Typo Fix Clarifies MAOP Reconfirmation Rule
This rule corrects a numbering typo in 49 CFR 192.624(c)(6) by redesignating the duplicate paragraph (c)(6)(vii) as paragraph (c)(6)(viii). Operators of onshore steel transmission pipelines that use the alternative technical evaluation process to establish MAOP must follow the corrected list, and the correction takes effect on August 3, 2026. The agency states this is editorial only and does not add new costs, deadlines, or requirements.
