Final Rule - Pipeline Safety:
Areas Unusually Sensitive to Environmental Damage

Document Type: Federal Register Notice
Project: Integrity Management
Document Name: Final Rule - Pipeline Safety: Areas Unusually Sensitive to Environmental Damage
Document Date: 12/19/2000
Summary: Federal Register Notice announcing final rule that defines drinking water and ecological areas that are unusually sensitive to environmental damage if there is a hazardous liquid pipeline release. These areas are referred to as unusually sensitive areas (USAs). RSPA created this definition through a series of public workshops, pilot testing, a technical review of the pilot test results, and extensive collaboration with a wide-range of federal, state, public, and industry stakeholders. This final rule does not require specific action by pipeline operators but will be used in existing and future regulations.
