Pipeline Safety: Safety of Underground Natural Gas Storage Facilities **Citation:** 85 FR 8104 **Type / status:** rulemaking / historical **Agency:** Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration **Effective / published:** 2020-03-13 / 2020-02-12 The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is publishing this final rule to amend its minimum safety standards for underground natural gas storage facilities (UNGSFs). On December 19, 2016, PHMSA issued an interim final rule (IFR) establishing regulations in response to the 2015 Aliso Canyon incident and the subsequent mandate in section 12 of the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016. The IFR incorporated by reference two American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practices (RPs): API RP 1170, "Design and Operation of Solution-mined Salt Caverns Used for Natural Gas Storage" (First Edition, July 2015); and API RP 1171, "Functional Integrity of Natural Gas Storage in Depleted Hydrocarbon Reservoirs and Aquifer Reservoirs" (First Edition, September 2015). The IFR required each provision in the API RPs to apply as mandatory (i.e., each "should" statement would apply as a "shall") unless an operator provides written justification for not implementing the practice, including an explanation for why it is impracticable and not necessary for safety. Based on the comments received to the IFR and a petition for reconsideration, PHMSA has determined that the RPs, as originally published, will provide PHMSA with a stronger basis upon which to base enforcement than the IFR. This final rule also addresses recommendations from commenters and a petition for reconsideration of the IFR by modifying compliance timelines, revising the definition of a UNGSF, clarifying the states' regulatory role, reducing recordkeeping and reporting requirements, formalizing integrity management practices, and adding risk management requirements for solution-mined salt caverns. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `0026531c391f2287f6f3f697a4652e108d919370d5f7110bb5bec6ab3ff96e76` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2020-00565` - Related records: 31 ## 9.

Pipeline Safety: Integrity Management Program for Gas Distribution Pipelines **Citation:** 74 FR 63906 **Type / status:** rulemaking / historical **Agency:** Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration **Effective / published:** 2010-02-02 / 2009-12-04 PHMSA is amending 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 this rule are similar to those required for gas transmission pipelines, but tailored to reflect the differences in and among distribution pipelines. Based on the required risk assessments and enhanced controls, the rule also allows for risk-based adjustment of prescribed intervals for leak detection surveys and other fixed-interval requirements in the agency's existing regulations for gas distribution pipelines. To further minimize regulatory burdens, the rule establishes simpler requirements for master meter and small liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) operators, reflecting the relatively lower risk of these small pipelines. In accordance with Federal law, the rule also requires operators to install excess flow valves on new and replaced residential service lines, subject to feasibility criteria outlined in the rule. This final rule addresses statutory mandates and recommendations from the DOT's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and stakeholder groups. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `a3d9feb82d6eea38e2b99106150dffb344b996ec9400f64600e99bb72533688b` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-e9-28467` - Related records: 27 ## 29.

Pipeline Safety: Integrity Management Program for Gas Distribution Pipelines **Citation:** 73 FR 36015 **Type / status:** rulemaking / proposed **Agency:** Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration **Effective / published:** Not stated / 2008-06-25 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 risk-based adjustment of prescribed intervals for leak detection surveys and other fixed-interval requirements in the agency's existing regulations for gas distribution pipelines. To further minimize regulatory burdens, the proposed rule would establish simpler requirements for master meter and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) operators, reflecting the relatively lower risk of these small pipeline systems. This proposal also addresses statutory mandates and recommendations from the DOT's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and stakeholder groups. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `1d1e43486d40ce5702029d3a247bfa6eb1f4559b0be4433f2d8294ffddf6b2fc` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-08-1387` - Related records: 29 ## 51.
