SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2025 (90 FR 28068), PHMSA

incorporate by reference the 2023 edition of ASTM F2817, ``Standard

Fittings for Maintenance or Repair.'' References to the 2023 version of

that if no adverse comments were received, the DFR would become final
and effective on January 1, 2026. PHMSA did not receive any comments
that warranted withdrawal of the DFR; therefore, this rule will become
effective as scheduled.

authority designated in 49 CFR 1.97.
