SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 24, 2026, PHMSA published a DFR titled ``Pipeline Safety: Standards Update--NFPA 58'' (91 FR 21986). The DFR amended regulations at 49 CFR part 192 to incorporate the 2024 edition of NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code (NFPA 58) by reference. Reference to the 2024 edition of NFPA 58 will replace the existing reference within 49 CFR 192.11 to NFPA, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, 2020 edition, effective August 25, 2019.

In accordance with those procedures, PHMSA stated in the DFR that if no adverse comments were received, the DFR would become effective on January 1, 2027.
