Risk-Based Alternative to Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid 
and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Rule; Correction

Agency

Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.

Action

Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 11, 1999.

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.
