Abstract: Safety is the requirement. The Federal Law covering that requirement is DOT. Prior to the enactment of DOT, the gas Industry had already developed B31.8, the culmination of work dating back to the 1920s, And while B31.8 was voluntary, its existence, plus the fact that by far most of the Industry voluntarily complied, plus the fact also that DOT is essentially B31.8, is mute testimony to the remarkable safety record the gas industry had achieved by the time in August of 1968 government felt it expedient to begin actively taking over. The Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act was enacted August 12, 1968. It required the Secretary of Transportation to adopt existing state safety standards temporarily, and allowed 24 months for establishing minimum federal safety standards.
