CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
February 18, 2011
Mr. Troy Valenzuela
V.P. Environmental, Health and Safety
Plains Pipeline, LP
333 Clay Street, Suite 1600
Houston, TX 77002
CPF 4-2010-7001M
Dear Mr. Valenzuela:
On June 21-25, 2010, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected the
Plains Pipeline, LP (Plains) - Offshore Crude procedures for Operations and Maintenance in
Abbeville, LA. As a result of the inspection, Plains was issued a Notice of Amendment on
December 13, 2010, which proposed amendment of the procedures.
Plains submitted its amended procedures on January 31, 2011. 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,
R. M. Seeley
Director, Southwest Region
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
