OSTI ID:5540331

The Committee on Energy and Commerce report on H.R. 2090 is favorable, with certain amendments, toward amending the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 and the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act of 1979. The amendments encourage joint administration of certain sections, change state grants-in-aid and fund allocations, alter the accident reporting requirements, and propose a user fee. The report reviews the intent and effects of the earlier safety laws and summarizes committee oversight findings of unaccounted for gas due to leakage, the potential for inequities in fund allocations, and the need for a better data collection system for the National Transportation Safety Board. The bill authorizes $7.9 million for fiscal year 1986 and details state certification and agreements under the two Acts.
