Comment from Pipeline Safety Trust

Summary: The Pipeline Safety Trust, a nonprofit watchdog organization, opposes the proposed extension of the rupture-mitigation valve (RMV) operability deadline from 14 to 90 days. They argue that the proposal is based on unsubstantiated industry claims, lacks sufficient data analysis, and poses a significant risk to public safety by delaying the activation of critical safety mechanisms during the high-risk initial period of pipeline operation.
