Risk-Based Alternative To Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Rule **Citation:** 63 FR 5918 **Type / status:** rulemaking / proposed **Agency:** Research and Special Programs Administration **Effective / published:** Not stated / 1998-02-05 This notice proposes to allow operators of older hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines to elect a risk-based alternative in lieu of the existing rule. The existing rule requires the hydrostatic pressure testing of certain older pipelines. The risk-based alternative would allow operators to elect an approach to evaluating the integrity of these lines that takes into account individual risk factors. This would allow operators to focus resources on higher risk pipelines and effect a greater reduction in the overall risk from pipeline accidents. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `61ff6d027221ad867b20a2b495b9c122c06c304d02144cba4c01b1e25b937c97` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-98-2860` - Related records: 6 ## 2. Pipeline Safety: Incorporation of Standard NFPA 59A in the Liquefied Natural Gas Regulations **Citation:** 63 FR 5918 **Type / status:** rulemaking / proposed **Agency:** Research and Special Programs Administration **Effective / published:** Not stated / 1998-02-05 RSPA invites representatives of liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, state and local government, and the public to an open meeting on proposed changes to the LNG regulations. RSPA is drafting amendments to the LNG regulations by replacing substantive provisions of Part 193 of title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by incorporation by reference of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 59A (1996 edition)--Standard for the Production, Storage and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The proposed changes are intended to enable operators to utilize current technology, materials, and practices, thereby reducing costs and enhancing economic growth. We believe these changes will eliminate unnecessary or burdensome requirements. The purpose of this meeting is to gather information on experiences with the current Federal LNG safety regulations, and with the NFPA 59A standards, and to solicit comments and suggestions. RSPA hopes to publish the NPRM in the Federal Register for public evaluation and comment by July 1998. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `b1aa07b424fd9e4e82d2d307bfb976e11a16f9c91d77467af88bb732a751395d` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-98-2897` - Related records: 0 ## 3.
