The House Energy and Commerce Committee recommends passage of H.R. 4426, as amended, to authorize safety programs for pipeline. The amended bill authorizes $8.5 million for the Department of Transportation in 1987 and $8.6 million in 1988 to cover safety grants, reporting of unsafe conditions, and the issuance of safety regulations. The report provides background on the need for the legislation, summarizes committee hearings and other activities, and estimates the economic impact. A section-by-section analysis discusses major points on inspection and maintenance requirements for the pipeline transport of natural gas and other hazardous liquids.
