WASHINGTON, April 24 -- Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has issued a proposed rule called: Pipeline Safety: Integration of Innovative Remote Sensing Technologies for Right-of-Way Patrols on Gas and Hazardous Liquid Pipelines.
The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on April 24 by Paul J. Roberti, Administrator.
Summary: PHMSA proposes to clarify that right-of-way patrol requirements are technology neutral, and that operators can use remote sensing technologies, such as unmanned aerial systems and satellites, for complying with gas transmission, hazardous liquid, and carbon dioxide pipeline rights-of-way patrolling requirements.
