(b) In determining the adequacy of any such plan, the commissioner shall consider the following:
(1) relevant available pipeline safety data;
(2) whether the plan is appropriate for the particular type of pipeline transportation;
(3) the reasonableness of the plan; and
(4) the extent to which such plan will contribute to public safety.
