Determining Gas Gathering Pipeline Regulatory Categories
A 2021 revision to 49 CFR § 192.8 requires pipeline operators to document the determination process, beginning and end points, and types for all gas gathering lines. For existing lines, these records must be in place by November 16, 2022. Most gathering line operators will be affected by this new requirement. Our flowchart provides a clear visual map for categorizing onshore gas gathering pipelines and a comprehensive look at the safety requirements for each category.

Do you understand the regulatory requirements you need to follow after the 2021 revisions to 49 CFR Parts 191 and 192? If you are an operator of existing gas gathering lines that become classified as Type C because of the new rule, you must comply with the new requirements by May 16, 2023. If you need help defining and documenting gathering line extents and types, filing incident or annual reports, updating OM&E manuals, complying with the requirements for newly designated Type C lines, or submitting requests for deadline extensions, please feel free to contact the experts at HT Engineering.
