{"abstract":"In the Federal Register of September 15, 2003, RSPA published a final rule concerning the operation and capacity of existing pressure limiting and regulating stations on gas pipelines. The rule inadvertently established a pressure limit that could require a reduction in the operating pressure of some pipelines and be impracticable for others to meet. This direct final rule establishes an appropriate pressure limit to avoid these unintended results.","action":"Direct final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Research and Special Programs Administration","name":"Research and Special Programs Administration","id":451,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/research-and-special-programs-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/451","parent_id":492,"slug":"research-and-special-programs-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2004/05/17/04-11005.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":192,"title":49}],"citation":"69 FR 27861","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2004-07-16","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This direct final rule goes into effect September 14, 2004.
