§ 192.18 How to Notify PHMSA (a) An operator must provide any notification required by this part by - (1) Sending the notification by electronic mail to: InformationResourcesManager@dot.gov; or (2) Sending the notification by mail to ATTN: Information Resources Manager, DOT/PHMSA/OPS, East Building, 2nd Floor, E22-321, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590. (b) An operator must also notify the appropriate State or local pipeline safety authority when an applicable pipeline segment is located in a State where OPS has an interstate agent agreement, or an intrastate applicable pipeline segment is regulated by that State. (c) Unless otherwise specified, if an operator submits, pursuant to § 192.8, § 192.9, §192.13, §192.179, § 192.319, § 192.461, § 192.506, § 192.607,, §192.619, § 192.624§ 192.632, §192.634, § 192.636, § 192.710, § 192.712, § 192.714, § 192.745, §192.917, § 192.921,§192.927, § 192.933, or § 192.937a notification for use of a different integrity assessment method, analytical method, compliance period, sampling approach, pipeline material, or technique (i.e., "other technology") or "alternative equivalent technology") than otherwise prescribed in those sections, that notification must be submitted to PHMSA for review at least 90 days in advance of using the other method, approach, compliance timeline, or technique. An operator may proceed to use the other method, approach, compliance timeline, or technique 91 days after submitting the notification unless it receives a letter from the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety informing the operator that PHMSA objects to the proposal or that PHMSA requires additional time and/or more information to conduct its review.

{
  "jurisdiction": "US-AR",
  "subject": "intrastate-gas",
  "caveats": {
    "exactScope": "The searchable corpus contains every current numbered section, the code-wide definitions, and every operative appendix in official 23 CAR Part 500, plus direct pipeline rules 15 CAR sections 275-406 and 275-504. Reserved and removed provisions are inventory-only.",
    "excludedScope": "This is not all Arkansas pipeline law. Standalone statutes, dockets and orders, one-call law, utility rates and service, siting, environmental permits, highway crossings, local law, forms, and incorporated third-party standards are excluded. Other current AOGC gas and transportation rules are inventoried as adjacent production, conservation, storage, or fluid-transport material.",
    "applicabilityCaveat": "APSC administers certified intrastate gas safety downstream of producer custody transfer. AOGC section 275-406 separately reaches specified producer or producer-affiliated natural-gas systems. AOGC section 275-504 imposes state permitting and operational duties on specified hazardous-liquid pipelines, but PHMSA states that it directly inspects and enforces intrastate hazardous-liquid pipeline safety in Arkansas. Inclusion does not establish applicability to a particular facility.",
    "incorporationCaveat": "AOGC sections 275-406 and 275-504 use dynamic 'as amended' wording for federal Parts 190, 191, 192, 195, and 199. Part 500 is a state code that reproduces and modifies federal-derived gas provisions. References and relationship records do not substitute a retrieval-date federal text or decide the legal effect of incorporation.",
    "publicationCaveat": "The Code of Arkansas Rules identifies its online database as the official version, effective as a publication system January 1, 2025, updated weekly, and potentially behind recent agency rulemaking. The official Part 500 page reports Ark. R. 2026-6 effective January 8, 2026; its PDF is headed August 22, 2025 and Docket 25-025-R. Retrieval and site-update dates are publication observations, not inferred legal effective dates for every section.",
    "rights": "Official Arkansas and federal government artifacts are archived with attribution and SHA-256 provenance. Public access does not settle rights in seals, site presentation, forms, incorporated standards, or third-party material; downstream redistribution requires separate review."
