The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a notice in the Federal Register announcing its adoption of a categorical exclusion (CE) originally established by the Department of Energy (DOE) under NEPA. PHMSA intends to apply the DOE CE to a category of its own proposed actions, has consulted with DOE on the adoption, and describes how it will notify the public of its use. This is a procedural NEPA notice; no project-specific impacts, alternatives, or comment periods are identified.
