10.7(1) A petition for renewal of an original or previously renewed pipeline permit shall be filed at least one year, and no more than five years, prior to the expiration of the permit. The petition shall be made on the form prescribed by the commission. Instructions for the petition are included as a part of the form, and the form is available on the commission's website. The petition shall include the information required by Iowa Code section 479.23 and paragraph 10.3(1)"d." The route map shall meet the requirements in paragraph 10.3(1)"b," except the existing pipeline route shall be provided instead of the proposed route and the information listed in subparagraph 10.3(1)"b"(6) is not required. The petition shall be considered filed with the commission on the date accepted into the commission's electronic filing system as provided for in 199-Chapter 14. The petition shall be attested to by an officer, official, or attorney with authority to represent the pipeline company.

10.7(2) The procedure for petition for permit shall be followed with respect to publication of notice, objections, and assessment of costs.

10.7(3) If there are unresolved issues of fact or law, or if an objection is filed within 20 days of the second publication of the published notice, the commission shall set the matter for hearing. If a hearing is not required, and the petition satisfies the requirements of this rule, a renewed permit will be issued upon the filing of the proof of publication required by rule 199-10.4(479).

{
  "jurisdiction": "US-IA",
  "chapter": "199 IAC chapter 10",
  "exactScope": "This bounded corpus contains every current rule in 199 IAC chapters 10 and 19, the two chapters identified by the Iowa Utilities Commission pipeline-safety page, plus 15 selected Iowa Code sections that directly establish gas-utility applicability, inspection and rulemaking authority, enforcement, penalties, and acceptance of federal pipeline-safety aid. It does not claim all Iowa pipeline law or all of Iowa Code chapters 476 and 479.",
  "excludedScope": "Excluded are hazardous-liquid safety (which the IUC says remains exclusively with PHMSA), hazardous-liquid permitting in 199 IAC chapter 13 and Iowa Code chapter 479B, damage prevention and one-call law, agricultural restoration chapter 9, railroad-crossing chapter 42, general procedure and filing chapters, permits/orders/forms, privately owned propane service, and federal or private incorporated text. Former 199 IAC chapter 12 is inventoried as repealed and is not searchable.",
  "applicabilityCaveat": "Applicability depends on IUC jurisdiction, public-utility or pipeline-company status, intrastate versus interstate status, the gas and facility involved, customer count, rate regulation, exemptions, federal preemption, waivers, permits, tariffs, and Commission orders. Iowa inspects interstate gas operators only as PHMSA's agent; federal authorities retain enforcement. Chapter 19 is limited to rate-regulated gas utilities except where another law or order extends a duty.",
  "incorporationCaveat": "The rules incorporate or reference 49 CFR Parts 191, 192, 193, and 199; ASME B31.8-2022; NFPA 59-2024, NFPA 54-2024, and NFPA 501A-2021; other Iowa rules and statutes; federal forms and interpretations; and utility tariffs. The connector records citations but does not reproduce incorporated federal or private material, decide which edition controls beyond the state text, or grant rights in private standards.",
  "publicationCaveat": "The current IAC chapter listings dated August 5, 2026 are used to prove chapter and rule inventory; their official PDF and DOCX-formatted 'RTF' artifacts are archived independently. The official 2026 Iowa Code was published December 22, 2025. The live 2026 Code & Acts Sections Amended report is provisional; signed HF 2799 sections 23 and 24, effective July 1, 2026, are preserved as overlays to selected sections 476.1B and 476.2. Any unexpected selected-section amendment causes refresh failure.",
  "rights": "Iowa legal text and other government edicts are preserved with official attribution and cryptographic provenance. Public access does not grant rights in agency seals, website presentation, forms, utility filings, incorporated federal compilations, or privately authored standards; redistribution of those materials requires a separate rights review.",
