Adm. Code Parts 590 and 595: four minimum-safety and filing sections and four accident-or-incident reporting sections. JCAR's ordered part indexes are the completeness boundary. Part 596 is fully inventoried as adjacent inspection-disclosure procedure but is not searchable.", "excludedScope": "This is not all Illinois pipeline law. It excludes Part 596 disclosure procedure as searchable law; the Illinois Gas Pipeline Safety Act as standalone documents; utility service, personnel training, infrastructure surcharge, one-call, siting, ratemaking, docket, order, enforcement, form, inspection-record, local, and emergency-guidance material; underground-storage downhole regulation; hazardous-liquid safety; interstate facilities; and reproduced federal or private standards.", "applicability": "Applicability depends on the person, facility, transported commodity, activity, intrastate or interstate status, FERC and PHMSA jurisdiction, waivers, and each provision's terms. ICC describes its program as inspection and enforcement for intrastate natural-gas transmission, distribution, gathering, LNG, and LPG facilities meeting 49 CFR 192.1(5), while excluding interstate gas, hazardous-liquid facilities, and underground natural-gas-storage facilities. PHMSA separately states that Illinois certification covers intrastate gas; PHMSA retains interstate gas and both intrastate and interstate hazardous-liquid inspection and enforcement.", "incorporation": "Section 590.10 fixes incorporation of listed provisions in 49 CFR Parts 191, 192, 193, and 199 as of April 29, 2021, excludes 49 CFR 192.12, and expressly rejects later amendments or editions. Section 595.110 separately fixes its 49 CFR 191.3 incident definition as of January 1, 2011 and likewise rejects later amendments. Section 3 of the Illinois Gas Pipeline Safety Act directs the Commission to maintain rules at least as inclusive, stringent, and compatible with federal minimum standards from time to time; this connector records the current promulgated rule text and does not resolve that statutory interaction, reproduce incorporated federal text, or substitute current eCFR text.", "publication": "JCAR's English administrative-code publication identifies itself as official and authoritative and is controlling for this corpus. Retrieval time is publication observation, not a legal event. The ICC Part 590 page labels itself informational only and currently summarizes an older July 1, 2018 federal baseline, while current JCAR text uses April 29, 2021; the connector preserves and gates that publication lag. The ILCS database warns that updates are ongoing, so the statute artifact supports scope and authority but is not treated as a certified historical snapshot.", "rights": "Official Illinois and federal government pages are retained with attribution and SHA-256 provenance. ILGA displays an all-rights-reserved notice. Public access does not resolve rights in site presentation, seals, agency marks, forms, linked works, incorporated federal text, or private standards; downstream redistribution requires separate review." }, "region": "IL" } ```
