Bill > S2971

This bill, known as the "Plant Safety Authorities Coordination Act of 2025," amends the definition of "transporting gas" in title 49 of the United States Code to provide more specific guidelines about gas movement within and near industrial plants. The bill clarifies that the term "transporting gas" does not include certain gas movements by plant owners or operators, specifically: gathering gas in rural areas outside populated regions, and moving gas within a plant for purposes like fuel or feedstock through in-plant piping systems located entirely on plant grounds, or through transfer piping systems that extend less than one mile outside the plant's grounds. This modification aims to provide more precise regulatory definitions for gas transportation, potentially reducing administrative burdens on industrial facilities while maintaining safety standards. The changes help distinguish between regulated gas transportation and internal plant gas movements that are essential to operational processes.
