Mr. Lance Loesberg
M. E. B. Technology

Grapevine, TX 76501
Dear Mr. Loesberg:
This responds to your inquiry to George W. Tenley, Jr. regarding the application of M. E. B.
Technology Gas Plant Automation Product Delivery System with respect to Federal hazardous
liquid regulations.
In my telephone conversation with you on January 31, 1994, you indicated that this delivery
system is used in oil and gas plants and is designed to facilitate the loading of tank trucks with
liquid products.
The Federal hazardous liquid pipeline regulations (49 CFR Part 195) are design, construction, and
operation standards for the pipeline transportation of hazardous liquids. The Federal hazardous
liquid regulations do not cover a loading arm system to load tank trucks in an oil and gas plant.
Therefore, the M. E. B. product delivery system is not covered by the Part 195 regulations.
Sincerely,
Cesar De Leon
Director, Regulatory Programs
Office of Pipeline Safety
