    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 7334
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is requesting public input on a special permit application from the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, LLC (NGPL), a part of Kinder Morgan, Inc. This application seeks exceptions from some federal safety standards for pipeline operation in Arkansas. The special permit would allow NGPL to use existing pipes designed for a Class 1 area in a Class 3 area without replacing them. Public comments are welcome until February 26, 2021, and PHMSA will consider all relevant feedback before making a decision.

    Simple Explanation

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is asking people for their thoughts on whether a gas pipeline company should be allowed to use certain pipes in a different area without following all the usual safety rules. They want to know what everyone thinks by February 26, 2021, before they decide what to do.
