There’s
an app for that! In 2009, at our request, Tekk Innovations developed an iPhone
application containing the federal pipeline safety regulations (49 CFR 40, and
190-199). It has keyword search and the capability to e-mail excerpts of the
regulations to others. There have been several updates since the original app
was released. The current version 1.4 was updated on May 27, 2011. The app can
be found in the iTunes store. The cost is $19.99.
Tekk Innovations has also developed apps for all the other CFRs, including all
of 49 CFR for those who want all the transportation regulations, not just the
pipeline ones; Louisiana Law, California Law and FAA FAR for Pilots.
Editor’s Note: I like the app with just the pipeline parts of 49 CFR, since I
can search the pipeline regulations easier that way without getting hits from
the other transportation regulations.
