Dear Mr. Collier:
From April 13 through May 19, 2015, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, inspected
Buckeye Partners, L.P.’s (Buckeye) procedures for Operations and Maintenance in Breinigsville,
PA. As a result of the inspection, Buckeye was issued a Notice of Amendment on April 20, 2016,
which proposed amendment of your procedures.
Buckeye submitted its amended procedures on June 13, 2016. My staff reviewed the amended
procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of Amendment 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
