Pipeline operators get more time to file annual safety reports

The US government has extended the deadline for gas pipeline and storage facility operators to submit their annual safety reports. These reports are now due on June 15, aligning with the existing deadline for hazardous liquid pipelines.

This change gives gas pipeline operators an extra five months to compile and submit their annual safety data. It means they have more time to prepare their reports, potentially reducing the administrative burden and the chance of late filings. The new deadline also standardizes reporting across different types of pipelines, which could simplify compliance for companies operating both gas and liquid lines.
