The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has announced a request for public comments on a special permit request from the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL). This request involves 16 segments of their pipeline in Texas, where they want to increase the maximum pressure allowed after changes in 2007 reduced it. The request includes safety measures like recent inspections and tests to ensure safety. PHMSA will review all public feedback before deciding whether to approve or deny the request. Comments can be submitted until May 21, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Natural Gas Pipeline Company wants to ask if they can make a part of their pipeline work harder after rules made it work less hard in 2007. The people in charge want to know what everyone thinks about this idea and will decide after hearing from them.
