Pipeline Safety Committee Gathers Virtually October 21

## Summary

The Liquid Pipeline Advisory Committee is meeting online on October 21, 2026, to talk about new safety rules for liquid pipelines, like inspecting tanks and maintaining valves. This affects pipeline companies and anyone who cares about safe liquid transport. You can join the meeting or send your thoughts by early October, with some deadlines stretching into November.

## Abstract

This notice announces a public meeting of the Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards Committee, also known as the Liquid Pipeline Advisory Committee (LPAC). The meeting will be held virtually to discuss the following notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRMs): "Breakout Tank Inspection," "Remote Monitoring ofHazardous Liquid PipelineRectifiers," and "Hazardous Liquid Valve Maintenance Schedule."

## Effects PRIA read

- Breakout Tank Inspection Updates: mixed, medium. If you operate hazardous liquid breakout tanks, PHMSA proposed updating 49 CFR part 195 to incorporate the 5th edition of API Std 653 (issued November 2014 with addenda and errata through July 2025) and to authorize use of risk-based inspection procedures to establish inspection intervals for in-se…
- Remote Electrical Checks Allowed: benefit, low. If you operate hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide pipelines, PHMSA proposed amendments clarifying that required electrical checks of rectifiers and other cathodic protection equipment may be performed remotely, consistent with standards previously adopted for gas transmission pipelines.
- Valve Inspection Interval Limit: cost, medium. If you operate hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide pipelines, PHMSA proposed that operators may determine a valve inspection schedule provided the maximum valve inspection interval is one year and does not exceed 15 months.
