Pipeline Safety: Pressure Limiting and Regulating Stations
Confirmation of effective date of direct final rule.
In the May 17, 2004, issue of the Federal Register, the Research and Special Programs Administration's Office of Pipeline Safety (RSPA/OPS) published a direct final rule that removed an unintended impact of regulations on pressure limiting and regulating stations. The direct final rule modified pressure limits that could have required a reduction in the operating pressure of certain pipelines and been impracticable for other pipelines to meet. The present document confirms the effective date of that direct final rule.
