Risk-Based Alternative to Pressure Testing Older Hazardous Liquid 
and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Rule; Correction

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a final rule published November 4, 1998 
(63 FR 59475). This final rule allows operators of older hazardous 
liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines to elect a risk-based alternative 
in lieu of the existing hydrostatic pressure test rule. This document 
makes a minor correction by removing an unrelated sentence that

[[Page 6815]]

inadvertently appeared in Table 4 of the Appendix B.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 11, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Israni, (202) 366-4571, or e-
mail: mike.israni@rspa.dot.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When RSPA published the final rule in the 
Federal Register, it inadvertently included an unrelated sentence 
``This section has been revised to include reference to ANSI/NFPA 59A 
in paragraph (a) as follows:'' in the `Indicator' column of Table 4 in 
Appendix B. This document corrects the text in Table 4 of Appendix B by 
removing that sentence. RSPA regrets any confusion this erroneous 
sentence may have caused.
