Key highlights of the proposed legislation involve finalizing the Class Location Rule, increasing Gas Pipeline Advisory Committee meetings, and establishing a working group to address regulatory issues related to Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure testing records.
With the advancement of proposals by the House Committees on Energy & Commerce and Transportation & Infrastructure, INGAA urges the U.S. House of Representatives to consolidate these efforts in a bipartisan manner. The goal is to swiftly approve a final pipeline safety reauthorization bill that prioritizes safety and addresses critical needs within the nation's pipeline system.
