Abstract: The natural gas industry operates an extensive system of 2.4 million miles of distribution and transmission pipelines across the country to supply natural gas to more than 117 million customers. The design, construction, operation, inspection and maintenance of all operating pipelines are subjected to state and federal regulations. The Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) is the primary Federal Administration responsible for ensuring that the pipelines are safe, reliable, and environmentally sound. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 49, Parts 190-199 includes the rules to govern pipeline safety. Individual states may have additional pipeline safety regulations. In particular, Part 192 prescribes a wide variety of minimum safety requirements for gas pipelines. This regulation contains sections applicable to gas gathering, transmission and distribution.
