The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) supports the proposed rulemaking to clarify and codify the regulatory boundaries for in-plant piping systems. They argue that aligning gas in-plant piping with the existing hazardous liquid framework will reduce regulatory overlap with OSHA, eliminate jurisdictional ambiguities, and decrease compliance burdens for operators.

The Williams Companies supports the proposed definition of in-plant piping systems but recommends three specific revisions to clarify jurisdictional boundaries and terminology. They argue that the current language could inadvertently expand PHMSA jurisdiction over equipment already regulated under other standards and propose more precise language regarding "pressure isolation devices" and plant boundaries.
