Rule 515-9-1-.01 - Safe Installation and Operation of Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution Systems

By virtue of the authority vested in the Commission by law and pursuant to orders issued by the Commission on May 4, 1967, July 6, 1967, April 23, 1968, and October 29, 1970, all Rules and Regulations prescribed by the United States Department of Transportation applicable to the "Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Safety Standards" (C.F.R. 49, Parts 191 and 192) are by this Rule made the Rules and Regulations of the Georgia Public Service Commission for the safe installation and operation of all natural gas transmission and distribution facilities by companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission within this State. (These Federal rules are prescribed as minimum standards for observance by cooperating State Commissions and the individual States cannot promulgate less strict rules for this purpose. The Georgia Public Service Commission has not varied from these Federal standards. Due to the volume of these Federal rules, to changes made therein which this Commission cannot control and to the ready availability of such rules from the Federal Government, those rules are not reproduced herein. Full current sets of the rules may be obtained from the United States Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety, Washington, D.C. If and when the Georgia Public Service Commission undertakes to adopt rules more strict than those Federal rules, such adoption will adhere to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act and will be published herein.)
