Section 60102 of title 49, United States Code, is amended by striking subsection
(l)and inserting the following: Not less frequently than once every 4 years, or if an interested person otherwise petitions in accordance with section 190.331 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (or successor regulation), the Secretary shall review, and update as necessary, incorporated industry standards that have been adopted, either partially or in full, as part of the Federal pipeline safety regulatory program under this chapter that are modified and published by a standards development organization, as such term is defined in section 2(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993 ( 15 U.S.C. 4301(a) ). The Secretary may decline to adopt an industry standard that is inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable, including in circumstances where the use of an industry standard would not serve the needs of the Federal pipeline safety regulatory program, or would impose undue burdens. The Secretary shall— maintain a publicly available list of all industry standards considered for adoption under this chapter and the agency’s adjudication of each considered standard; include the reasoning for not adopting an industry standard, whether in full or in part, on the list under subparagraph (A); and submit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate such list not later than— 30 days after completion of such list; and 30 days after the date of any subsequent revisions to such list. Any industry standards incorporated by reference, or portions thereof, shall be made available by the entity that developed such standards free of charge for viewing on a publicly available website. . Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall— conduct a review to determine compliance with section 60102(l)(4) of title 49, United States Code; and submit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report on the review conducted under paragraph (1).
