SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA is correcting the proposed rule titled
``Pipeline Safety Adjustment to OPID Notifications for Construction''
that published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2026.\1\ The first
paragraph in section I (General Discussion) of the proposed rule
correctly described PHMSA's intention to increase existing 49 CFR
191.22(c) monetary thresholds for operator notifications to PHMSA
regarding certain construction activity on gas pipeline facilities to
account for inflation since the introduction of those thresholds. That
paragraph explained that PHMSA was proposing to increase the monetary
threshold at Sec. 191.22(c)(1)(i) for notification of replacement or
modification of any existing gas pipeline facility from the current
minimum of $10 million to $20 million, as well to increase the monetary
threshold at Sec. 191.22(c)(1)(iv) for certain maintenance tasks on
underground natural gas storage facilities from the current $200,000
minimum to $300,000.\2\ However, the proposed rule elsewhere
(specifically, in section II.J (Paperwork Reduction Act) and the
amendatory regulatory text for Sec. 191.22(c)(1)(i) and (iv))
erroneously identified lower monetary thresholds of $15 million and
$250,000, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 91 FR 22091.
\2\ PHMSA also proposed procedural machinery for subsequent
annual adjustment for inflation of each of the new threshold values.
