HR 5638 United States House · 118th Congress

Aldyl A Hazard Reduction and Community Safety Act

This bill requires gas pipeline operators to identify and remove Aldyl A polyethylene piping from high-risk areas. Specifically, pipeline owners must assess their systems for this piping within 1 year, report findings within 3 years, and remove it from pressurized locations in designated high-consequence areas (like densely populated zones or environmentally sensitive sites) within 5 years. The law mandates coordination with state regulators to minimize disruptions while prioritizing public safety and environmental protection. It directly affects gas pipeline operators managing facilities in class 1-4 locations and high-consequence areas as defined by federal law.
