The former dedicated pipeline-safety rules 4900 through 4975 are reserved after repeal; this connector does not represent them as current. Part 4 does not replace federal pipeline-safety requirements, determine whether a facility is interstate or intrastate, or resolve operator-specific orders, waivers, tariffs, or later rulemaking.",
