Practical Guidance for Natural Gas Gathering Line Operators

Determining the type of a natural gas gathering line can be complex. That classification affects which federal pipeline safety requirements apply.

The Gathering Guidance is part of the Guide for Gas Transmission, Distribution, and Gathering Piping Systems. It brings the guidance related to 49 CFR 192.8 and 192.9 together in one focused resource. It helps operators:

• Determine whether a gathering line is Type A, Type B, Type C, or Type R

• Understand the requirements applicable to each gathering line type

• Apply the classification criteria in 49 CFR 192.8

• Identify the safety requirements established by 49 CFR 192.9

This practical resource gives operators a clearer path through gathering line classification and compliance.
