Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall evaluate the definition in section 192.5(b)(3)(ii) of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, and the definition of identified site in section 192.903 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, to determine the adequacy for protecting buildings and occupied outdoor facilities from pipeline safety incidents. In carrying out the evaluation under subsection (a), the Secretary shall consider— whether to revise the definition of the occupancy counts of these areas; whether consistency in minimum occupancy thresholds throughout part 192 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, would improve safety; and whether defining the occupancy counts in these areas as 20 or more persons on at least a total of 50 days within any 12-month period would improve— safety; and the efficiency of carrying out class determinations.
The Secretary shall issue such regulations as the Secretary determines necessary to modify the definitions in subsection
