Is there any API or other standard about inspection of cross country pipelines? Which inspection types are recommended and what is the recommended frequency?

When conducting in-line inspections of pipelines required by this part, an operator must comply with API STD 1163, ANSI/ASNT ILI-PQ, and NACE SP0102, (incorporated by reference, see § 192.7).

We have cross country gas lines and water lines.
Currently there is no inspection regime being followed for these lines.
The purpose of the question is to get knowledge about minimum requirements mentioned in different codes and then align our inspection regime accordingly.
