Passage 2SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA is correcting the proposed rule titled ``Pipeline Safety Adjustment to OPID Notifications for Construction'' that published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2026.\1\ The first paragraph in section I (General Discussion) of the proposed rule correctly described PHMSA's intention to increase existing 49 CFR 191.22(c) monetary thresholds for operator notifications to PHMSA regarding certain construction activity on gas pipeline facilities to account for inflation since the introduction of those thresholds. That paragraph explained that PHMSA was proposing to increase the monetary threshold at Sec. 191.22(c)(1)(i) for notification of replacement or modification of any existing gas pipeline facility from the current minimum of $10 million to $20 million, as well to increase the monetary threshold at Sec. 191.22(c)(1)(iv) for certain maintenance tasks on underground natural gas storage facilities from the current $200,000 minimum to $300,000.\2\ However, the proposed rule elsewhere (specifically, in section II.J (Paperwork Reduction Act) and the amendatory regulatory text for Sec. 191.22(c)(1)(i) and (iv)) erroneously identified lower monetary thresholds of $15 million and $250,000, respectively. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 91 FR 22091. \2\ PHMSA also proposed procedural machinery for subsequent annual adjustment for inflation of each of the new threshold values. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In proposed rule FR Doc. 2026-08082, beginning on page 22091 in the issue of April 24, 2026, make the following corrections: 0 1. On page 22094, in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, in the second column, in the second sentence in Section J. Paperwork Reduction Act, correct ``$15 million'' to read ``$20 million'' and correct ``$250,000'' to read ``$300,000''. 0 2. On page 22095, in Sec. 191.22, in the second column, in paragraph (c)(1)(i), correct ``$15 million'' to read ``$20 million'', and in the third column, in paragraph (c)(1)(iv), correct ``$250,000'' to read ``$300,000''.
