Closure Letter
Dear Mr. Meier:
On August 30 to September 1, 2011, a representative from the Arizona Corporation Commission on
behalf of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA, pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-site
pipeline safety inspection of TransCanada Corporation procedures in your Ehrenberg Compressor
Station in Western Arizona. As a result of the inspection, TransCanada Corporation was issued a
Notice of Amendment on August 22, 2012, which proposed an amendment of your procedures.
TransCanada Corporation submitted its amended procedures on September 28, 2012 and August
15, 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,
Chris Hoidal
Director, Western
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
