Bill overview
This bill would permit pipeline operators to use a more targeted inspection method, called risk-based inspections, for in-service breakout tanks. Currently, these tanks are subject to standard inspections, but this change would allow operators to focus their efforts on areas with the highest potential risk. The bill directs the Department of Transportation to update regulations to formally recognize and implement this risk-based approach. This aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of pipeline safety inspections.
