## Document text

(a) Each distribution system supplied by more than one district pressure-regulating station must be equipped with telemetering or recording pressure gauges to indicate the gas pressure in the district.

(b) On distribution systems supplied by a single district pressure-regulating station, the operator shall determine the necessity of installing telemetering or recording gauges in the district, taking into consideration the number of customers supplied, the operating pressures, the capacity of the installation, and other operating conditions.

(c) For low-pressure distribution systems, the telemetering or recording pressure gauges are to be located at, or near each district regulator outlet and the probable locations of minimum pressures in each part of the system.

(d) The accuracy of each recording pressure gauge provided and maintained by each operator at the locations required herein shall be tested at intervals not exceeding 15 months, but at least once each calendar year. The results of the tests shall be recorded.

(e) Each chart removed from a recording pressure gauge shall be reviewed for indications of abnormally high or low pressure. If there are indications of abnormally high or low pressure, the regulator and the auxiliary equipment must be inspected and the necessary measures taken to correct any unsatisfactory operating conditions.

(f) Each chart removed from a recording pressure gauge shall be marked with the name of the operator, the location of the gauge, the date that it was placed upon the gauge, and the date that it was removed from the gauge prior to its filing.

  "legalScope": "Complete current terminal legal unit exposed by the DPS-designated Title 16 NYCRR pipeline-safety part inventory.",
  "applicabilityCaveat": "Applicability depends on the part and section, Commission jurisdiction, commodity and facility type, intrastate or interstate status, operator and activity, exemptions, waivers, federal preemption, Commission orders, and incorporated law. DPS inspects portions of interstate systems for PHMSA, but PHMSA retains federal enforcement authority. DPS states that all jurisdictional Part 256 gas-holder and Part 257 LPG-plant facilities have been decommissioned even though those regulations remain unrepealed.",
  "incorporationCaveat": "These parts incorporate or rely on federal pipeline regulations, federal and New York statutes, Commission rules and orders, and privately authored technical standards. Part 10 supplies incorporation details. References metadata preserves explicit citations but does not reproduce external material, determine licensing rights, or decide whether a particular incorporation is static or dynamic.",
  "publicationCaveat": "The New York Department of Public Service identifies these eleven Title 16 NYCRR parts as its state pipeline-safety regulations and links to the public DOS/Westlaw NYCRR reading copy. That site labels the online text unofficial and directs users needing evidentiary accuracy to the Official NYCRR maintained by the Department of State Division of Administrative Rules. Each section's 'Current through' date is the most recent official NYCRR supplement covering that section, not a uniform corpus-wide amendment date.",
  "rights": "New York government-edict text is preserved with DPS, Department of State, and publisher attribution. The public reading site's presentation and enhancements, agency marks, forms, annotations, and incorporated federal or privately authored standards require separate rights review; this connector does not claim rights in those materials.",
