SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 1998, RSPA issued a final rule [63 FR 5464] 
requiring operators of natural gas distribution systems to provide 
certain customers with information about excess flow valves (EFV's). In 
that final rule on page 5471 under Sec. 192.383(b)--Which customers 
must receive notification, in the first sentence the service line 
pressure of not less than 68.9 kPa (10 psig) was erroneously labeled 
``68.9 m (10 psig)''.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contains an error in metric units 
which may confuse and is in need of clarification.
