SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 1998, RSPA issued a final rule [63 FR 5464] 
requiring operators of natural gas distribution systems to provide 
certain customers with information about excess flow valves (EFV's). In 
that final rule on page 5471 under Sec. 192.383(b)--Which customers 
must receive notification, in the first sentence the service line 
pressure of not less than 68.9 kPa (10 psig) was erroneously labeled 
``68.9 m (10 psig)''.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contains an error in metric units 
which may confuse and is in need of clarification.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 192
