| Abstract: |
The Federal Regulatory picture becomes more complex as time passes. The Congress is requiring that more and more areas of safety be addressed, either by way of studies and evaluation or regulations. The OPS seems to be bogging down under the load and regulatory system. When OPS was established in 1968, a regulation normally took about 9 months to a year from notice to final rule. The entire basic set of Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Regulations was developed and published in less than two years. Today, there are proposed regulations on the agenda that have been in the process since early 1987 and early 1989, and the NPRM has not even been published. It is unfortunate, but the "system" seems not to be working, at least not working well.
This presentation will review the posture of the Congress regarding pipeline safety, with past and pending
activities; OPS regulatory activities; and what the future holds, including certain areas of new and existing
technology. I'll focus primarily on those areas that will impact on/or relate to the evaluation and operation of
existing pipeline systems. |
