The State Fire Marshal shall adopt hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations in compliance with the federal law relating to hazardous liquid pipeline safety, including, but not limited to, compliance orders, penalties, and inspection and maintenance provisions, and including amendments to those laws and regulations which may be hereafter enacted and adopted. Regulations adopting the minimum standards for hazardous liquid pipelines contained in the Federal Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act, 49 U.S.C. Sec. 2001 et seq., and Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, by the State Fire Marshal are exempt from the procedures specified in Article 5 (commencing with Section 11346) of Chapter 3.5 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, except that those regulations shall be submitted to the Office of Administrative Law for filing with the Secretary of State and publication in the California Code of Regulations.
The State Fire Marshal may exempt the application of regulations adopted pursuant to this section to any pipeline, or portion thereof, when it is determined that the risk to public safety is slight and the probability of injury or damage remote.
Notification of exemptions shall be written, and shall include a discussion of those factors which the State Fire Marshal considers significant to the granting of the exemption.
(Amended by Stats. 1991, Ch. 395, Sec. 1.)
