SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to the receipt of adverse comment, PHMSA
is withdrawing the DFR titled ``Integration of Innovative Remote
Sensing Technologies for Right-of-Way Patrols on Gas and Hazardous
Liquid Pipelines,'' which published on July 1, 2025 (90 FR 28105).
PHMSA stated in that DFR that if PHMSA received adverse comment by
September 2, 2025, the DFR would not take effect and PHMSA would
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. Because PHMSA
subsequently received adverse comment on that DFR, PHMSA is withdrawing
the DFR. In accordance with PHMSA's procedures at 49 CFR 190.339 for
direct final rulemaking, the Administrator may incorporate the adverse
comment into a subsequent DFR or may publish a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM). An NPRM would provide an opportunity for public
comment and will be processed in accordance with 49 CFR 190.311 through
190.329.
