This notice is announcing a public workshop to be held on the concept of ``Hazard Liquid Integrity Verification Process (HL IVP).'' The HL IVP is to confirm the Maximum Operating Pressure when pipeline records are not traceable, verifiable, or complete. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) held a similar workshop in August 2013 on the Integrity Verification Process for gas transmission pipelines to help address several mandates in the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 and National Transportation Safety Board recommendations. At this one day workshop, PHMSA will present the latest information for a proposal for HL IVP and have presentations of perspectives from pipeline operators, state regulatory partners, and the public. Earlier draft material provided to stakeholders along with comments in response from the American Petroleum Institute and the Association of Oil Pipelines are available via the same docket for this workshop.
