FINAL ORDER
On April 14, 2020, pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, the Director, Eastern Region, Office of
Pipeline Safety (OPS), issued a Notice of Probable Violation (Notice) to IMTT-Pipeline, LLC
(Respondent), a subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation.1 The Notice proposed
finding that Respondent had violated the pipeline safety regulations in 49 C.F.R. Part 195. The
Notice also proposed certain measures to correct the violations. Respondent did not contest the
allegations of violation or corrective measures.
Based upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find Respondent violated the
pipeline safety regulations listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed Notice, which is
incorporated by reference:
49 C.F.R. § 195.412(b) (Item 1) ─ Respondent failed to inspect each crossing
under a navigable waterway to determine the condition of the crossing at intervals
not exceeding 5 years.
49 C.F.R. § 195.573(a)(1) (Item 2) ─ Respondent failed to conduct tests on its
protected pipeline at least once each calendar year, but with intervals not to
exceed 15 months.
49 C.F.R. § 195.573(e) (Item 3) ─ Respondent failed to correct identified
deficiencies in corrosion control as required by § 195.401(b)(l).
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent.
