  <title><![CDATA[  Pipeline Safety: Integrity Management Program for Gas  Distribution Pipelines]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-06-25-08-1387</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ PHMSA proposes to amend the Federal Pipeline Safety 
Regulations to require operators of gas distribution pipelines to 
develop and implement integrity management (IM) programs. The purpose 
of these programs is to enhance safety by identifying and reducing 
pipeline integrity risks. The IM programs required by the proposed rule 
would be similar to those currently required for gas transmission 
pipelines, but tailored to reflect the differences in and among 
distribution systems. In accordance with Federal law, the proposed rule 
would require operators to install excess flow valves on certain new 
and replaced residential service lines, subject to feasibility criteria 
outlined in the rule. Based on the required risk assessments and 
enhanced controls, the proposed rule also would establish procedures 
and standards permitting riskbased adjustment of prescribed intervals 
for leak detection surveys and other fixedinterval requirements in the 
agency's existing regulations for gas distribution pipelines. To<script type="text/javascript">

  <title><![CDATA[  Pipeline Safety: Notice to Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operators of  Request for Voluntary Advance Notification of]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-06-25-E8-14137</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ PHMSA is requesting that any hazardous liquid pipeline 
operator intending to transport ethanol, ethanolgasoline blends, or 
other biofuels by pipeline voluntarily provide us with advance notice 
of their intent to transport these fuels to facilitate cooperation in 
achieving safety. We request that any operator intending to field test 
transportation of biofuels by pipeline notify PHMSA of such testing in 
advance so that PHMSA can work with the operator to address any safety 
concerns that arise. PHMSA will be interested in discussing the steps 
the operator will take to ensure safety during the test and informing 
the local emergency response officials about the product being 
transported.
