    PHMSA is holding a public meeting to assist with the implementation 
process for the gas transmission final rule, 84 FR 52180, and hazardous 
liquid pipeline final rule, 84 FR 52260, that were published in the 
Federal Register on October 1, 2019. PHMSA will provide an overview of 
the regulations, key regulatory milestones, and regulatory expectations 
to demonstrate compliance.\1\ PHMSA will also discuss the benefits of 
pipeline operators developing an effective safety culture, including 
safety management systems. PHMSA will solicit and discuss how operators 
may further control safety risks in operations by taking into account 
the operator's specific organizational structures and processes related 
to safety of operations, including compliance with new and existing 
regulations.

    \1\ The American Gas Association, American Petroleum Institute, 
American Public Gas Association, and Interstate Natural Gas 
Association of America submitted a joint petition for 
reconsideration of the gas transmission final rule on October 31, 
2019. A copy of the petition is available for review at https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=PHMSA-2011-0023-0472. The petition 
for reconsideration is currently under review by PHMSA; therefore, 
PHMSA does not intend to address the issues raised by the petition

will solicit additional FAQ topics on regulatory requirements from 
operators, regulators, and the public. The FAQs are intended to assist 
in the implementation of these final rules by providing clarification, 
guidance, information sources, and affirmation to operators as they 
strive to comply with new safety regulations. PHMSA has included the 
initial set of draft FAQs for the meeting in Docket No. PHMSA-2019-

FAQs will be published on a publicly available DOT website at https://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/meetings/MtgHome.mtg?mtg=146.
