The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration on Feb. 2 delivered a proposed rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget focused on improving the safety of carbon dioxide pipelines. OMB review marks a final stage before a proposed rule is released for public comment.&nbsp;Specifically, the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) is expected to amend PHSMA’s pipeline safety regulations&nbsp;to adopt revisions that would enhance the safe transportation of carbon dioxide by pipelines to accommodate an anticipated increase in the number of carbon dioxide pipelines and volume of carbon dioxide transported. The NPRM is also expected to include requirements related to emergency preparedness and response for carbon dioxide.According to information published by the OMB, the NPRM is currently expected to be released for public comment in March. Additional information is available on the OMB <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202310&amp;RIN=2137-AF60">website</a>. &nbsp;
