maintenance (O&M) plans required
under 49 CFR 192.605, 193.2017, and
195.402, to address the elimination of
hazardous leaks and minimize releases
of natural gas from pipeline facilities.
The plans must also address the
replacement or remediation of pipelines
that are known to leak due to their
material (including cast iron,
unprotected steel, wrought iron, and
historic plastics with known issues),
design, or past O&M history. The plans
must in be in writing, tailored to the
operator’s pipeline facilities, supported
by technical analysis where necessary,
and sufficiently detailed to clearly
describe the manner in which each
requirement is met. For additional
guidance on O&M plans for hazardous
liquid and natural gas pipeline facilities,
see ‘‘Operations & Maintenance
Enforcement Guidance,’’ part 192
subparts L and M, page 17, available at

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 60108(a)(3), as
amended by section 114(a) of the PIPES
Act of 2020, PHMSA and state
authorities with a certification under 49
U.S.C. 60105 will inspect operators’
revised O&M plans in calendar year
2022, and such inspections must be
completed by December 27, 2022.
During these inspections, PHMSA, or
the relevant state authority, is required
to evaluate whether the plans
adequately address items listed in
section 114 of the PIPES Act of 2020.
Operators need to consider the
following items as they update their
plans to comply with section 114 of the
PIPES Act of 2020:
• O&M plans must be detailed to
address the elimination of hazardous
leaks and minimization of releases of
natural gas from the operators’ pipeline
facilities; meaning pipeline operators
must update their plans to minimize,
among other things, fugitive emissions
and vented emissions from pipeline
facilities. PHMSA and state inspections,
therefore, will evaluate the steps taken
to prevent and mitigate both
unintentional, fugitive emissions as well
as intentional, vented emissions.
Fugitive emissions include any
unintentional leaks from equipment
such as pipelines, flanges, valves, meter
sets, or other equipment. Vented

emissions include any release of natural
gas to the atmosphere due to equipment
design or operations and maintenance
procedures. Common sources of vented
emissions include pneumatic device
bleeds, blowdowns, incomplete
combustion, or overpressure protection
venting (e.g., relief valves).
• O&M plans must address the
replacement or remediation of pipelines
that are known to leak based on the
material (including cast iron,
unprotected steel, wrought iron, and
historic plastics with known issues),
design, or past operating and
maintenance history of the pipeline.
PHMSA and state inspections will
include an evaluation of how the
material present in the pipeline system,
design of the system, as well as the past
O&M history of the system, contribute to
the leaks that occur on the system.
PHMSA and states will evaluate
whether the plans adequately address
reducing leaks on operators’ pipeline
systems due to the aforementioned
factors.
• Operators must carry out a current,
written O&M plan to address public
safety and the protection of the
environment. In addition to the new
statutory requirement that PHMSA and
state inspections consider the extent to
which the plans will contribute to the
elimination of hazardous leaks and
minimizing releases of natural gas from
pipeline facilities, PHMSA’s inspections
will continue to include an evaluation
of the extent to which the plans
contribute to both public safety and the
protection of the environment.
Developing and implementing
comprehensive written O&M plans is an
effective way to eliminate hazardous
leaks and minimize the release of
natural gas from pipeline systems.
PHMSA anticipates these self-executing
statutory mandates will result in
enhanced public safety and reductions
in pipeline emissions thereby reducing
impact on the environment.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 4, 2021,
under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.
Alan K. Mayberry,
Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
