Gas pipelines are associated with which part of the CFR?

Gas pipelines fall under Part 192 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which specifically pertains to the transportation of natural gas by pipeline. This section outlines the safety standards that pipeline operators must adhere to, including design, construction, operation, and maintenance of gas pipelines.

Part 191 is focused on the reporting requirements and incident reporting for gas and hazardous liquids, which is crucial for safety surveillance but does not govern the operational aspects of pipelines directly. Part 194 deals with oil spill response plans for pipelines, relevant mainly for liquid transportation, and Part 196 concerns the associated safety regulations for railroads and pipeline crossings, not specifically for gas pipelines. Thus, Part 192 is the appropriate section that directly addresses the regulatory framework for the safe handling and operation of gas pipelines.
