Summary: The American Gas Association and the Northeast Gas Association support the proposed rulemaking to streamline and clarify coating damage assessment and remedial action timelines for gas transmission pipelines. They argue that the current framework is burdensome and advocate for linking timelines to in-service dates while requesting the restoration of specific "onshore steel transmission line" qualifiers to maintain the rule's intended scope.
Joint industry comments from the American Gas Association and Northeast Gas Association (the Associations) to the NPRM entitled "Pipeline Safety: Eliminating Burdensome and Duplicative Deadlines for Gas Pipeline Coating Damage Assessments and Remedial Actions".
