Summary
Narrows the federal definition of 'transporting gas'. This bill would redraw what counts as transporting gas in title 49 by carving out certain rural gathering activities and specific plant piping and short transfer lines.
Show full summary
- Plant owners and operators: Gas moved for plant use as fuel or feedstock through in-plant piping located entirely on plant grounds would be excluded. Transfer piping that runs less than 1 mile offsite would also be excluded.
- Rural gatherers: Gathering gas in rural areas outside populated areas that the Secretary has not designated as nonrural would be excluded from the transporting gas definition, except when it moves through regulated gathering lines.
- Federal regulators and pipeline scope: The bill would shrink which flows and systems are treated as "transporting gas" under title 49, changing which pipelines and plant systems fall under federal transport rules.

Fewer gas rules for plant owners
This bill would exclude some on-site gas moves from the federal "transporting gas" definition. It would also exclude gathering in rural areas outside places the Secretary designates as nonrural. That rural exclusion would not apply to gathering done through regulated gathering lines. It would exclude gas a plant owner or operator moves for fuel, feedstock, or other plant uses when the piping is entirely on plant grounds. It would also apply when transfer piping extends less than 1 mile off plant grounds. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
