Pipeline Safety: Public Workshop on Hazardous Liquid Integrity
Verification Process
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is announcing a public workshop to be held on the
concept of ``Hazard Liquid Integrity Verification Process (HL IVP).''
The HL IVP is to confirm the Maximum Operating Pressure when pipeline
records are not traceable, verifiable, or complete. The Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) held a similar
workshop in August 2013 on the Integrity Verification Process for gas
transmission pipelines to help address several mandates in the Pipeline
Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 and National
Transportation Safety Board recommendations. At this one day workshop,
PHMSA will present the latest information for a proposal for HL IVP and
have presentations of perspectives from pipeline operators, state
regulatory partners, and the public. Earlier draft material provided to
stakeholders along with comments in response from the American
Petroleum Institute and the Association of Oil Pipelines are available
via the same docket for this workshop.
DATES: The public meeting will be held on Thursday, August 27, 2015.

Reagan National Airport, 1999 Jefferson Davis Highway Arlington, VA,
