Federal Pipeline Advisory Committee to Meet Virtually on Three Proposed Hazardous Liquid Safety Rules

The Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards Committee, also known as the Liquid Pipeline Advisory Committee (LPAC), will hold a public meeting virtually. The committee will discuss three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRMs) covering hazardous liquid pipeline infrastructure. The topics are separate from trucking regulations but concern another mode of hazardous liquids transport.

Key Points

  • The meeting is open to the public and will be held virtually.
  • The committee is the Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards Committee, also called the Liquid Pipeline Advisory Committee (LPAC).
  • One NPRM on the agenda is titled "Breakout Tank Inspection."
  • A second NPRM covers "Remote Monitoring of Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Rectifiers."
  • A third NPRM covers a "Hazardous Liquid Valve Maintenance Schedule."

Why It Matters

The proposed rules apply to hazardous liquid pipeline operators rather than motor carriers, but they affect the safety standards of a mode that also transports hazardous liquids.
