On Monday, the watchdog group Pipeline Safety Trust said it has “long opposed” extending the inspection intervals. “We don’t yet know whether PHMSA has paired the longer intervals with adequate safeguards,” said Bill Caram, the group’s executive director, in a statement. “On a first read the proposal sets hard caps on the intervals and keeps PHMSA’s enforcement authority intact, but it stops short of requiring the remote inspection we have previously recommended.” https://lnkd.in/gRjtEE-p
