Failure analyses, accident investigations, and recommendations of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board indicate that, in many cases, pipeline carriers of hazardous liquids have not followed proper procedures for handling normal operations and maintenance, abnormal operations and emergencies. The U.S. Materials Transportation Bureau (MTB) proposes to establish the essentials that the procedures must cover, as well as requirements for communications, training of personnel, and educating the public about the hazards involved, with emphasis on highly volatile commodities like LPG. Comments should be received by the MTB by 10/6/78; late filed comments will be considered as far as practicable.
