Pipeline Safety: Breakout Tank Inspection Rule
Action: Review breakout tank inspection programs and consider commenting on the proposed API 653 and RBI changes.
PHMSA proposes to update the incorporated inspection standard for hazardous-liquid pipeline breakout tanks from API Standard 653, 3rd edition, to the 5th edition. The proposal would also allow operators to use risk-based inspection procedures to set inspection intervals for in-service breakout tanks.

Hazardous Materials: Streamlining Requirements for the Approval of Certain Energetic Materials
PHMSA amends the Hazardous Materials Regulations to streamline classification and approval procedures for certain low-hazard fireworks and to allow small arms cartridges with tracer ammunition to be self-classified under revised criteria. The rule also makes the PHMSA portal the exclusive submission method for explosives approval applications and allows approval holders to voluntarily terminate an explosives approval.
