Pipeline Safety: Control Room Management/Human Factors
Document Number: 2010-23227
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-09-17
Agency: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
PHMSA published the Control Room Management/Human Factors final rule in the Federal Register on December 3, 2009, which became effective on February 1, 2010. The final rule established an 18-month program development deadline of August 1, 2011, and a subsequent 18- month program implementation deadline of February 1, 2013. This proposed rule proposes to expedite the program implementation deadline to August 1, 2011, for most of the requirements, except for certain provisions regarding adequate information and alarm management, which would have a program implementation deadline of August 1, 2012.
