On Aug. 4, 2026, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration published 16 final rules, HM-268A through HM-268P, in the Federal Register. Most took effect Sept. 3, 2026. Fourteen of the 16 did. One took effect Aug. 19 and one, HM-268E, takes effect Dec. 2.
A common question is whether the package created a new security-plan requirement for propane retailers. We found nothing in the package that creates one, and the requirement pre-dates it (49 CFR 172.800).
