SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PHMSA received a special permit request from DTM, a subsidiary of
DT Midstream, Inc., on July 14, 2023, seeking a waiver from the Federal
pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR 192.625(b), which requires a gas
transmission pipeline to be odorized in a Class 3 or a Class 4
location.
The proposed special permit would allow DTM to operate the W10-28
and Shelby 2 Pipelines without odorization. The W10-28 and Shelby 2
Pipelines are 20-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipelines, 7.3
miles in length, located in Macomb County, Michigan. The maximum
allowable operating pressure for the W10-28 and Shelby 2 Pipelines is
2,160 pounds per square inch gauge.
The special permit request, proposed special permit with
conditions, and draft environmental assessment (DEA) for the above
listed DTM pipeline segments are available for review and public
comment in Docket Number PHMSA 2023-0071. PHMSA invites interested
persons to review and submit comments on the special permit request,
proposed special permit with conditions, and DEA in the docket. Please
submit comments on any potential safety, environmental, or other
relevant consideration implicated by the special permit request.
Comments may include relevant data.
Before issuing a decision on the special permit request, PHMSA will
evaluate all comments received on or before the comments closing date.
Comments received after the closing date will be evaluated if it is
possible to do so without incurring additional expense or delay. PHMSA
will consider each relevant comment it receives in making its decision
to grant or deny this special permit request.
Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
1.97.
Alan K. Mayberry,
Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
