    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3713
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), a part of the Department of Transportation (DOT), is making corrections to certain rules regarding gas transmission pipelines. These changes are necessary following a 2024 court decision that removed specific safety requirements from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) because they were not justifiable. The amendments remove rules about monitoring internal pipeline corrosion and immediate repair criteria for specific types of pipeline damage. These changes take effect immediately to ensure that the regulations reflect the current legal environment and accurately guide pipeline operators.

    Simple Explanation

    The rules for taking care of gas pipes are being changed because a judge said some parts were not needed anymore. Now, the people in charge are removing those parts so the rules are correct.
