Dear Mr. Drake:
From May 10-12, 2011, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety, pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States
Code inspected Spectra Energy Corporation’s (Spectra) Public Awareness Program in Houston,
Texas. As a result of the inspection, Spectra was issued a Notice of Amendment (NOA) on
November 7, 2013.
On January 17, 2014, Spectra submitted its initial NOA response to PHMSA. On March 31,
2014, Spectra completed its submission of amended procedures to PHMSA. My staff reviewed
the amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies set forth in the NOA have been
corrected.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you
for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Byron Coy, PE
Director, Eastern Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
