Guidance on Implementing Corrosion Control Methodologies to Align with New PHMSA Regulatory Procedures

This Guide provides guidance for United States pipeline operators to assist with the implementation of corrosion control methodology requirements for onshore gas transmission as required in Part 2 of the PHMSA Gas Mega Rule. This Guide can also be used by pipeline operators in other countries as guidance.

Pipeline operators desired an industry consensus document to guide operators on how to implement the new regulations. In addition to providing guidance on corrosion control, this Guide also addresses some operations, maintenance, and integrity management sections of the PHMSA Gas Mega Rule. Since operators need to incorporate the RIN 2 requirements into systems, processes, and procedures to ensure compliance, this AMPP Guide recommends procedures to comply with the new corrosion requirements using proven tools and techniques to safely monitor and protect Operators’ assets.
