Authenticated Kansas natural-gas pipeline-safety rule addressing customer installations: location and monitoring responsibility.

## Document text

(a) For residential and small commercial customers, the operator may locate a meter at either the customer's building wall or the customer's property line or easement.

(b) For industrial and large commercial customers, the operator's meter location shall be determined by mutual agreement between the operator and the customer. Each location shall provide for an adequate margin of safety from public road and on-site traffic. Each customer shall be responsible for notifying the operator of any changes in on-site traffic patterns or other conditions that could subsequently render the agreed-upon meter location unsafe. Before installing the meter, each operator shall provide written notice to the customer of the customer's obligation to monitor and report potential unsafe conditions.

(c) For each residential customer installation placed in service after May 1, 1989, the operator shall ensure that the installation or repair of all yard lines meets the design, installation, testing, maintenance, and replacement requirements specified in K.A.R. 82-11-4, K.A.R. 82-11-6, K.A.R. 82-11-7, K.A.R. 82-11-9, and K.A.R. 82-11-10.

(d) For each residential customer installation placed in service before May 1, 1989, the operator shall ensure that the installation or repair of all yard lines meets the testing, maintenance, and replacement requirements specified in K.A.R. 82-11-4, K.A.R. 82-11-6, K.A.R. 82-11-7, K.A.R. 82-11-9, and K.A.R. 82-11-10.

(e) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsections (c) and (d), the following requirements shall apply to residential customer installations located in class 1 areas with maximum operating pressures of 10 p.s.i.g. or less:

(1) For each residential customer installation placed in service before May 1, 1989, the operator shall perform leak surveys in accordance with K.A.R. 82-11-4(dd). All other installation, testing, maintenance, and replacement requirements specified in K.A.R. 82-11-4, K.A.R. 82-11-6, K.A.R. 82-11-7, K.A.R. 82-11-9, and K.A.R. 82-11-10 shall apply only to that portion of the yard line within 150 feet of a building wall.

(2) For each residential customer installation placed in service on or after May 1, 1989, the operator shall perform leak surveys in accordance with K.A.R. 82-11-4(dd). All other design, installation, testing, maintenance, and replacement requirements specified in K.A.R. 82-11-4, K.A.R. 82-11-6, K.A.R. 82-11-7, K.A.R. 82-11-9, and K.A.R. 82-11-10 shall apply only to that portion of the yard line within 150 feet of a building wall.

(f) Each residential, customer-owned installation shall be provided with odorized gas and maintained according to the requirements of K.A.R. 82-11-4(dd).

(Authorized by and implementing K.S.A. 66-1,150; effective, T-82-10-28-88, Oct. 28, 1988; effective, T-82-2-25-89, Feb. 25, 1989; revoked, T-82-3-31-89, April 30, 1989; effective May 1, 1989; amended July 7, 2003; amended Jan. 25, 2008.)

  "scopeCaveat": "This corpus contains all 11 rules that the Kansas Secretary of State current-regulations database identifies as effective in K.A.R. Article 82-11, Natural Gas Pipeline Safety. It does not claim all Kansas pipeline law: Article 82-10 liquid-pipeline rules, Article 82-14 damage-prevention rules, Kansas statutes, Commission orders, forms, and incorporated federal or private materials are outside this bounded corpus.",
  "applicabilityCaveat": "Applicability depends on Kansas Corporation Commission jurisdiction, the operator and facility, intrastate or interstate status, the gas and activity involved, statutory coverage, exemptions, waivers, federal preemption, and Commission orders. Article 82-11 includes special treatment for small gas operators, master-meter systems, yard lines, gathering lines, storage facilities, LNG facilities, and particular reporting or testing duties; verify the controlling law and facts before relying on a rule.",
  "incorporationCaveat": "Article 82-11 adopts or modifies federal requirements including 49 C.F.R. Parts 191, 192, and 199 as in effect October 1, 2018, and references Part 40, federal forms, Kansas regulations, statutes, manuals, and technical standards. The authenticated Kansas text controls the state modifications. This connector preserves explicit references but does not reproduce incorporated material, update a fixed-date adoption to later federal text, or determine licensing or legal effect of external standards.",
  "publicationCaveat": "The Secretary of State authenticated current-regulations documents are the controlling current-text source for this connector. The KCC compilation is independently archived and reconciled because it includes the December 10, 2021 amendments, but its cover calls it an unofficial copy, adopts federal text only through fixed dates, and says its federal presentation runs through January 2022. The 2023 and 2025 biennial Kansas Register indexes contain no later Article 82-11 action; currentness still must be rechecked on every refresh.",
  "rightsCaveat": "Authenticated Kansas administrative regulation text and other government edicts are preserved with official attribution and cryptographic provenance. Public access does not grant rights in agency seals, website presentation, forms, manuals, incorporated federal compilations, or privately authored standards; those materials and downstream redistribution require a separate rights review.",
