Abstract: On August 12, 1968, the Natural Gas Safety Act became effective. It required the Secretary of Transportation to establish minimum federal safety standards within 24 months. Therefore, in August 1970, the Office of Pipeline Safety issued the federal regulations, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipelines: Minimum Safety Standards, to become effective on November 12, 1970. For many years the safety standard of the gas industry was the ANSI B31.8 Code. The issuance of the federal standard effectively preempted the existing code and it appeared that the work of the B31.8 Code Committee was finished. Many people in the industry were concerned that the expertise and experience of this group would be lost. However. it soon became apparent that the intent of OPS was to provide performance standards rather than detailed specifications.
