Title: The Effect Of 49 Cfr Part 193 On LNG Plant Siting

Abstract: I believe it is safe to say that the Federal Safety Standards that were issued on February 11, 1980, as a result of the 1979 amendments to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act, have had a profound effect on the siting of the LNG plants in the United States. Facilities for which application had been made prior to March 1, 1978, or which were under construction before the Standards were issued were exempt from the new siting standards. These earlier plants conformed to the appropriate version of NFPA 59A in existence at the time. Since the new Federal Standards (Part 193) have been issued, there has been only one interstate facihty built and that is the peakshaving facility of Southwest Gas Corporation. There have been no import facilities built or planned. There are at least two new intrastate LNG peak-shaving plants that have been or are to be built and a number of intrastate plants that have been or are being expanded or modified.
