CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
March 5, 2013
Mr. Robert Carlton
Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline
4700 Highway 56
Owensboro, Kentucky 42301
CPF 3-2011-1017M
Dear Mr. Carlton:
On July 12-14, 2011, representatives from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an
on-site pipeline safety inspection of Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline’s Public Awareness
and Damage Prevention procedures in Owensboro, Kentucky. As a result of the inspection,
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline was issued a Notice of Amendment on October 21, 2011,
which proposed amendment of your procedures.
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline submitted its amended procedures and supplemental
information on November 21, 2011, December 28, 2011, and February 14, 2013. 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,
David Barrett
Director, Central Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
