API RP 1174

Abstract

This Recommended Practice (RP) provides to operators of onshore hazardous liquid pipelines a framework that promotes the continual improvement of emergency planning and response processes, including identification and mitigation of associated risks and implementation of changes from lessons learned. <br>This RP assists the operator in preparing for a safe, timely, and effective response to a pipeline emergency. This RP applies to assets under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), specifically U.S. Title <em>49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR</em>) Parts 194 and 195. Operators of non-DOT jurisdictional pipelines or tank assets could make voluntary use of this document. <br>This RP is not intended to apply to the following: <br>a) post-response environmental remediation, <br>b) exploration and production operations, <br>c) offshore hazardous liquid pipeline operations, <br>d) facility piping, or <br>e) natural gas transmission and distribution pipeline operations.
