Pipeline Safety: Adoption of Consensus Standards for Breakout 
Tanks; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects the effective date of the final rule 
published on April 2, 1999, to comply with requirements of the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996.

DATES: The effective date of the April 2, 1999 rule is corrected to 
July 28, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Huriaux, OPS, (202) 366-4595.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RSPA published a final rule in the Federal 
Register on April 2, 1999 (63 FR 15926) to incorporate by reference 
various consensus standards for aboveground steel storage tanks used in 
the transportation of hazardous liquids by pipeline. The final rule 
amended the hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations and specified 
an effective date of May 3, 1999. The Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 specifies that no rule can take effect 
until each house of Congress and the Comptroller General are provided a 
copy of the rule. A copy of this rule was not provided to these parties 
prior to publication of the final rule. Therefore the effective date 
for the final rule is now corrected to allow the final rule to be 
delivered to Congress and the Comptroller General. No other dates 
contained in the April 2, 1999 document are affected by publication of 
this document.

Correction of Publication

    In the Federal Register issue of April 2, 1999 (63 FR 15926) make 
the following correction. On page 15926, in the third column, under the 
caption ``DATES'', correct the first sentence to read: ``This final 
rule takes effect July 28, 1999. The incorporation by reference of 
certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of 
Federal Register July 28, 1999.''

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 19, 1999.

Administrator.
