The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is proposing to amend its regulations at 18 CFR 284.12 to incorporate by reference the latest version (Version 2.0) of business practice standards adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) applicable to natural gas pipelines.\1\ The Commission also proposes to provide guidance on the standards the Commission applies to requests for waivers or extensions of time to comply with NAESB Standards. These standards can be obtained from NAESB at 1301 Fannin, Suite 2350, Houston, TX 77002, telephone: (713) 356- 0060, http://www.naesb.org, and are available for viewing in the Commission's Public Reference Room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the authority delegated by 18 CFR 375.308(x)(1), the Director of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP) computes and publishes the project cost and annual limits for natural gas pipelines blanket construction certificates for each calendar year.
On August 25, 2011, (76 FR 53086) PHMSA published in the Federal Register an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) titled: ``Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines'' seeking comments on the need for changes to the regulations covering gas transmission pipelines. PHMSA has received requests to extend the comment period in order to have more time to evaluate the ANPRM. PHMSA is extending the comment period from December 2, 2011, to January 20, 2012.
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Recent gas explosions in Pennsylvania have spurred calls to speed up replacement of the commonwealth's 11,000 miles of aging gas pipelines, but disagreements among legislators, regulators and company officials have left the state lagging behind others in the effort, a newspaper said. State lawmakers have repeatedly rejected measures to allow utilities to charge a special fee to pay for pipeline replacement. As a result, companies such as UGI Corp. have pursued their own plans to replace old pipe over a span of decades.
The 8,500 miles of gas pipeline running under Pennsylvania could quadruple within the next two decades, according to a forthcoming study, raising questions about how the work will affect forests, wildlife and even the suburbs around Pittsburgh. Increased shale gas drilling in Pennsylvania could require between 10,000 and 25,000 miles of new pipe, according to researchers led by the Nature Conservancy. They studied pipe laying in Bradford County, the state's most drilled county in the Marcellus shale.
