Risk-Based Alternative to Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid
and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Rule; Correction
AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects a final rule published November 4, 1998
(63 FR 59475). This final rule allows operators of older hazardous
liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines to elect a risk-based alternative
in lieu of the existing hydrostatic pressure test rule. This document
makes a minor correction by removing an unrelated sentence that
[[Page 6815]]
inadvertently appeared in Table 4 of the Appendix B.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 11, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Israni, (202) 366-4571, or e-
mail: mike.israni@rspa.dot.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When RSPA published the final rule in the
Federal Register, it inadvertently included an unrelated sentence
``This section has been revised to include reference to ANSI/NFPA 59A
in paragraph (a) as follows:'' in the `Indicator' column of Table 4 in
Appendix B. This document corrects the text in Table 4 of Appendix B by
removing that sentence. RSPA regrets any confusion this erroneous
sentence may have caused.
