    (2) If the Secretary or a State authority responsible for enforcing standards prescribed under this chapter decides that a plan required under paragraph (1) of this subsection is inadequate for safe operation, the Secretary or authority shall require the person to revise the plan. Revision may be required only after giving notice and an opportunity for a hearing. A plan required under paragraph (1) must be practicable and designed to meet the need for pipeline safety, must meet the requirements of any regulations promulgated under section 60102(q), and must include terms designed to enhance the ability to discover safety-related conditions described in section 60102(h)(1) of this title. In deciding on the adequacy of a plan, the Secretary or authority shall consider—
    (A) relevant available pipeline safety information;
    (B) the appropriateness of the plan for the particular kind of pipeline transportation or facility;
    (C) the reasonableness of the plan;
    (D) the extent to which the plan will contribute to—
    (i) public safety;
    (ii) eliminating hazardous leaks and minimizing releases of natural gas from pipeline facilities; and
    (iii) the protection of the environment; and
    (E) the extent to which the plan addresses the replacement or remediation of pipelines that are known to leak based on the material (including cast iron, unprotected steel, wrought iron, and historic plastics with known issues), design, or past operating and maintenance history of the pipeline.
