SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Discussion
Through this DFR, PHMSA is incorporating by reference an update to
a voluntary, consensus industry technical standard already incorporated
by reference within 49 CFR part 192. Specifically, PHMSA is updating
the referenced edition of industry standard ASTM F2767, Standard
Specification for Electrofusion Type Polyamide-12 Fittings for Outside
Diameter Controlled Polyamide-12 Pipe and Tubing for Gas Distribution,
to the approved 2024 edition (ASTM F2767).
ASTM F2767 presents the current state of knowledge and technology
applicable to PA12 electrofusion fittings for use with outside-
diameter-controlled PA12 pipe, as covered by ASTM F2785. The standard
also includes requirements for materials, workmanship, and testing
performance.
A reference to the 2024 version of the standard will replace the
existing reference within Appendix B to part 192 to ASTM F2767-
18(2023), ``Specification for Electrofusion Type Polyamide-12 Fittings
for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyamide-12 Pipe and Tubing for Gas
Distribution,'' November 1, 2023.\1\ While In parallel with updating in
August 2025 regulatory references to this standard to the 2023 edition,
PHMSA continued to review more recent editions of the standard for
potential incorporation in its regulations. Based on that technical
review, PHMSA now supports further updating the standard to the 2024
edition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ ``Periodic Safety: Standards Update--ASTM F2767,'' 90 FR
28090 (July 1, 2025) (effective Jan. 1, 2026). The current direct
final rule reflects the list of references as they will exist after
this effective date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This updated standard will maintain or improve public safety,
prevent regulatory confusion, and reduce compliance burdens on
stakeholders. The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
(NTTAA) of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 (note)) directs Federal agencies to,
``when practical and consistent with applicable laws, use technical
standards developed by voluntary consensus standard bodies instead of
government-developed technical standards.'' Consistent with that
mandate, PHMSA incorporates more than 80 industry standards by
reference into the Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations (49 CFR parts
190-199); however, many standards become outdated over time as new
editions become available. 49 U.S.C. 60102(l) directs PHMSA to update
incorporated industry standards.
Updating this standard ensures better alignment of PHMSA's
regulations with innovations in operational and management practices,
materials, testing, and technological advancements; enhances compliance
by avoiding conflict between different versions of the same industry
standards; and facilitates safety-focused allocation of resources by
pipeline operators. PHMSA technical experts have evaluated the changes
in the updated edition of ASTM F2767 and concluded it will either
maintain or enhance the protection of public safety. These updates
effectively mitigate safety gaps by incorporating innovations in
equipment design, operational and maintenance practices, and testing,
while addressing latent vulnerabilities that were historically
unidentifiable due to the technical limitations of legacy data-
gathering and monitoring capabilities. Indeed, PHMSA on July 1, 2025,
published a direct final rule updating the reference within part 192 to
the 2023 edition of this standard after preliminarily finding the
revisions in that edition enhanced pipeline safety (90 FR 28090);
PHMSA's evaluation of the handful of changes introduced in the standard
since 2023 yield a similar conclusion regarding their safety impact.
PHMSA further concludes that the direct final rule's updated standard
is technically feasible, reasonable, cost-effective, and practicable
because of its respective anticipated commercial and public safety
benefits; and because the benefits better support PHMSA's safety
[[Page 22002]]
priorities compared to alternatives, thereby justifying any associated
compliance costs.

II. Regulatory Analysis and Notices
A. Legal Authority
This direct final rule is published under the authority of the
Secretary of Transportation set forth in the Federal Pipeline Safety
Laws (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.) and delegated to the PHMSA Administrator
pursuant to 49 CFR 1.97. PHMSA has determined that this direct final
rule--which updates an industry standard already incorporated by
reference into its regulations--is unlikely to elicit significant
adverse comment. See 49 U.S.C. 60102(b)(6)(A). PHMSA similarly finds
that publication of a proposed rulemaking on which comment is solicited
would be ``unnecessary'' pursuant to section 553(b)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.) because this
rulemaking merely adopts an updated version of an industry standard
reflecting a broad consensus among affected industry stakeholders.
B. Executive Order 12866
E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as implemented by DOT
Order 2100.6B (``Policies and Procedures for Rulemaking'') and DOT
Order 2100.7 (``Ensuring Reliance upon Sound Economic Analysis in
Department of Transportation Policies, Programs, and Activities''),
requires agencies to regulate in the ``most cost-effective manner,'' to
make a ``reasoned determination that the benefits of the intended
regulation justify its costs,'' and to develop regulations that
``impose the least burden on society.'' In arriving at those
conclusions, E.O. 12866 requires that agencies should consider ``both
quantifiable measures . . . and qualitative measures of costs and
benefits that are difficult to quantify'' and ``maximize net benefits .
. . unless a statute requires another regulatory approach.'' E.O. 12866
also requires that ``agencies should assess all costs and benefits of
available regulatory alternatives, including the alternative of not
regulating.'' DOT Order 2100.6B directs that PHMSA and other Operating
Administrations must generally choose the ``least costly regulatory
alternative that achieves the relevant objectives'' unless required by
law or compelling safety need. DOT Order 2100.6B also specifies that
regulations should generally ``not be issued unless their benefits are
expected to exceed their costs'' except where required by law or
compelling safety need. DOT Order 2100.7 requires that ``all rulemaking
activities shall be based on sound economic principles and analysis
supported by rigorous cost-benefit requirement.''
E.O. 12866 and DOT Order 2100.6B also require that PHMSA submit
``significant regulatory actions'' to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the
President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This
final rule is a not significant regulatory action pursuant to E.O.
12866; OMB also has not designated this rule as a ``major rule'' as
defined by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.).
PHMSA has complied with the procedural and analytical requirements
in E.O. 12866 as implemented by DOT Order 2100.6B and DOT Order 2100.7
and determined that this direct final rule may result in minimal cost
savings by reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty for
pipeline facility operators. In general, updates to consensus industry
standards are widely accepted and followed on a voluntary basis
throughout most of the pipeline industry. PHMSA understands that most
pipeline operators already purchase and voluntarily apply industry
standards--including the updated standard that is the subject of this
rulemaking--within their ordinary business practices. Incorporation of
the updated version of the standard referenced in this direct final
rule will help ensure that the industry is not
[[Page 22003]]
forced to incur the additional cost of complying with different
versions of the same standard. The cost savings of this rulemaking
could not be quantified.
Updating to a more recent edition of the industry standard will
ensure better alignment of PHMSA's regulations with innovations in
operational and maintenance practices, equipment design, and testing.
These updates address known safety risks, encourage facilities to
invest in safety enhancing innovations, and improve public safety.
C. Executive Orders 14192 and Executive Order 14219
This direct final rule is considered a deregulatory action pursuant
to E.O. 14192, Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation. PHMSA
estimates that the total costs of the direct final rule on the
regulated community will be less than zero. Nor do the regulatory
amendments herein implicate any of the factors identified in section
2(a) of E.O. 14219, Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the
President's ``Department of Government Efficiency'' Deregulatory
Initiative, indicative that a regulation is ``unlawful . . . [or] that
undermine[s] the national interest.''
D. Energy-Related Executive Orders 13211, 14154, and 14156
The President has declared in E.O. 14156, Declaring a National
Energy Emergency, a National emergency to address inadequate U.S.
energy development production, transportation, refining, and generation
capacity. Similarly, E.O. 14154, Unleashing American Energy, asserts a
Federal policy to unleash American energy by ensuing access to abundant
supplies of reliable, affordable energy from (inter alia) the removal
of ``undue burden[s]'' on the identification, development, or use of
domestic energy resources such as PHMSA-jurisdictional gasses and
hazardous liquids. PHMSA finds this direct final rule is consistent
with each of E.O. 14156 and E.O. 14154. The direct final rule will give
affected pipeline operators the benefit of using the updated standard
to maintain or improve public safety, prevent regulatory confusion, and
reduce compliance burdens on stakeholders. PHMSA therefore expects the
regulatory amendments in this direct final rule will in turn increase
national pipeline transportation capacity and improve pipeline
operators' ability to provide abundant, reliable, affordable natural
gas in response to residential, commercial, and industrial demand.
However, this direct final rule is not a ``significant energy
action'' under E.O. 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use, which
requires Federal agencies to prepare a Statement of Energy Effects for
any ``significant energy action.'' Because this direct final rule is
not a significant action under E.O. 12866, it will not have a
significant adverse effect on supply, distribution, or energy use.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
PHMSA analyzed this direct final rule in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in E.O. 13132, Federalism, and the
Presidential Memorandum (``Preemption'') published in the Federal
Register on May 22, 2009. E.O. 13132 requires agencies to assure
meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that may have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the National
Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
While the direct final rule may operate to preempt some State
requirements, it will not impose any regulation that has substantial
direct effects on the States, the relationship between the National
Government and the States, or the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Section
60104(c) of the Federal Pipeline Safety Laws prohibits certain State
safety regulation of interstate pipelines. Under the Federal Pipeline
Safety Laws, States that have submitted a current certification under
section 60105(a) can augment Federal pipeline safety requirements for
intrastate pipelines regulated by PHMSA but may not approve safety
requirements less stringent than those required by Federal law. A State
may also regulate an intrastate pipeline facility that PHMSA does not
regulate. The preemptive effect of the regulatory amendments in this
direct final rule is limited to the minimum level necessary to achieve
the objectives of the Federal Pipeline Safety Laws. Therefore, the
consultation and funding requirements of E.O. 13132 do not apply.
F. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires
Federal agencies to conduct a Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
(FRFA) for a final rule subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking,
unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The RFA
applies only to rules for which an agency is required to first publish
a proposed rule (see 5 U.S.C. 603(a) and 604(a)). PHMSA is not required
to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this DFR, so the RFA
does not apply. However, PHMSA expects no affected operators will face
significant costs because the referenced standard is widely available
for purchase at relatively low cost, most operators are already in
compliance with the content of the referenced standard, and compliance
costs for any remaining operators are expected to be negligible.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)
requires agencies to assess the effects of Federal regulatory actions
on State, local, and Tribal governments, and the private sector. For
any proposed or direct final rule that includes a Federal mandate that
may result in the expenditure by State, local, and Tribal governments,
in the aggregate of $100 million or more in 1996 dollars ($203 million
in 2024 dollars) in any given year, the agency must prepare, amongst
other things, a written statement that qualitatively and quantitatively
assesses the costs and benefits of the Federal mandate.
This direct final rule does not impose unfunded mandates under UMRA
because it does not result in costs of $100 million or more (in 1996
dollars) per year for either State, local, or Tribal governments, or to
the private sector.
H. National Environmental Policy Act
PHMSA has analyzed this rule pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and has determined it is
categorically excluded under 23 CFR 771.117(c)(20), which applies to
the promulgation of rules, regulations, and directives. Under section 9
of DOT Order 5610.1D (``DOT's Procedures for Considering Environmental
Impacts''), PHMSA may apply a categorical exclusion established in
another Operating Administration's procedures. PHMSA followed the
requirements outlined in DOT Order 5610.1D to apply a categorical
exclusion issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to this
deregulatory action. PHMSA does not anticipate any adverse
environmental impacts from this rule, and PHMSA has determined no
unusual circumstances are present under 23 CFR 771.117(b). PHMSA's
Categorical Exclusion Determination memo for this
[[Page 22004]]
action is available on PHMSA's website.\2\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Executive Order 13175
PHMSA analyzed this direct final rule according to the principles
and criteria in E.O. 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian
Tribal Governments, and DOT Order 5301.1A (``Department of
Transportation Tribal Consultation Policies and Procedures''). E.O.
13175 requires agencies to assure meaningful and timely input from
Tribal government representatives in the development of rules that
significantly or uniquely affect Tribal communities by imposing
``substantial direct compliance costs'' or ``substantial direct
effects'' on such communities or the relationship or distribution of
power between the Federal Government and Tribes.
PHMSA assessed the impact of the direct final rule and determined
that it will not significantly or uniquely affect Tribal communities or
Indian Tribal governments. The rulemaking's regulatory amendments have
a broad, national scope; therefore, this direct final rule will not
significantly or uniquely affect Tribal communities, much less impose
substantial compliance costs on Native American Tribal governments or
mandate Tribal action. For these reasons, PHMSA has concluded that the
funding and consultation requirements of E.O. 13175 and DOT Order
5301.1A do not apply.
J. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations at 5 CFR 1320.8(d) requires that PHMSA provide
interested members of the public and affected agencies with an
opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping
requests. This rulemaking will not create, amend, or rescind any
existing information collections.
K. Executive Order 13609 and International Trade Analysis
E.O. 13609, Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation,
requires agencies to consider whether the impacts associated with
significant variations between domestic and international regulatory
approaches are unnecessary or may impair the ability of American
business to export and compete internationally. In meeting shared
challenges involving health, safety, labor, security, environmental,
and other issues, international regulatory cooperation can identify
approaches that are at least as protective as those that are or would
be adopted in the absence of such cooperation. International regulatory
cooperation can also reduce, eliminate, or prevent unnecessary
differences in regulatory requirements.
Similarly, the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39), as
amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Pub. L. 103-465),
prohibits Federal agencies from establishing any standards or engaging
in related activities that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign
commerce of the United States. For purposes of these requirements,
Federal agencies may participate in the establishment of international
standards, so long as the standards have a legitimate domestic
objective, such as providing for safety, and do not operate to exclude
imports that meet this objective. The statute also requires
consideration of international standards and, where appropriate, that
they be the basis for U.S. standards.
PHMSA engages with international standards setting bodies to
protect the safety of the American public. PHMSA has assessed the
effects of the direct final rule and has determined that its regulatory
amendments will not cause unnecessary obstacles to foreign trade.
L. Cybersecurity and Executive Order 14028
E.O. 14028, Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, directed the
Federal Government to improve its efforts to identify, deter, and
respond to ``persistent and increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber
campaigns.'' PHMSA has considered the effects of the direct final rule
and has determined that its regulatory amendments will not materially
affect the cybersecurity risk profile for pipeline facilities.
