## Document text

§ 192.303 Compliance with Specifications or Standards (a) Each transmission line or main must be constructed in accordance with comprehensive written specifications or standards that are consistent with this Code. Applications or petitions for Certificates of Convenience and Necessity for new construction filed with the Arkansas Public Service Commission shall stipulate that design, construction, testing, operation and maintenance of facility will comply with the requirements of the Arkansas Gas Pipeline Code. (b) Each operator of a mobile home park, Federal housing development, or multi-building complex having a master meter, who constructs a distribution system must submit construction plans to the local gas operator for approval before construction is started. The plan shall show the following: location, type, size and specification of pipe; number of services; operating pressure; plans for corrosion control of the pipe, i.e., coating of pipe and cathodic protection. This review will assure all material and construction procedures meet the requirements of this Code. Each owner or operator must certify in writing to the operator supplying gas that the system shall be constructed, tested and inspected in accordance with this Code. This certification must be made to the gas operator before service is connected to the system and will be kept on file by each party for the life of the system.

  "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."
