Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 90. Popular Title: Rupture Detection and Valves Rule RIN 2137-AF06 Stage: NPRM none Previous Stage: Abstract: This rule would propose installation of automatic shutoff valves, remote controlled valves, or equivalent technology and establish performance based meaningful metrics for rupture detection for gas and liquid transmission pipelines. The overall intent is that rupture detection metrics will be integrated with ASV and RCV placement with the objective of improving overall incident response. Rupture response metrics would focus on mitigating large, unsafe, uncontrolled release events that have a greater potential consequence. The areas proposed to be covered include High Consequence Areas (HCA) for hazardous liquids and HCA, Class 3 and 4 for natural gas (including could affect areas). Effects: Prompting action: Statute Rulemaking Project Initiated: 11/21/2013 Docket Number: Dates for NPRM: Citation for NPRM: None Federal Register
