The topic is in reference to any pipelines regulated under 49 CFR part 195, the full scope of this part can be seen here: (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-195/subpart-A/section-195.1).
In more layman's terms these pipelines transport hazardous liquids (most commonly oil or petroleum products) large distances. In practice these can range from hundreds of feet to thousands of miles with a wide variety of diameters. The most common diameters would be in the 4-12 inch range.
