AGA files joint industry comments on PHMSA proposed Information Collections for Rupture Mitigation Valves (RMVs) and Hydrogen Blending
AGA filed comments (jointly with APGA, INGAA, API, GPA Midstream, AFPM, and LEPA) on June 24, 2024 on an information collection request by PHMSA regarding Rupture Mitigation Valves (RMVs) and hydrogen blending.
Among other things, the Associations recommended that:
(1) PHMSA should collect data on RMVs installed rather than mileage of pipeline protected by RMVs
(2) PHMSA should revise proposal to add hydrogen blends (of varying %) as new commodity types, and instead prompt operators to describe whether they are blending hydrogen, at what blend % (typically), and with a narrative description.
Full comments can be found on docket PHMSA-2022-0085.
