    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    PHMSA, part of the Department of Transportation, is asking for public comments on a request from the Southern Natural Gas Company for a special permit. This permit would allow the company to not follow some rules about pipeline safety, specifically concerning pressure and location changes of pipelines. The company wants this permit so they don't have to replace or reduce the pressure on certain parts of their pipeline in Georgia and Mississippi. PHMSA is collecting feedback from the public until February 22, 2021, before deciding whether to approve or deny the request.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is asking people what they think about letting a gas company change some rules about their pipes, so they don't have to move or fix them in some places. They want to make sure it's safe to do this, and people can share their thoughts until February 22, 2021.

    PHMSA, part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is asking for public comments on a special permit requested by the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, LLC. This request seeks an exemption from certain federal pipeline safety rules for their pipelines in Texas. If approved, NGPL would be allowed to operate these pipelines at a higher pressure than currently permitted, which would assist in delivering more natural gas to a terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas. Public comments will be reviewed before PHMSA decides whether to approve or reject the special permit.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to know what people think about letting a gas company run its pipes in Texas with more oomph than usual, so they can send more gas faster. They will check people's comments before deciding if it's a good idea or not.
