SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2025 (90 FR 28057), PHMSA 
published a DFR amending its regulations at 49 CFR part 192 to 
incorporate by reference the 2023 edition of ASTM F2600, ``Standard 
Specification for Electrofusion Type Polyamide-11 Fittings for Outside 
Diameter Controlled Polyamide-11 Pipe and Tubing.'' Reference to the 
2023 version of the standard will replace the existing reference to 
ASTM F2600-09, ``Standard Specification for Electrofusion Type 
Polyamide-11 Fittings for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyamide-11 Pipe 
and Tubing,'' April 1, 2009, within Section I of Appendix B to 49 CFR 
part 192.
    PHMSA issued the DFR under the procedures set forth at 49 CFR 
190.339. In accordance with those provisions, PHMSA stated in the DFR 
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.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 30, 2025, under the 
authority designated in 49 CFR 1.97.
Benjamin D. Kochman,
Deputy Administrator.
