What’s Next After GPAC’s Second Meeting on LDAR
TOP 5 TAKEAWAYS:
- Comments were closed for LDAR as of April 29th.
- If you are an operator, let your company leadership know there is impending regulation coming and it will affect your operations. You may want to provide the voting slides from GPAC so they are aware of the possible changes.
- Do not go out and buy new equipment until this regulation comes out; some of the rulemaking language may change.
- Prepare for change. This will affect operation and maintenance, training, and possibly OQ for most operators.
- When will this be final? The best estimate after this last GPAC looks like December of 2024. Two dates that must be accounted for: the publication date of the FR and the effective date of the rule that will be spelled out in the initial part of the FR. Will need to review to see if PHMSA followed GPAC recommendations on implement.
