Passage 1[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 28 (Thursday, February 11, 1999)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 6814-6815] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-3428] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Research and Special Programs Administration [Docket No. PS-144; Amendment 195-65] [RIN 2137-AC78] Risk-Based Alternative to Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Rule; Correction AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document corrects a final rule published November 4, 1998 (63 FR 59475). This final rule allows operators of older hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines to elect a risk-based alternative in lieu of the existing hydrostatic pressure test rule. This document makes a minor correction by removing an unrelated sentence that inadvertently appeared in Table 4 of the Appendix B. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Israni, (202) 366-4571, or e- mail: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When RSPA published the final rule in the Federal Register, it inadvertently included an unrelated sentence ``This section has been revised to include reference to ANSI/NFPA 59A in paragraph (a) as follows:'' in the `Indicator' column of Table 4 in Appendix B. This document corrects the text in Table 4 of Appendix B by removing that sentence. RSPA regrets any confusion this erroneous sentence may have caused. Accordingly, the publication on November 4, 1998, of the final rule, in the Federal Register (63 FR 59475) is corrected as follows: * * * * * On page 59482, in the Table 4, `Indicator' column is corrected to read as follows: * * * * *#
