H.R. 2576 would change certain requirements applicable to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within the Department of Transportation regarding the publication of guidance and regulations. The bill would postpone, until 2015, the requirement that PHMSA only use publicly available technological standards that are free of charge in formulating certain safety regulations. The bill would also remove the requirement that the documents describing those technological standards be available on the Internet.
