What the agency says
PHMSA proposes to revise the definition of property damage for determining when a release from a gas, hazardous liquid, or carbon dioxide pipeline facility meets the definition of a reportable incident or accident, including for immediate notifications to the National Response Center. This NPRM addresses comments received in response to a now-withdrawn direct final rule covering the same topic.
