Dear Mr. Buchler:
On January 11 , 20 16. T ennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (TGP) wrote to the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) requesting a special permit to waive
compliance from PHMSA ·s pipeline safety regulation in 49 CFR ** 192.6 11 (a) and (d).
192.619(a), and 192.5 for pipeline segments where the class location of the segment had been
changed in accordance with* 192.5(c), cluster rule. The regulation requires confirmation or
revision of the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of a pipeline segment where the
class location has changed.
T he special permit request is for 192 segments and 49.00 miles of the TGP natural gas
transmission pipeline system located in the states of Kentucky. Louisiana. Mississippi. New
Jersey. New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. The pipeline
segments are generally short in length, not continuous . and are located in multiple states and
counties/parishes within those states. T he regulatory relie f from 49 CFR ** 192.611. 192.6 19

49 CFR §§ I92.6 1I (a) and (d), I92.6 I9(a), and I92.5
Purpose:
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) provides this
information to describe the facts of the subject special permit application submitted by
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company L.L.C. 1 (TOP), to discuss any relevant public comments
received with respect to the application, to present the engineering/safety analysis of the special
permit application, and to make findings regarding whether the requested special permit should
be granted and if so under what conditions. TGP requests that PHMSA waive compliance from
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §§ I92.6 Il (a) and (d), 192.6 19(a), and 192.5 for 192
segments and 49.00 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline as described in Appendix A?
Pipeline System Affected:
This special permit request applies to 192 pipeline segments and 49.00 miles of natural gas
transmission pipeline operated by TOP and located in the states of Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia
where a change has occurred from an original Class 1 location to a Class 3 location. This special

permit allows TGP to continue to operate the 192 pipeline segments and 49.00 mites at their
cunent maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP).
Special Permit Request:
TGP submitted an application to PHMSA on January II , 20 I6, for a special permit seeking relief
from the Federal pipeline safety regulations in §§ 192.6II(a) and (d), I92.6I9(a), and I92.5 for
192 segments and 49.00 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline as described in Appendix A of
the Special Permit Conditions. The special permit segments are located in the states of
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Texas and West Virginia.
This special permit applies to the special permit segments listed in Appendix A. Special permit
segments shall be divided into two (2) categories: Type A special permit segments and T ype B
special permit segments.
• Type A special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a
cluster, as described in 49 CFR § I92.5(c), of more than 10 buildings intended for human
occupancy in a "class location unit" and for which the MAOP has.not been confirmed in
accordance with 49 CFR § 192.6 11 (a). Type A special permit segments must be replaced
or pressure tested so that the MAOP is commensurate with the present class location
within five (5) years of issuance of this special permit. There are 11 .22 miles of Type A
special permit segments and of this total I 0.59 miles must be replaced and 0.63 miles
must be pressure tested as listed on Attachment A.
• Type A special permit segments with pipe with integrity issues as determined by
Conditions 6(c) and 14 or that have not been pressure tested in accordance with 49 CFR
Part 192, Subpart J to 1.25 times MAOP of this special permit must be replaced within
two and one-half(2 Y2) years of the grant ofthis special permit or within two (2) years of
assessment find ing.
• Type B special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a
cluster, as described in 49 CFR § I92.5(c), of 10 or fewer buildings intended for human
occupancy in a "class location unit" and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in
accordance with 49 CFR § I92.6 II . There are 3 7. 78 miles of Type B special permit
segments and 3.84 miles of this total must be pressure tested as listed on Attachment A.

PHMSA-2016-0004- Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. Special Permit Analysis and Findings

<<<PAGE 3>>>

• Special permit inspection area3
- is defined as a one ( 1) mile continuous segment on
both sides of the special permit segment (Type A and Type B) plus the footage in the
special permit segment. Appendix A lists the boundaries for the special permit
inspection area associated with each special permit segment. The special permit
inspection areas total 433.71 miles of pipe as detailed in Attachment A.
Subsequent to the issuance of this special permit, those special permit segments that have been
pressure tested or replaced such that the MAOP has been made commensurate with the present
class location as defined in 49 CFR § 192.611 would no longer be included in this special permit.
This special permit allows TOP to continue to operate the pipeline segments at their current
maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) until either replaced, hydrostatically tested, or
operated in accordance with the special permit conditions. The Federal pipeline safety
regulations in 49 CFR § 192.611 (a) require natural gas pipeline operators to confirm or revise the
MAOP of a pipeline segment after a change in class location. A special permit would allow TOP
to continue to operate each of the 192 special permit segments at their existing MAOP's despite
a change in class location for the special permit specified time interval.
Public Notice:
On February 23, 2016, PHMSA posted a notice of this special permit request in the Federal
Register (81 FR 9075). PHMSA received one ( I) public comment letter in response to the draft
EA from the '·Pipeline Safety Trust" dated March 24, 2016, concerning this proposed special
permit. The public comments are summarized as noted below and the referenced Findings of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) can be reviewed on the docket (PHMSA-2016-0004) at
www.regulations.Q.ov.
• A summary of the questions asked by Pipeline Safety Trust are below:
• Only PHMSA announcement of the permit noted the fact that the operator' s
previous class locations had been in error. (FONSI Review: Section II)
3 Special permit inspection areas throughout these conditions include special permit segments unless specifically
defined as not applicable or if the special permit segment has more stringent conditions.

<<<PAGE 4>>>

•
The 5-year waiver to accomplish this seems unreasonably long. (FONSI Review:
Section II, Footnote 2)
•
The Pipeline Safety Trust had several concerns with the information presented in
the application and the environmental assessment.
• Claimed environmental and safety benefit of the permit would occur from
the elimination of the methane emissions from pipeline blowdowns;
(FONSI Review: Section Vlll)
• Application fails in a couple of cases to provide a complete comparison of
the effects of granting or denying the permit including the impact on
adjacent right-of-way owners by allowing the existing pipe to remain in-
service; (FONSI Review: Section V)
• In the section of Safety Risks the operator indicates that the consequence
of a failure would be no different if the permit is granted or is denied,
without an indication of whether denying the permit would result in a
reduction of pressure or pipe replacement; ( FONSI Review: Section V)
• There appears to be many segments included in the application which have never
been tested in that their MAOP was determined by the Grandfather Clause
(§ 192.61 9(c)). (FONSI Review: The special permit conditions would require as a
minimum pressure tests for any segments that had not been pressure tested.)
• The application fails to give a complete useful response to § 190.341 (c)( 4).
(FONSI Review: Section II)
• Rather than use the special permit process in a situation like this, PHMSA should
consider entering a consent agreement with the operator with both acknowledging
the operator is out of compliance. PHMSA risks regulating many individual
operators by special permit, without any justification for why the regulations
should not be met, in effect negating the safety factors in place under § 192.6 11 or
other regulations. (FONSI Review: Section II on pages 3 and 4 of 3 1 of the
FONSI notes as follows: "PHMSA considered both a Consent Agreement and
Safety Order in reviewing the issues of the TGP request. Since the operator
notified PHMSA of the violation, PHMSA considered a special permit with
integrity management concepts in a special permit with conditions an appropriate

<<<PAGE 5>>>

mechanism for this situation to maintain safety. Also, the special permit
conditions would ensure the special permit segments were maintained while the
segments could be upgraded with pipe replacements or pressure tests. With
integrity management procedures being effective in other safety situations,
PHMSA considers this to be an effective approach for the sliding mile areas with
I 0 or fewer dwellings or structures for human occupancy, which is the case for
over 89 percent (171 of 192 segments) of the TOP 192 special permit segments."
The special permit requires replacement or pressure testing of segments with over
10 dwelling. The special permit has conditions and integrity management
procedures for the special permit inspection area, 433.71 miles of pipeline.)
The request letter, Federal Register notice, public comments, FONSI, and all other pertinent
documents are available for review in Docket No. PHMSA-20 16-0004 in the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) located on the internet at www.Regulations.gov.
Analysis:
Background: On June 29, 2004, PHMSA published in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948) the
criteria it uses for the consideration of class location change waivers, now being granted through
special permits. First, certain threshold requirements must be met for a pipeline section to be
further evaluated for a class location change special permit. Second, the age and manufacturing
process of the pipe; system design and construction; environmental, operating and maintenance
histories; and integrity management program elements are evaluated as significant criteria.
These significant criteria are presented in matrix form and can be reviewed in the FDMS, Docket
Number PHMSA- RSPA-2004-1740 l. Third, such special permits will only then be granted
when pipe conditions and the operator's integrity management program provides a level of safety
equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction.
Threshold Requirements: Each of the threshold requirements published by PHMSA in the
June 29, 2004, Federal Register notice is discussed below in regards to the TGP special permit
petition.

1) No pipeline segments in a class location changing to Class 4 location will be considered.
This special permit request is for 192 segments on the TOP pipeline system where a class
location change has occurred from Class 1 to Class 3 locations as defined in § 192.5(c) for
cluster locations and segments outside the cluster (and inside the sliding mile for the class
location) where an additional dwelling(s) have been identified. TOP has met this
requirement.
2) No bare pipe will be considered. These TOP special permit segments are coated with an
external protective coating. TOP has met this requirement.
3) No pipe containing wrinkle bends will be considered. There are no wrinkle bends in the
special permit segments. TOP has met this requirement.
4) No pipe segments operating above 72% of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS)
will be considered for a Class 3 special permit. The .special permil segments operate at or
below 72% SMYS. TOP has met this requirement.
5) Records must be produced that show a hydrostatic test to at least 1.25 x maximum allowable
operating pressure (MAOP). TOP will pressure test any segments that do not meet this
requirement through the special permit conditions.
6) In~lin
inspection (ILl) must have been performed with no significant anomalies identified
that indicate systemic problems. TOP will meet this requirement through the special permit
conditions.
7) Criteria for consideration of class location change waiver, now being granted through special
permits, published by PHMSA in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948), define a waiver
inspection area (.special permit inspection area) as up to 25 miles of pipe either side of the
waiver segment (special permit segment). The special permit inspection area must be
inspected according to TOP's integrity management program and periodically inspected with
an in~line inspection technique. The special permit inspection area extends one~mile out
from either side of the special permit segments long. This additional length was used since
the Type B areas that are not being replaced are locations with 10 or fewer buildings intended
for human occupancy in a "class location unit" and are outside the original "cluster area'·.
This special permit is contingent upon TOP's incorporation of each of the special permit
segments in its written integrity management program as a ··covered segment " in a "high
consequence area " (HCA) per 49 CFR § 192.903.

Criteria Matrix: The original and supplemental data submitted by TGP for the special permit
segment have been compared to the class location change special permit criteria matrix. The
special permit segments fall in the probable acceptance column of the criteria matrix for all
criteria except for:
• Possible acceptance - pipe manufacture and pipe material
• Requires substantial justification - pipe coating, Stress Corrosion Cracking Direct
Assessment (SCCDA), and several leaks within 20-miles of the special permit segment.
The data findings below fall within the "probable acceptance" or the "requires substantial
justification" columns of the criteria matrix:
1) Pipe design and construction, including pipe manufacture, material and design stress:
• TGP pipeline special permit segments have:
o Pipe manufactured with the following pipe seams: low-frequency electric
resistance welded, flash welded, double submerged arc welded, seamless, and
electric welded pipe seams.
o Pipe coatings included: coal tar enamel, hot applied wax, fusion bonded epoxy,
and tape.
o Pipe design stress was 72% specified minimum yield strength or lower.
2) Pipe coating, SCCDA, and several leaks: TGP will be required to conduct a stress corrosion
cracking assessment (SCCDA) of the special permit segments to evaluate where the risk of
stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is present. TOP will be required to implement a plan to
improve cathodic protection reliability and perform inspections for sec during excavations.
• To further address pipe manufacturing, material, construction, pipe coating, SCCDA,
and possible pipe leak issues, this special permit will include conditions requiring TOP to
treat all special permit segments as "covered segments" in an HCA per 49 CFR
§ 192.903.
• TOP will also be required to perform ILl assessments, anomaly repairs, close interval
surveys, identify any pipeline segment that may be susceptible to pipe seam issues
because of the vintage of the pipe, the manufacturing process of the pipe, or other issues

PHMSA-2016-0004 - Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. Special Permit Analysis and Findings

<<<PAGE 8>>>

and stress corrosion cracking direct assessment (SCCDA) along the entire length of the
special permit inspection areas and special permit segments according to the
requirements of 49 CFR § 192.929 after the grant of this special permit.
• This special permit will include a condition that TGP must continue to operate each
5pecial permit segment at or below its existing MAOP.
PHMSA has determined that imposing the special permit conditions will address these concerns
and provide equivalent safety for these areas.
Operational Integrity Compliance: PHMSA has reviewed this special permit request to ensure
that integrity threats to the pipeline in the special permit segments and special permit inspection
areas are addressed in the operator' s operations and management plan (O&M Plan). TGP must
have a systematic program to review and remediate pipeline safety concerns. Additional
operational integrity review and remediation requirements will be required by this special permit
for this special permit segment class location change. The pipeline operational integrity
requirements are to ensure that the operator has an ongoing program to locate and remediate
safety threats. Some of these threats to integrity and safety are the pipe coating quality, cathodic
protection effectiveness, anomalies in the pipe steel, and material and structures either along or
near the pipeline that could cause the cathodic protection system to be ineffective. PHMSA
carefully designed a comprehensive set of conditions that TGP would be required to meet in
order for the special permit to be granted. Among other things, the conditions include:
1) Special permit inspection areas must be incorporated into its TOP's written integrity
management program (IMP) as a "covered segment " in a "high consequence area
(HCA) " in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.903.
2) A close interval survey to determine the effectiveness of the cathodic protection system
must be performed within the 5pecial permit segments and special permit inspection area
and all areas with inadequate cathodic protection must be remediated. Close interval
surveys must be performed on a seven (7) year reassessment interval.
3) Cathodic protection reliability and inspections for stress corrosion cracking (SCC) must
be performed.

PHMSA-2016-0004- Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. Special Permit Analysis and Findings

<<<PAGE 9>>>

4) Stress corrosion cracking surveys on the pipeline will be required to ensure that the pipe
steel is not cracking due to the effects of high and near neutral pH SCC within the special
permit segments and special permit inspection area.
5) Operations and maintenance (O&M) manual(s) must include the conditions of the special
permit including in-line inspection (ILl), close interval inspections (CIS), remediation,
and reassessment intervals.
6) Annual reports must be sent by TGP to PHMSA updating compliance.
7) Interference currents from electric transmission lines and other interfering structures in
the special permit segments and special permit inspection area must be identified,
controlled and mitigated by conducting surveys and installing remediation measures
where required.
8) Anomalies and dents on the pipeline must be repaired based upon the special permit
repair criteria for the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas.
9) Pipeline longitudinal seams within the special permit segments and special permit
inspection areas must have an engineering analysis to determine if there are any threats
and remediated if integrity threats are determined.
l 0) Data integration of special permit condition findings and remediation must be maintained
for the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas.
11 ) Long term pipeline system flow reversals that include a special permit segment must
have a written plan that corresponds to those applicable criteria identified in PHMSA
Advisory Bulletin (ADB-2014-04), "Guidance for Pipeline Flow Reversals, Product
Changes and Conversion of Service" issued on September 18, 20 14 (79 FR 56121,
Docket PHMSA-20 14-0400).
12) A senior executive officer, vice president or higher must certify in writing that TGP is
complying with the special permit conditions.
The special permit will contain numerous conditions to ensure TGP meets or exceeds the
threshold requirements with equivalent safety and to ensure that granting the special permit will
not be inconsistent with safety.

Past Enforcement History - 2005 through Mach 28. 2016
The enforcement history is an important reflection of how TGP has been observed to follow
pipeline safety regulations and is a major area of focus for the review of this application.
Below is a listing of PHMSA closed enforcement matters of all types in all PHMSA Regions for
TGP (OPID # 19160) from 2005 through March 28, 20 16:
• Letters - of Concern or Warning - 7 matters
• Notices - of Amendment or of Probable Violation - 11 matters
• Orders - Corrective Action - 5 matters
• Orders - Safety - 1 matter
• Fines - $227,500- 100% collected
• TGP had no repeat offences during this period.
PHMSA has determined that imposing the special permit conditions summarized in this
document will ensure that granting the special permit will not be inconsistent with safety.
Findings:
Based on the information submitted by TGP and PHMSA' s analysis of technical, operational and
safety issues, and given the conditions that will be imposed in the special permit, PHMSA finds
that granting this special permit to TGP to operate special permit segments at the current MAOP,
where a change in class location has occurred from an original Class I locati on to a Class 3
location, would not be inconsistent with pipeline safety.

FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT and
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI)
Docket Number: PHMSA-2016-0004
Requested By: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.
Operator ID#: 19160
Date Requested: January 11, 2016
Original Issuance Date:  September 1, 2016
Effective Dates: September 1, 2016 to September 1, 2021
Code Section(s): 49 CFR §§ 192.611(a) and (d), 192.619(a), and 192.5
I.  Background
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 USC §§ 4321 — 4375, Council on
Environmental Quality regulations, 40 CFR §§ 1500-1508, and DOT Order 5610.1C,
require that PHMSA analyze a proposed action to determine whether the action will have
a significant impact on the human environment. PHMSA analyzes special permit
requests for potential risks to public safety and the environment that could result from our
decision to grant or deny the request. As part of this analysis, PHMSA evaluates whether
a special permit would impact the likelihood or consequence of a pipeline failure when
compared to operation of the pipeline in full compliance with the Pipeline Safety
Regulations.
PHMSA may grant the special permit request with additional conditions or deny the
request. PHMSA developed this assessment to determine the effects of our decision, if
any, on the environment.
Pursuant to 49 USC § 60118(c) and 49 CFR § 190.341, PHMSA may only grant special
permit requests that are not inconsistent with pipeline safety. PHMSA will impose
conditions in the special permit if we conclude they are necessary for safety,
environmental protection, or are otherwise in the public interest. If PHMSA determines
that a special permit would be inconsistent with pipeline safety or is not justified, the
application will be denied.
11.  Purpose and Need
• Describe the purpose of the requested special permit. What will it allow the
operator to do that it could not do under the existing regulations?

Pursuant to 49 CFR §190.341, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (TGP)1
requests a special permit seeking relief from 49 CFR §§ 192.611(a) and (d),
192.619(a), and 192.5 for pipeline segments where the class location of the
segment had been changed in accordance with 192.5(c), cluster rule, and where
additional dwellings for human occupancy have been built within the sliding mile
for class location changes outside of the cluster area. TGP found a regulatory
compliance issue with past TGP procedure methodology for the determination of
class location boundaries using the clustering and sliding mile criteria in 49 CFR
§ 192.5(c) and has updated operating procedures for usage of 49 CFR § 192.5(c),
cluster rule, and the sliding mile for confirmation of maximum allowable
operating pressure (MAOP).
Following the purchase of TGP, Kinder Morgan, notified PHMSA of code
violation issues it discovered in the TGP procedures for evaluating class locations,
where pipe had been previously updated to meet class location changes from
Class 1 to 3 locations in accordance with § 192.5. TGP had rnisapplied the usage
of the sliding mile and cluster rule portions of § 192.5. TGP had properly
conducted pipe upgrades to meet the cluster provisions in § 192.5, but had not
later upgraded the pipe when a single or more dwelling were added in the sliding
mile area outside the cluster area.
This special permit is requested by TGP in order to postpone in some cases and
waive in others cases compliance with certain regulations for the determination of
class location boundaries using the clustering criteria in 49 CFR § 192.5(c). This
change in clustering methodology due to misapplication of 49 CFR § 192.5(c) in
TGP procedures resulted in a number of new class location units, and more
specifically class 3 locations, for which pressure testing or pipe replacements are
now required. This misapplication impacted 192 special permit segments2 and
49.00 miles of TGP mainline piping located in the states of Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and
West Virginia as detailed in Attachment A for Type A and B special permit
segments. These clustered class location units are identified as "Special Perrnit
Segments." The proposed special permit would: 1) require the replacement or
pressure testing of approximately 11.22 miles of natural gas transmission pipe
(Type A3) and provides a schedule for this replacement or pressure testing work
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. is owned by Kinder Morgan, Inc.
2 In the 192 segments TGP has 11.22 miles of pipe to replace or pressure test (Type A special permit
segments) and other special permit segments including special permit inspection areas will implement
integrity management procedures and the special permit conditions during the entire 5-year period.
3 Type A special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a cluster, as
described in 49 CFR § 192.5(c), of more than 10 buildings intended for human occupancy in a "class
location unit" and for which the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) has not been confirmed
in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.611(a). Type A special permit segments must be replaced so that the
MAOP is commensurate with the present class location within five (5) years of issuance of this special
permit. There are 21 segments and 11.22 miles of Type A special permit segments and of this total 10.59
miles must be replaced and 0.63 miles must be pressure tested as listed on Attachment A.

and 2) establish enhanced integrity management procedures to maintain pipe
integrity and protect both the public and the environment for the class location
units in which the Special Permit Segments are located for the other 37.78 miles
of pipe that are not replaced (Type B4). All of the proposed Special Permit
Segments, even those not replaced or pressure tested would be treated as high
consequence areas (HCAs) with the implementation of integrity management
(1M) practices. In addition, TGP would comply with Conditions as provided in
the terms of the special permit for all the impacted Special Permit Segments and
the designated "Special Permit Inspection Aree in the proposed special permit.
The Special Permit Inspection Area is defined as a one (1) mile continuous
segment on both sides of the Special Permit Segment (Type A and Type B) plus
the footage in the Special Permit Segment and extending 220 yards on each side
of the centerline. In the instance that the pipeline does not extend a full mile
either upstream from the beginning of the Special Permit Segment or downstream
from the end of the Special Permit Segment, the Special Permit Inspection Area
will not extend beyond the pipeline initiation or termination points. The Special
Permit Inspection area will total 433.71 miles of pipe as detailed in Attachment A.
In those cases where the proposed special permit would allow for the current
pipeline segments to remain in place, the Conditions as prescribed in the proposed
special permit would provide an additional level of safety without the impacts of
excavation to remove existing pipe and install the replacement pipe. Due to the
significant number of new class location segments that will require replacement
or pressure testing, a special permit with IM based conditions would allow TGP a
more reasonable time interval to schedule the required pipeline outages. The
replacement and pressure testing of the 11.22 miles of pipe will be in accordance
with the applicable sections of 49 CFR §§ 192.105, 192.611, 192.619, and
Subpart J for the current class location.
PHMSA found in reviewing TGP's response that a misapplication of § 192.5 had
been used (under procedures in use before the Kinder Morgan acquisition) after
installing upgraded pipe in a cluster area. Attachment A shows the segment
locations with the number of dwellings outside of the cluster area but inside the
sliding mile area. PHMSA considered both a Consent Agreement and Safety
Order in reviewing the issues of the TGP request. Since the operator notified
PHMSA of the violation, PHMSA considered a special permit with integrity
management concepts in a special permit with conditions an appropriate
mechanism for this situation to maintain safety. Also, the special permit
conditions would ensure the special permit segments were maintained while the
segments could be upgraded with pipe replacements or pressure tests. With
integrity management procedures being effective in other safety situations,
PHMSA considers this to be an effective approach for the sliding mile areas with
4 Type B special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a cluster, as
described in 49 CFR § I92.5(c), of 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy in a "class
location unit" and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.611.
There are 171 segments and 37.78 miles of Type B special permit segments and 3.84 miles of this total
must be pressure tested as listed on Attachment A.
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. 
FONSI Page 3 of 31

<<<PAGE 4>>>

10 or fewer dwellings or structures for human occupancy, which is the case for
over 89 percent (171 of 192 segments) of the TGP 192 special permit segments.
Special permit conditions are measures to assess, evaluate, and implement
measures to manage and eliminate threats to pipe integrity and public safety in
areas of high consequence such as these sliding mile special permit segments.
• List the regulation(s) for which the operator seeks the permit.
The special permit would address the requirements of 49 CFR §§ 192.5,
192.611(a) and (d), and 192.619(a).
• Describe the need for the requested special permit. How would a special permit
benefit the operator? Would a special permit benefit the public? If so, please
explain how.
Implementation of the special permit conditions would allow TGP to avoid the
replacement of 37.78 miles of pipeline. Instead, the special permit would require
implementation of the special permit conditions, including enhanced integrity
management procedures. The special permit would benefit the public by
reducing any disruptions due to construction activities near their homes in the
Special Permit Segments.
• Indicate whether this is an existing or proposed pipeline.
This special permit impacts only existing pipeline facilities as outlined in
Attachment A.
• Describe pipeline, the materials transported in the pipeline, and specift the
counties and states where the affected segments of the pipeline are or would be
located.
The TGP pipeline transports natural gas in the pipeline segments included in the
special permit that are located in the states of Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and West
Virginia. The pipeline Special Permit Segments are generally short in length, not
contiguous and are located in multiple States and counties/parishes within those
states. Attachment A (Pipeline Segments and Map) outlines the specific locations
— state and county — of the Special Permit Segments.
111.  Alternatives
• Alternative 1: Granting the Special Permit Request With Conditions
▪ Describe Alternative: Describe what PHMSA would do under this
alternative. i.e. grant a permit that allows operator to schedule the
replacement or pressure testing of certain pipeline segments and leave
certain pipeline segment in place under added integrity measures defined
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 4 of 31

<<<PAGE 5>>>

in the Conditions of the special permit and while also treating all of the
identified pzpeline segments as high consequence areas.
TGP proposes a special permit with conditions that includes two types of
class location units (special permit segments) with clusters that impact
approximately 49.00 miles of pipe. These units would be designated as
either Type A or Type B special permit segments.
The Type A special permit segrnents are those with more than 10
dwellings intended for human occupancy and for which the MAOP has
not been confirmed in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.611.
Approximately 11.22 miles of pipe located in these special permit
segments would be replaced or pressure tested. A special permit would
provide a schedule for the completion of the required pipe replacements
andlor pressure testing for the Type A special permit segments.
Type B special permit segments that have 10 or fewer dwellings would
also be subject to the Conditions of the special permit for its term. All of
these special perrnit segments would be treated as high consequence areas
(HCAs) under an integrity management (IM) program (49 CFR Part 192,
Subpart 0) as a requirement of the special permit. Approximately 37.7g
miles of pipe are located in Type B locations.
The special permit would incorporate conditions (enhanced integrity
management activities) to maintain pipeline integrity. All of the permit
conditions are attributes of a robust IM program (49 CFR Part 192,
Subpart 0). These proposed Conditions include conducting periodic:
close interval surveys, cathodic protection reliability improvements, stress
corrosion cracking direct assessment, running inline inspection (ILI)
assessments (srnart pigs), interference current control surveys, remediating
ILI findings through anomaly evaluation and repairs, pipe seam
evaluations, pipe properties records review and documentation, and
maintaining line-of-sight markers. Many of these proposed integrity
activities are currently required in 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart 0 for an IM
program to manage high consequence areas (HCAs) at specified
reassessment intervals. The assessment and reassessment intervals, the
level of remediation and the maintenance activities in a proposed special
permit would be more stringent to maintain pipe integrity and protect both
the public and the environment for the class location units in which the
Special Permit Segments are located.
The erthanced integrity management activities that TGP would implement
as proposed special permit conditions for the pipeline segments include:
PIIMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 5 of 31

<<<PAGE 6>>>

1. TGP would incorporate the pipeline segments into its written integrity
management program (IMP) as a "covered segment" in a "HCA" in
accordance with 49 CFR §192.903.
2. TGP would perform a close interval survey (CIS) along the entire
length of pipeline segments and remediate any areas of inadequate
cathodic protection no later than three (3) years after the issuance of
this special permit. TGP will perform periodic CIS of the pipeline
segments with a reassessment interval not to exceed seven (7) years.
3. TGP would implement a plan to improve cathodic protection
reliability and perform inspections for stress corrosion cracking (SCC)
during all excavations.
4. TGP would perform Stress Corrosion Direct Assessments to evaluate
pipeline segments where the risk of SCC is present.
5. TGP would perform integrity assessments along the pipeline segments
using appropriate assessment methods based on threats identified
during the risk assessment process including both high resolution
magnetic flux leakage (HR-MFL) and either HR-geometry or HR-
deformation tools. TGP would reassess the pipeline segments at an
interval not to exceed seven (7) years from the last assessment in
accordance with 49 CFR § 192.939.
6. TGP would not let this special permit be a basis for deferring any of its
assessments for HCAs in accordance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart
O.
7. TGP would address induced alternating current (AC) from parallel
electric transmission lines and other interference issues such as direct
current (DC) along the pipeline segments that may affect the pipeline.
8. TGP would identify any pipeline segment that may be susceptible to
pipe seam issues because of the vintage of the pipe, the manufacturing
process of the pipe, or other issues.
9. TGP would install and maintain line-of-sight pipeline markers on the
pipeline segments except in agricultural areas or large water crossings
such as lakes where line-of-sight signage is not practical.
10. TGP would maintain data integration of all integrity findings and
remediation along the pipeline segments.
11. For long term pipeline system flow reversals occurring after the
effective date of the Special Permit and exceeding 90 days, TGP
would prepare a written plan in accordance with Advisory Bulletin
(ADB-2014-04) prior to implementing the pipeline system flow
reversal through the Special Permit Segment.
12. TGP would maintain the following records for each pipeline segment:
documentation showing that each Special Permit Segment has received
a 49 CFR § 192.505, Subpart .1, hydrostatic test for eight (8)
continuous hours and at a minimum pressure of 1.25 times MAOP,
documentation of mechanical and chemical properties including pipe
toughness (mill test reports) showing that the pipe in each Special
Permit Segment meets the wall thickness, yield strength, tensile
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. 
FONSI Page 6 of 31

<<<PAGE 7>>>

strength and chemical composition of either the API Standard 5L,
5LX, or 5LS in usage at the time of manufacturing.
• Alternative 2: Denial of the Request
• Describe Alternative:
Denial of the special permit would require the replacement and pressure
testing of all the pipeline segments associated with this special permit
request, which includes approximately 49.00 miles of mainline pipe. If
TGP opted not to replace or pressure test the relevant segments of
pipeline, 49 CFR § 192.611 requires a reduction in the pipeline maximum
allowable operating pressure (MAOP).5
• Summary
• A special permit allows TGP to continue to operate the pipeline segments
at their current maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP).
However, according to the special permit, the pipeline segments must be
replaced, hydrostatically tested, or operated in accordance with the special
permit conditions. The Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR
§ 192.611(a) require natural gas pipeline operators to confirm or revise the
MAOP of a pipeline segment after a change in class location. A special
permit would allow TGP to continue to operate each of the 192 special
permit segments at their existing MAOP's despite a change in class
location for the special permit specified time interval.
• A special permit would require TGP to replace or pressure test all
segments that have over 10 dwelling in the sliding mile area that are
outside the Cluster area to meet § 192.611. Segments within the sliding
mile and outside the Cluster area will be allowed to implement the special
permit conditions and integrity management procedures with the sliding
mile and one-mile on either side of the segment. This would be similar to
requiring a Class 1 location to implement integrity management
procedures (49 CFR Part 192, Subpart 0) for all mileage, whether it meets
the definition of a high consequence area or not.
• Background on Class Location Special Permits: On June 29, 2004,
PHMSA published in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948) the criteria it
uses for the consideration of class location change waivers, now being
granted through special permits. First, certain threshold requirements
must be met for a pipeline section to be further evaluated for a class
location change special permit. Second, the age and manufacturing
process of the pipe; system design and construction; environmental,
operating and maintenance histories; and integrity management program
elements are evaluated as significant criteria. These significant criteria are
presented in matrix form and can be reviewed in the FDMS, Docket
5 These regulatory options are specified in 49 CFR § 192.611 Change in class location: Confirmation or
revision of maximum allowable operating pressure.

<<<PAGE 8>>>

Number PHMSA—RSPA-2004-17401. Third, such special permits will
only then be granted when pipe conditions and the operator's integrity
management program provides a level of safety equal to a pipe
replacement or pressure reduction.
IV.  Site Description
• Describe the environment in the vicinity of the portions of pipeline that would be
subject to the special permit.
The pipeline segments are generally short in length, not contiguous and are
located in multiple States and counties/parishes within those states. Attachment A
outlines the specific locations — state and county — of the proposed Special Permit
Segments. Due to the number of Special Permit Segments and the multiple
locations and topography of each proposed location varies.6 The pipeline
segments identified as part of this special permit that include approximately 49.00
miles of mainline pipe.
TOP proposes a special permit that includes two types of class location units
(units) with clusters that impact approximately 49.00 miles of pipe. These units
would be designated as either Type A or Type B special permit segments.
The Type A special permit segments are those with more than 10 dwellings
intended for human occupancy and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed
in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.611. Approximately 11.22 miles of pipe
located in these units would be replaced or pressure tested. A special permit
would provide a schedule for the completion of the required pipe replacements
and/or pressure testing for the Type A units.
Type B special permit segments that have 10 or fewer dwellings would also be
subject to the Conditions of the special permit for its term. All of these special
permit segments would be treated as high consequence areas (HCAs) under an
integrity management (1M) program (49 CFR Part 192, Subpart 0) as a
requirement of the special permit.
V.  Environmental Impacts of Each Alternative
In this section, you must describe the different alternatives for agency action on your
special permit request. Describe at least two alternatives.
• Alternative 1: Granting the Special Permit Request With Conditions
6 The TGP pipeline facilities described in Attachment A, which include the Special Perrnit Segments, are
regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Prior to approving natural gas
pipeline siting, FERC analyzes the environmental impacts of siting, construction, and operation along the
proposed pipeline routes.
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 8 of 31

<<<PAGE 9>>>

• Describe Alternative: Describe what PHMSA would do under this
alternative. i.e. grant a permit that allows operator to schedule the
replacement or pressure testing of certain pipeline segments and leave
certain pipeline segrnent in place under added integrity measures defined
in the Conditions of the special permit and while also treating all of the
identified pipeline segments as high consequence areas..
The special permit includes two types of class location units (units) with
clusters that impact approximately 49.00 miles of pipe. These units would
be designated as either Type A or Type B special permit segments. The
Type A special permit segments are those with more than 10 dwellings
intended for human occupancy and for which the MAOP has not been
confirmed in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.611. Approximately 11.22
miles of pipe located in these units would be replaced or pressure tested.
The special permit provides for a schedule for the completion of the
required pipe replacements and/or pressure testing for the Type A special
permit segments. Type B special permit segments that have 10 or fewer
dwellings would also be subject to the Conditions of the special permit for
its term. All of these special permit segments would be treated as high
consequence areas (HCAs) under an integrity management (IM) program
(49 CFR Part 192, Subpart 0) as a requirement of the special permit.
The special permit would incorporate a minimum of 12 enhanced integrity
management activities described above. All of the proposed special
permit conditions are attributes of a robust IM program. These Conditions
include conducting periodic: close interval surveys, cathodic protection
reliability improvements, stress corrosion cracking direct assessment,
running inline inspection (ILI) assessments (smart pigs), interference
current control surveys, remediating ILI findings through anomaly
evaluation and repairs, pipe seam evaluations, pipe properties records
review and documentation, and maintaining line-of-sight markers. All of
these integrity activities are currently required in 49 CFR Part 192 for
either normal operational activities or within an IM program at some
reassessment intervals. The assessment and reassessment intervals, the
level of remediation and the maintenance activities in the special permit
are more stringent to maintain pipe integrity and protect both the public
and the environment for the class location units in which the pipe
segments are located.
• Safety Risks: special permit.
Describe what, i f any, safety risks would result i f the
regulation were waived as compared to the safety risks in the absence of a
Sections 192.5, 192.611(a) and (d), and 192.619(a) are in the gas pipeline
regulations to maintain the safety of the pipeline based upon maximum
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 9 of 31

<<<PAGE 10>>>

allowable operating pressure (MAOP), population (Class locations) and
population growth along the pipeline. Class locations are based upon the
population (dwellings for human occupancy) within a "class location unit"
which is defined as an onshore area that extends 220 yards on either side
of the centerline of any continuous 1-mile of pipeline. These locations are
determined by surveying the pipeline for population growth. The more
conservative safety factors are required as dwellings for human occupancy
(population growth) increases near the pipeline. Pipeline operators must
conduct surveys and document population growth within 220 yards on
either side of the pipeline. A higher population along the pipeline may
trigger any of the following for the pipeline segment with the higher
population: a reduced MAOP, a new pressure test at a higher pressure, or
new pipe with either or both heavier walled or higher grade pipe to protect
against integrity risks to occupants along the pipeline segment.
The proposed special permit enhanced integrity management conditions
would be designed to identify and mitigate integrity issues that could
threaten the pipeline segment and cause failure. The effect of the
monitoring and maintenance requirements in the proposed special permit
conditions will ensure the integrity of the pipe and protection of the
population living near the pipeline segment to a similar degree of a lower
MAOP, new pressure test, or a thicker walled or higher grade pipe
without the enhanced IM protections.
If PHMSA were to deny the special permit request, TGP would be
required to reduce the pressure in the affected pipeline segments. In this
situation, the consequences, and the PIR (a separate question and
response) would be less than if the permit is granted because the pipeline
would operate at a higher operating pressure under the special permit. In
most cases a pressure reduction would be approximately 20 percent of
current operating pressures. This reduction would be the difference in a
Class 1 versus Class 2 location design safety factor (0.72 versus 0.60). A
pressure reduction would reduce gas flow volumes to customers.
The safety risk with respect to this request for a special permit focuses on
maintaining the integrity of the pipeline and on the risk it poses to the
increased population to mitigate a failure of this pipeline. Granting this
special permit does not increase the potential impact radius (PIR (the
radius of a circle within which the potential failure of a pipeline could
have significant impact on people or property)) of the pipeline. However,
the risk from the increased human population around the pipeline would
be mitigated through IM procedures.
PIR is the radius of a circle within which the potential failure of a pipeline
could have significant impact on people or property. The current PIR's
for these pipeline segments are calculated using Section 3 of ASME
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.

TGP proposes to increase integrity management inspections for pipeline
segments adjacent to the Special Permit Segments, which would lower the
risk in areas beyond the special permit. TGP proposes to conduct IM type
procedures (proposed Conditions in the Special Permit) on the Special
Permit Inspection Areas (433.71 miles) as defined in the Special Permit.
TGP would implement the proposed condition in Type B Special Permit
Inspection Areas for the duration of the special permit, and in Type A
Special Permit Inspection Areas until the Special Permit Segment has been
replaced with new pipe.
Special permit conditions would include the enhanced IM protections in
Section III — Alternative , Items 1 through 12, which would require
conducting periodic: close interval surveys, cathodic protection reliability
improvements, stress corrosion cracking direct assessment, running inline
inspection (ILI) assessments (smart pigs), interference current control
surveys, remediating ILI findings through anomaly evaluation and repairs,
pipe seam evaluations, pipe properties records review and documentation,
and maintaining line-of-sight markers to identify, assess, and mitigate
threats to the integrity of the pipeline both for Special Permit Segments
and the larger Special Permit Inspection Area.
The special permit conditions will require TGP to conduct hydrostatic
pressure tests on any Type B special permit segments that have not been
pressure tested to 1.25 times MAOP or greater to be pressure tested. None
of the special permit segments have MAOPs established using 192.619(c)
Grandfather Clause, which operate above 72 percent pipe design factor or
without a prior pressure test for a Class 1 location.
Requiring most of the special permit conditions to be applicable to the
Special Permit Inspection Areas, which extends a mile out from either side
of the special permit segments, larger areas of the pipeline will be assessed
and remediated for threats to the integrity of the pipeline than a PIR that is
PIIMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. 
FONSI Page 11 of 31

<<<PAGE 12>>>

used to establish a high consequence area (HCA). Attachment A gives
the integrity management PIR for each TGP pipeline segment, which in all
eases is less 760 feet or less and is much less than the l-mile length used
to establish the Special Permit Inspection Area.
Performance of the Conditions in the special permit provides an equivalent
or greater level of safety for the public and environment; and imposes no
additional safety risks as a result of the waived regulation. As already
noted, all of the pipeline segments included under the special perrnit
would be treated as HCAs with the additional risk analysis and remedial
activities associated with this designation. The special permit also
includes a number of conditions that address potential safety risks.
Among these are incorporation of these segments into the Kinder Morgan
Integrity Management Program, additional close interval corrosion
surveys, implementation of a cathodic protection reliability improvernent
plan, a more comprehensive stress corrosion cracking direct assessment
program, an in-line inspection (ILI) program with intervals not to exceed
seven years, anomaly evaluation and repair meeting more stringent
criteria, additional testing and remediation of interference currents caused
by induced alternating current sources, pipe seam evaluations, criteria for
the identification of pipe properties, installation of line-of-sight markers
and the integration of all inspection and remediation data. This
comprehensive list of additional risk related Conditions incorporated in
the special permit is intended to provide for a significant added level of
safety for the existing pipeline segments.
• Would operation under a special permit change the risk of rupture
or failure?
Operation under the special permit would not be expected to have
an impact on the risk of failure or rupture as the operating
conditions of the pipeline segments have not changed. Segments
in the special permit would have inspections at intervals similar to
IM program intervals, which would maintain the integrity of the
pipe segments over the life of the special permit.
• If a failure occurred, would consequences and spill or release
volumes be different if PHMSA granted the permit? Increase risk,
decrease risk no change?
The consequences of any spill or release would not be impacted as
a result of the special permit and the potential for such an event is
expected to be less likely with the added safety programs noted
above.
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. 
FONSI Page 12 of 31

<<<PAGE 13>>>

a Would the Potential Impact Radius (PIR) of a rupture change
under the special permit? Would more people be affected by a
failure ifwe granted the permit?
The PIR as calculated in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.903 would
not change under the special permit since maximum operating
pressure and pipe diameter will not change, thus there would be no
additional impact on the public.
• Would operation under the special permit have an effect on
pipeline longevity or reliability? Would there be any life cycle or
maintenance issues?
Operation under the Special Permit Conditions that provide an
additional level of safety is expected to have a positive impact on
pipeline longevity and reliability. TGP does not anticipate any
deleterious life cycle or maintenance issues related to operation of
the pipeline with the special permit and conditions based upon IM
type procedures.
Implementation of the proposed conditions in the special permit provides
an equivalent level of safety for the public and environment; and imposes
no additional safety risks as a result of the waived regulation.
As already noted, all of the pipeline segments included under the special
permit would be replaced with new pipe (Type A) or treated as HCAs with
the additional risk analysis and remedial activities associated with this
designation (Type B). The special permit also includes a number of
proposed Special Permit Conditions that would address potential safety
risks. Among these are incorporation of these segments into the Kinder
Morgan Integrity Management Program, additional close interval
corrosion surveys, implementation of a cathodic protection reliability
improvement plan, a more comprehensive stress corrosion cracking direct
assessment program, an in-line inspection (ILI) program with intervals not
to exceed seven years, anomaly evaluation and repair meeting more
stringent criteria, additional testing and remediation of interference
currents caused by induced alternating current sources, pipe seam
evaluations, criteria for the identification of pipe properties, installation of
line-of-sight markers and the integration of all inspection and remediation
data. This comprehensive list of additional risk related conditions
incorporated in the special permit is intended to provide for a significant
added level of safety for the existing pipeline segments.
• Environmental Impacts: Explain how operation under the special
permit would impact the environment as compared to the status quo in the
absence of a special permit. either positively, negatively, or not at all.
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 13 of 31

<<<PAGE 14>>>

Approval of the special permit would have a positive impact for those
units that do not require pressure testing or replacement, since TGP's
activities would have negligible, if any, environmental impact. TGP
would avoid disturbing the right of way of property owners except for the
additional inspections that may be required to satisfy the conditions of the
special permit such those related to the Integrity Management Program for
HCAs, additional SCCDA verification digs, and potential anomaly
evaluations/repairs.
While the special permit would avoid the full replacement of affected
pipe, the proposed special permit conditions require monitoring and
maintenance that could lead to excavations and repair or replacement of
some pipe. TGF will evaluate the potential environmental consequences
and affected resources of land disturbances and water body crossings
caused by construction activities (including adding, modifying, replacing
or removing any facility) for the related environmental permits associated
with any TGP activity. This evaluation is outlined in Kinder Morgan's
Operating and Maintenance Procedure (O&M) 1205: Land Disturbance,
Construction, and Environmental Permits, and referenced forms and
procedures, which requires obtaining the required permits prior to
conducting any construction activity. These procedures ensure that all
activities resulting in land disturbances or construction of new or modified
facilities comply with the requirement to obtain all applicable
environmental permits and other applicable environmental authorizations.
These procedures contain information required to identify activities
subject to Federal, State, and Local environmental authorizations related
to the work and to obtain those authorizations. The procedures require a
review by TGP Environmental Services staff prior to the start of work,
incorporation of environmental requirements into the project
implementation, and ensuring outstanding (environmental) requirements
are incorporated into facility operation.
If the activities do not qualify under the requirements of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) "General Rules and Regulations"
Section 2.55(a) or 2.55(b) facilities or the blanket certificate, TGP will
pursue authorization in accordance with Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
• Explain whether and how operation under the special permit
would impact each of the environmental resources set out in the
Site Description portion of this document: land use planning,
surface waters (including wetlands), drinking water, soils and
vegetation, wildlife habitats (including fisheries), cultural
resources, socioeconomics, Native Americans, etc. ? Focus on
environmental aspects that are impacted Are there any geologic
hazards? Would any of these impacts be significant?
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. 
FONSI Page 14 of 31

<<<PAGE 15>>>

As already noted, this special permit involves pipeline facilities at
various locations. Each of the environmental resources potentially
impacted that are listed would be addressed in accordance with the
applicable Kinder Morgan procedures and FERC requirements.
Although the environmental impacts are not expected to be
significant it must be kept in mind that for those units requiring
pressure testing or pipe replacements (Type A) there will be
excavation related activities, along with water sourcing and water
disposal issues at a minimum. These impacts will occur whether
or not the Special Permit is granted. For the Type B segments,
approval of the special permit request would avoid disturbance to
the environment, public roadways, businesses and homes since
pipe replacement would not be required at this time. PHMSA may
require pipe replacement at a later date if integrity issues are found
with the pipe or if the segment grows to over 10 dwellings for
human occupancy in the sliding mile length that is outside the
upgraded Cluster area.
• Discuss direct, indirect and cumulative impacts.
The majority of the pipeline segments addressed by this special
permit have been buried and undisturbed for many years. The
current pipeline cover has therefore returned to its original state in
most cases. Any activity related to pressure testing or pipe
replacement will be temporary in nature and the pipeline right of
way would be restored in accordance with required environmental
regulations. Direct, indirect, or cumulative impacts associated
with activities related to the special permit would not be
significant.
• Briefly summarize environmental aspects that will not be impacted.
Explain why these resources won't be impacted.
As already noted, those pipeline segments that do not require
pressure testing or pipe replacements will be operated in nearly the
same manner as they are currently. The special permit would
allow approximately 37.78 miles of Type B7 Special Permit
Segments to remain in their current state and not require
excavation or disruption of landowner activities. Unless localized
excavations are needed, right of way activities (such as additional
pipeline markers) may increase in frequency due to the special
permit conditions, but it is anticipated that there would be a very
minimal added environmental impact related to those activities.
7 Type B special permit segments total 37,78 miles of pipe of which 3.84 miles will require pressure
testing.

<<<PAGE 16>>>

All ILI Tool inspections to determine any pipeline integrity issues
due to corrosion or third party damage would be propelled down
the pipeline by gas flow volumes pushing ILI tools through the
pipeline segment. Other IM inspections would be performed along
the pipeline segment right of way.
a  Special Permit Conditions: [Describe the additional safety measures
you propose to implement in lieu of compliance with the regulations. You
may reference information already provided in your special permit
request, as relevant.]
The Conditions related to this special permit are described in detail in the
special permit.
• [Explain whether and how each of these safely measures addresses
the safety risks and environmental impacts, i f any, of granting the
permit.]
Each of the special permit conditions have been included and
designed to address the anticipated safety risks and environmental
impacts of the TGP pipeline segments covered by the proposed
special permit.
• [Explain whether, even with the safety measures you propose,
there would be any safety risks or environmental impacts beyond
those that would exist in the absence of a special permit.]
There are currently no known safety risks or environmental
impacts that are not addressed by the special permit conditions.
The pipeline segments included in the proposed special permit are
currently operating safely and are expected to continue to perform
in that same manner.
• [Would implementation of the safe0) measures themselves have any
environmental impacts? If so, would they be significant? Discuss
direct, indirect and cumulative impacts.]
The additional safety measures provided by the proposed special
permit conditions are not expected to have any significant
environmental impacts other than the potential issues already noted
that are related to the required pressure tests and/or pipe
replacements. Please see Section III, Site Description, which
outlines the environmental review process followed by TGP prior
to any excavation being implemented. TGP follows a rigorous
procedural process as dictated by federal, state and local entities to
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 16 of 31

<<<PAGE 17>>>

assure compliance with all environmental regulations and
requirements as outlined in this prior section.
PHMSA has reviewed the Part 192 requirements for replacing the
pipeline and the conditions of the special permit including integrity
management practices and considers both to have similar
environmental and right-of-way impacts. These impacts will be
mitigated by following the FERC procedures outlined in Section
V.
• Alternative 2: Denying the Special Permit Request and Requiring Full
Compliance with 49 CFR Part 192.
• Describe Alternative: Applicant would be required to comply with 49
CFR §§ 192.5, 192.611(a) and (d), and 192.619(a). TGP would be
required to replace existing pipe with heavier walled pipe.
Denial of the permit and full adherence to the Code would afford the
protections described above that are associated with either: a lower
MAOP, new pressure test, or heavier walled or higher grade pipe. Denial
of the special permit would mean for most of these pipeline segments that
the enhanced integrity management portions of a special permit conditions
would probably not be implemented.
Denial of the special permit would require excavation to remove existing
pipe, acquiring environmental permits where necessary, and pressure
testing of the replacement pipeline segments. This action would create an
impact to vegetation, soils and possibly waterways due to the excavation,
use of public roadways, and the impacted right of way during
construction.
TGP will evaluate the potential environmental consequences and affected
resources of land disturbances and water body crossings caused by
construction activities (including adding, modifying, replacing or
removing any facility) for the related environmental permits associated
with any TGP activity. This evaluation is outlined in Kinder Morgan's
Operating and Maintenance Procedure (O&M) 1205: Land Disturbance,
Construction, and Environmental Permits, and referenced forms and
procedures, which requires obtaining the required permits prior to
conducting any construction activity. These procedures ensure that all
activities resulting in land disturbances or construction of new or modified
facilities comply with the requirement to obtain all applicable
environmental permits and other applicable environmental authorizations.
These procedures contain information required to identify activities
subject to Federal, State, and Local environmental authorizations related
to the work and to obtain those authorizations. The procedures require a
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 17 of 31

<<<PAGE 18>>>

review by TGP Environmental Services staff prior to the start of work,
incorporation of environmental requirements into the project
implementation, and ensuring outstanding (environmental) requirements
are incorporated into facility operation.
If the activities do not qualify under the requirements of 2.55(a) or 2.55(b)
facilities or the blanket certificate, TGP will pursue authorization in
accordance with Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
VI.  Public Comments
In this section, PHMSA is summarizing public comments received for this
proposed special permit.
• PHMSA received one public comment letter in response to the draft EA and draft
special permit from "Pipeline Safety Trusr dated March 24, 2016, concerning
this proposed special permit. Questions asked by Pipeline Safety Trust are
answered throughout this document and the letter can be reviewed on the docket
(PHMSA-2016-0004) at www.regulations.gov. A summary of the questions
asked by Pipeline Safety Trust are below:
• Only PHMSA announcement of the perrnit noted the fact that the
operators previous class locations had been in error. (FONSI Review:
Section II)
▪ The 5-year waiver to accomplish this seems unreasonably long. (FONSI
Review: Section II, Footnote 2)
• The Pipeline Safety Trust had several concerns with the information
presented in the application and the environmental assessment.
• Claimed environmental and safety benefit of the permit would
occur from the elimination of the methane emissions from pipeline
blowdowns; (FONSI Review: Section VIII)
• Application fails in a couple of cases to provide a complete
comparison of the effects of granting or denying the permit
including the impact on adjacent right-of-way owners by allowing
the existing pipe to remain in-service; (FONSI Review: Section V)
• In the section of Safety Risks the operator indicates that the
consequence of a failure would be no different if the permit is
granted or is denied, without an indication of whether denying the
permit would result in a reduction of pressure or pipe replacement;
( FONSI Review: Section V)
• There appears to be many segments included in the application which
have never been tested in that their MAOP was determined by the
Grandfather Clause (§ 192.619(c)). (FONSI Review: The special permit
conditions would require as a minimum pressure tests for any segments
that had not been pressure tested. Four segments have never been pressure
tested and are listed on Attachment A as KM segments 103, 181, 310, and
311. These segments will be either pressure tested or replaced.)
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 18 of 31

<<<PAGE 19>>>

• The application fails to give a complete useful response to
§ 190.341(c)(4). (FONSI Review: Section II)
• Rather than use the special permit process in a situation like this, PHMSA
should consider entering a consent agreement with the operator with both
acknowledging the operator is out of compliance. PHMSA risks
regulating many individual operators by special permit, without any
justification for why the regulations should not be met, in effect negating
the safety factors in place under § 192.611 or other regulations. (FONSI
Review: Section II - The special permit requires replacement or pressure
testing of segments with over 10 dwelling. The special permit has
conditions and integrity management procedures for the special permit
inspection area, 433.71 miles of pipeline.)
VII.  Reporting
In this section, you must describe the different reporting activities to other
agencies and reporting basis (such as quarterly or annually) of right-of-way
activities that require permits for this proposed special permit.
• TGP will submit an annual report to the FERC pursuant to Section 2.55(b)
concerning replacement activities performed in the prior calendar year that were
exempt from the advance notification requirements as specified in Section
2.55(b)(2). The following items are provided to FERC:
• (i) A brief description of the pipeline facilities to be replaced (including
pipeline size and length, compression horsepower, design capacity, and
cost of construction);
• (ii) Current U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute series topographic maps
showing the location of the facilities to be replaced; and
• (iii) A description of the procedures to be used for erosion control,
revegetation and maintenance, and stream and wetland crossings.
• TGP will submit an annual report of Blanket Certificate Activities performed
pursuant to Sections 157.208, and 385.2011 of the FERC regulations. The
following information will be provided pursuant to the applicable blanket
certificate regulation:
• Section 157.208 (Construction, acquisition, operation, replacement, and
miscellaneous rearrangement of facilities):
• (1) A description of the facilities installed pursuant to this section,
including a description of the length and size of pipelines,
compressor horsepower, metering facilities, taps, valves, and any
other facilities constructed;
• (2) The specific purpose, location, and beginning and completion
date of construction of the facilities installed, the date service
commenced, and, if applicable, a statement indicating the extent to
which the facilities were jointly constructed;
PHMSA-2016-000-I Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 19 of 31

<<<PAGE 20>>>

• (3) The actual installed cost of each facility item listed pursuant to
paragraph (e)(1), separately stating the cost of materials and labor
as well as other costs allocable to the facilities;
• (4)(i) A description of the contacts made, reports produced, and
results of consultations which took place to ensure compliance
with the Endangered Species Act, the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Coastal Zone Management Act;
• (ii) Documentation, including images, that restoration of work
areas is progressing appropriately;
• (iii) A discussion of problems or unusual construction issues,
including those identified by affected landowners, and corrective
actions taken or planned; and
• (5) For acquisitions of facilities:
• (i) A statement referencing the date of issuance, docket number
and title of the proceeding for any certificate issued by the
Commission authorizing the facilities acquired; and
• (ii) The amounts recorded in the accounts of the vendor (seller
or lessor) that apply to the facilities acquired and the accumulated
provisions for depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
VIII.  Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
PHMSA has carefully analyzed the safety and environmental risks associated with the
above alternatives.
PHMSA believes there are minimal differences in environmental benefits from
Alternative 1 (Granting the Special Permit Request With Conditions) or Alternative 2
(Denial) in eliminating methane emissions. Some methane emissions will occur from
blowdowns in anticipation of hydrotesting or pipe replacement for either alternative.
TGP must use operating practices to minimize gas volumes in the pipe prior to segment
blowdown for either Alternative 1 or 2.
PHMSA will require Type A special permit segments8 to be replaced with new upgraded
pipe in accordance with 49 CFR §§ 192.611(a) and 192.619(a) requirements for a Class 3
location or pressure tested so that the MAOP is commensurate with the present class
location. Type B special permit segments9 will be required to implement IM procedures
and the conditions in the special permit.
g Type A special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a cluster, as
described in 49 CFR § 192.5(c), of more than 10 buiklings intended for human occupancy in a "class
location unit" and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in accordance with 49 CFR
§ 192.61(a).
9 Type B special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a cluster, as
described in 49 CFR § 192.5(c), of 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy in a "class
location unit" and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.611.
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C.  FONSI Page 20 of 31

<<<PAGE 21>>>

PHMSA will grant TGP a special permit with conditions as outlined in Alternative
1 and Reporting sections above. TGP will implement additional special permit
conditions to maintain safety and will follow the FERC and any other applicable
Federal, state, and local regulations for evaluating and mitigating the potential
environmental consequences and affected resources of land disturbances and water
body crossings caused by construction activities (including adding, modifying,
replacing or removing any facility) for the related environmental permits associated
with any TGP activity.
PHMSA has imposed conditions on this special permit designed to protect the
public, property, and the environment from the risk of a pipeline leak or failure.
These conditions are designed to ensure that the likelihood of a leak or failure is not
greater than it would be in the absence of the special permit. Therefore, we believe
there are no significant environrnental impacts associated with the issuance of a
special permit to TGP.
The TGP special permit conditions will maintain safety and the environment for the
49.00 miles of pipe in the special permit segments until replaced with upgraded
pipe or pressure tested and will require integrity management concepts to be
implemented for 433.71 miles of special permit inspection areas.

miles of natural gas transmission pipeline as described in Appendix A. This special permit
allows TGP to continue to operate each special permit segment listed in Appendix A at its
current listed maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP). The Federal pipeline safety
regulations in 49 CFR § 192.611(a) require natural gas pipeline operators to confirm or revise the
MAOP of a pipeline segment after a change in class location.
This special permit applies to the special permit segments listed in Appendix A. Special permit
segments shall be divided into two (2) categories: Type A special permit segments and Type B
special permit segments.
Type A special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a cluster,
as described in 49 CFR § 192.5(c), of more than 10 buildings intended for human occupancy in a
"class location unif and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in accordance with 49
CFR § 192.611(a). Type A special permit segments must be replaced so that the MAOP is
commensurate with the present class location within five (5) years of issuance of this special
permit. Type A special permit segments3 total 11.22 miles of pipe as described in Attachment A.
Type A special permit segments with pipe with integrity issues as determined by Conditions
6(c) and 14 or that have not been pressure tested in accordance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart J
to 1.25 times MAOP of this special permit must be replaced within two and one-half (21/4) years
of the grant of this special permit or within two (2) years of assessment finding.
Type B special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a cluster,
as described in 49 CFR § 192.5(c), of 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy in a
"class location unit" and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in accordance with 49
CFR § 192.611. Type B special permit segments4 total 37.78 miles of pipe as described in
Attachment A.
3 There are 11.22 miles of Type A special permit segments and of this total 10.59 miles must be replaced and 0.63
miles must be pressure tested as listed on Attachment A, see Condition 16 for pressure test requirements.
4 There are 37.78 miles of Type B special permit segments and 3.84 miles of this total must be pressure tested as
listed on Attachment A, see Condition 16 for pressure test requirements. Four (4) Type B special permit
segments (KM segment number 103, 181, 310, and 311) are § 192.619(c) Grandfathered segments and will
require pressure testing.

Subsequent to the issuance of this special permit, those special permit segments that have been
pressure tested or replaced such that the MAOP has been made commensurate with the present
class location as defined in 49 CFR § 192.611 would no longer be included in this special permit.
Special permit inspection area5 — is defined as a one (1) mile continuous segment on both sides
of the special permit segment (Type A and Type B) plus the footage in the special permit
segment. Appendix A lists the boundaries for the special permit inspection area associated with
each special permit segment. The TGP special permit inspection area totals 433.71 miles of
pipe as described in Attachment A.
PHMSA hereby grants this special permit for the pipeline special permit segments listed in
Appendix A based on the findings set forth in the "Special Permit Analysis and Findings"
document, which can be read in its entirety in Docket No. PHMSA-2016-0004 in the Federal
Docket Management System (FDMS) located on the internet at www.Regulations.gov.

protection no later than three (3) years after the issuance of this special permit. However, a
CIS need not be performed if TGP has performed a CIS and completed remediation8
including damaged coating repair along the entire length of all special permit inspection
areas less than seven (7) years9 prior to the issuance of this special permit. If environmental
permitting or right-of-way factors beyond TGP control should prevent the completion of the
CIS within three (3) years from the issuance of this special permit, a CIS and subsequent
remediation including coating repair must be completed as soon as practicable and a letter
justifying the delay and providing the anticipated date of completion must be submitted to the
appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director no later than three (3) months prior to the end of
three (3) years after the issuance of this special permit and must receive a "no objection"
from the PHMSA OPS Region Director for a delay. CIS remediation activities must be
completed within one (1) year of the finding. Any extended evaluation and remediation
schedules submitted to PHMSA from TGP must receive a "no objection" from the
appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director to implement an extended CIS and remediation
interval.
4) Close Interval Sur% evs — Reassessment Interval: TGP must perform a periodic close
interval survey (CIS) of the special permit inspection areas at the applicable reassessment
interval(s) for a "covered segment" in accordance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart 0, for
reassessment intervals as contained in 49 CFR §§ 192.937(a) and (b) and 192.939, not to
exceed a seven (7) year reassessment interval I°. CIS data shall be integrated with in-line
inspection (ILI) data. Condition 15(b) — Data Integration — gives a complete description of
7 Each condition that requires TGP to perform an action with respect to the special permit inspection areas shall
also require TGP to perform that action on all special permit segments within such areas. Type A special permit
segments that will be replaced within three (3) years of this special permit issuance do not require a CIS.
8 The terms "remediate" or "remediatior of pipe coating shall include repair of damaged external pipe coating,
where required to maintain cathodic protection of the pipeline in accordance with 49 CFR §192.463.
9 If 49 CFR § 192.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessment interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)
years.
1° If 49 CFR § 192.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessment interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)
years.

data integration information that an operator must maintain for a special permit in the special
permit inspection areas which includes CIS and ILI data. CIS assessments within the
reassessment interval are not required to be performed in the same year as ILI reassessments.
5) Cathodic Protection Reliability Improvement Plan: TGP shall implement a plan to
improve cathodic protection reliability and perform inspections for stress corrosion cracking
(SCC).
a) Cathodic Protection Reliability Improvement Plan
i) TGP must perform a periodic CIS of special permit inspection areas as part

increased frequency, not to exceed a seven (7) year reassessment interval
with CIS data integrated with the most-recent in-line inspection data' I ;
ii) TGP must integrate the most current CIS data with in-line inspection results
in the special permit inspection area in accordance with Condition 15(b)
timing requirements;
iii) Within 90 days of the issuance of this special permit, TGP must amend
applicable sections of its operations and maintenance (O&M) manual(s) to
prohibit future use of coating that is known to shield cathodic protection
along the entire length of the special permit inspection areas; and
iv) TGP must perform a run comparison analysis of in-line inspection results
subsequent to the baseline inspection in the special permit inspection areas
to identify areas of external corrosion growth after each new tool run when
the same in-line inspection vendor is used for consecutive inspections.
Areas with corrosion growth over 30% in depth must be remediated within
one (1) year of the finding or direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) survey
run to locate problem coating areas within six (6) months of the finding with
remediation completed within six (6) months of the DCVG survey.
I I 1f 49 CFR § 192.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessment interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)
years.

v) Within one (1) year of the issuance of this special permit, TGP must install
cathodic protection remote monitoring units (RMUs) at all impressed
current sources directly influencing the special permit segments;
vi) TGP must configure the RMUs in the special permit segments with alarms
to notify TGP immediately in the event of any interruption in cathodic
protection current output; and
vii) TGP must respond and correct any interruption in cathodic protection
current output immediately (within two (2) working days). If a systemic
issue is present, then TGP must investigate and remediate the problem
within one (1) month or less or TGP must receive a "no objection" from the
appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director for issues that require longer to
remediate.
b) Stress Corrosion Cracking Inspections
i) TGP must review historical records to determine if SCC inspections have
been performed in the special permit segments and from these inspections
evaluate the threat of stress-corrosion cracking as part of the SCCDA Pre-
Assessment Step in Condition 6(a).
ii) TGP must perform magnetic particle inspection on any pipe (with the
exception of pipe coated with fusion-bonded or liquid-applied epoxy
coatings, which are not at risk for SCC) excavated in the special permit
inspection areas to evaluate the pipe for SCC where disbonded coating is
removed in order to perform the inspection.
6) Stress Corrosion Cracking_ Direct Assessment: TGP must evaluate pipelines along the
entire length of the special permit inspection areas for SCC as follows:
a) TGP must perform a stress corrosion cracking direct assessment (SCCDA) or other
appropriate assessment method for SCC [such as pressure test or in-line inspection
(ILI) with a crack detection tool] of pipelines along the entire length of all special
permit inspection areas according to the requirements of 49 CFR § 192.929 and
NACE SP 0204-2008 no later than three (3) years after of the issuance of this special
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. Special Permit Page 6 of 33

<<<PAGE 7>>>

permit. The SCCDA or other approved method must address high pH SCC and near
neutral pH SCC. The SCCDA Pre-Assessment Step will include the results of all
close-interval surveys and coating surveys required in Conditions 3, 4, and 5.
i) If environmental permitting or right-of-way factors beyond TGP control
prevent the completion of the SCCDA survey and remediation within three
(3) years from the issuance of this special permit, a SCCDA and remediation
must be performed as soon as practicable and a letter justifying the delay
and providing the anticipated date of completion must be submitted to the
appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director no later than three (3) months
prior to the end of three (3) years after the issuance of this special permit
and must receive a "no objection" from the PHMSA OPS Region Director
for a delay.
ii) TGP may eliminate this Condition 6(a), provided TGP provides an
engineering assessment showing that the pipeline does not meet the criteria
for either near neutral or high pH SCC in accordance with the applicable
edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Standard B31.8S,
"Managing System Integrity of Gas Pipelines" (ASME B31.8S), Appendix
A3, or NACE SP 0204-2008, "Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) Direct
Assessment Methodology", Section 1.2.1.1 and 1.2.2.
iii) A SCCDA need not be performed if TGP has performed a SCCDA of
pipelines along the entire length of the special permit inspection areas
within the timeframe for SCCDA re-assessments specified in 49 CFR Part
192, Subpart 0, not to exceed seven (7) years12 prior to the issuance of this
special permit.
b) If the SCCDA required in Condition 6(a) demonstrates SCC, TGP must directly
examine pipe in the special permit inspection areas for SCC using an accepted
industry detection practice, such as dry or wet magnetic particle tests, anytime the
pipelines are exposed for any reason, including damage prevention activities. Poor
coating is coating losing adhesion to the pipe which is shown by falling off the pipe,
12 If 49 CFR § I 92.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessrnent interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)
years.

and/or shields the cathodic protection. TGP must keep coating records' 3 of all
excavation locations for the special permit inspection areas to demonstrate the
coating condition.
c)  If SCC14 activity is discovered by any means within the special permit inspection
area in similar pipe and pipe coating vintage [in accordance with 49 CFR
§ 192.917(e)], or has had an in service or hydrostatic test SCC failure or leak; the
special permit segment must be further assessed and mitigated, using one of the
following methods, within one (1) year of finding SCC:
i) Hydrostatic test program
A. The SCC hydrostatic test program must be performed at a
reassessment interval no greater than seven (7) calendar years (but
may be at a lesser interval in accordance with the results of an
engineering critical assessment) in the special permit segment.
B. If pipe in the special permit segment leaks or ruptures during a
hydrostatic test due to SCC, all pipe in the special permit segment
must be replaced with new pipe within 18 months of the completion of
a successful SCC hydrostatic test. A successful SCC hydrostatic test
must be completed prior to returning the special permit segment to
operational service.
ii) Crack detection tool assessment
A. SCC detection tool must be run in the special permit inspection area,
B. All SCCI5 cracking found in the special permit segment must be
replaced with new pipe within one (1) year of finding SCC,
iii) Operating pressure lowered to 60% of the specified minimum yield strength
(SMYS),
iv) Replace all affected pipe to meet 49 CFR § 192.611 in the special permit
segment.
" The records must include, at a minimum, a description of the TGP's detection procedures, records of finding, and
mitigation procedures implemented for the excavation.
" "SCC" activity shall be defined as over both 10 percent wall thickness depth and 2-inches in length.
15 "SCC" activity shall be defined as over both 10 percent wall thickness depth and 2-inches in length.

d) If any SCC activity is discovered in the special permit inspection area, TGP must
submit a SCC remediation plan to the appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director with
a copy to the Director, PHMSA OPS Engineering and Research Division no later than
60 days after the finding of SCC:
i) That meets Condition 6(c), including a SCC remediation/repair plan with
SCC characterization and timing, or
ii) Technical justification that shows that the threat for SCC in the special
permit segment is being addressed.
7) O&M Manual — In-line Inspections, Close Interval Survey Inspections, and
Reassessment Intervals: TGP must amend applicable sections of its operations and
maintenance (O&M) manual(s) to incorporate the in-line inspection (ILI), close interval
inspections (CIS), and reassessment intervals by the appropriate integrity assessment method
including both high resolution metal loss and deformation/geometry tools along the entire
length of the special permit inspection areas at a frequency consistent with 49 CFR Part 192,
Subpart 0, but not to exceed a seven (7) year reassessment intervali6.
8) In-Line Inspection Initial Assessment: TGP must perform integrity assessments along the
entire length of the special permit inspection areas using appropriate assessment methods
based on threats identified during the risk assessment process including both high resolution
magnetic flux leakage (HR-MFL) and either HR-geometry or HR-deformation tools. If
integrity assessments have not been performed within seven (7) years prior to the issuance of
this special permit, TGP must complete initial integrity assessments along the entire length of
the special permit inspection areas within three (3) years of the issuance of this special
permit. Subsequent integrity assessments along the entire length of the special permit
inspection areas must conform to the required maximum reassessment intervals specified in
49 CFR § 192.939, but may not exceed a seven (7) year reassessment interval".
16 lf 49 CFR § 192.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessment interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)
years.
17 lf 49 CFR § 192.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessment interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)

9) Integrity Reassessment Intervals: TGP must schedule integrity reassessment dates for the
entire length of the special permit inspection areas according to 49 CFR § 192.939 by
adding the required time interval to the previous assessment date, but may not exceed a seven
(7) year reassessment interval 18.
10) High Consequence Area Assessments: TGP must not let this special permit be a basis for
deferring any of its assessments for HCAs in accordance with 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart O.
11) Annual Reports to PHMSA: Within three (3) months following the issuance of this special
permit and annuallyt9 thereafter, TGP must report the following to the appropriate PHMSA
OPS Region Director with copies to the Deputy Associate Administrator, PHMSA Field
Operations; Deputy Associate Administrator, PHMSA Policy and Programs; Director,
PHMSA Engineering and Research Division; and Director, PHMSA Standards and

c) inspection segment.
Any reportable incident or any leak normally indicated on the DOT Annual Report,
and all repairs on the pipeline that occurred during the previous year in the special
permit inspection areas.
18 If 49 CFR § 192.939(a) integrity management reassessment interval should change from seven (7) years to some
other reassessment interval under eight (8) years, TGP may use that reassessment interval instead of seven (7)
years.
19 Annual reports must be received by PHMSA by the last day of the month in which the Special Permit is dated.

<<<PAGE 11>>>

d) e) f) g) h) i) Summary report of any fatigue analysis performed on all in-service, non-remediated
dents over 6% and with total strain < 5%, as required in Condition 13(b).
Annual data integration information, as required in Condition 15(b) - Data Integration
must be submitted beginning with the 2nd annual report that includes an annual
overview of any new threats, or if requested by PHMSA a full information package.
Any mergers, acquisitions, transfer of assets, or other events affecting the regulatory
responsibility of the company operating the pipeline.
An updated Appendix A reflecting changes in Special Permit Segment boundaries
including extensions, deletions, or modifications.
In the first annual report, TGP must describe the estimated economic benefits of the
special permit including both the capital and operational costs avoided from not
replacing the pipe and the estimated incremental operational costs of any inspection
program requirements of the special permit for the 5-year grant period that are not
already being conducted by TGP through their operational procedures.
In the first annual report, TGP must describe whether the public benefits from enemy
availability. This should address the benefits of any avoided disruptions as a
consequence of pipe replacement and the benefits of maintaining system capacity.
12) Interference Currents Control: TGP must address induced alternating current (AC) from
parallel electric transmission lines and other interference issues such as direct current (DC) in
the special permit inspection areas that may affect the pipeline. An induced AC or DC
program and remediation plan to protect the pipeline from corrosion caused by stray currents
must be in place within one (1) year of the date of this special permit.
a) At least once every seven (7) years not exceeding 90 months, TGP must perform an
engineering analysis on the effectiveness of the AC and DC mitigation measures and
must evaluate any AC interference between 20 and 50 Amps per meter squared. In
evaluating such interference, TGP must integrate AC interference data with the most
recent ILI results to determine remediation measures. Any AC interference between
20 and 50 Amps per meter squared must be remediated within six (6) months of the
finding. If TGP does not remediate AC interference between 20 and 50 Amps per
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. Special Permit Page 11 of 33

<<<PAGE 12>>>

b) c) d) meter squared, TGP must provide an engineering justification for not remediating
such interference to the appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director, who may accept
or reject the justification and require remediation.
In special permit inspection areas with co-located high voltage alternating current
(HVAC) power lines, TGP must take interference readings (continuous 24-hour
recordings) during the calendar quarter of the known or anticipated highest voltage
reading. If there are any significant increases to the amount of electricity/current
flowing in any co-located high voltage altemating current (HVAC) power lines, such
as from additional generation, a voltage up-rating, additional lines, or new or enlarged
substations, TGP must perform an AC mitigation survey along the entire co-located
pipeline special permit inspection area right of way within six (6) months of any
such change.
Within six (6) months of the engineering analysis, TGP must remediate any AC
interference greater than 50 Amps per meter squared. Remediation means the
implementation of performance measures including, but not limited to, additional
grounding along the pipeline to reduce interference currents. Any DC interference
that results in CP levels that do not meet the requirements of 49 CFR Part 192,
Subpart I, must be remediated within six (6) months of this evaluation.
If environmental permitting or right-of-way factors beyond TGP control prevent the
completion of rernediation within six (6) months of the interference evaluation,
remediation must be completed as soon as practicable and a letter justifying the delay
and providing the anticipated date of completion must be submitted to the appropriate
PHMSA OPS Region Director no later than one (1) month prior to the end of the six
(6) months completion date. Any extended evaluation and remediation schedules
submitted to PIIMSA from TGP must receive a "no objection" from the appropriate
PHMSA OPS Region Director.
13) Anomaly Evaluation and Repair:
a) General: TGP must account for ILI tool tolerance and corrosion growth rates in
scheduled response times and repairs and document and justify the values used. TGP
must demonstrate ILI Tool tolerance accuracy for each ILI Tool run by usage of
PHMSA-2016-0004 Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C. Special Permit Page 12 of 33

<<<PAGE 13>>>

calibration excavations and unity plots that demonstrate ILI Tool accuracy to meet
the tool accuracy specification provided by the vendor (typical for depth within
+10% accuracy for 80% of the time). The unity plots must show: a) actual anomaly
depth versus predicted depth and b) actual failure pressure/MAOP versus predicted
failure pressure/MAOP. Discovery date must be within 120 days of an ILI Tool run
for each type ILI Tool (HR-geometry, HR-deformation, or HR-MFL).
i) ILI tool evaluations for metal loss must use "6t x 6t" interaction criteria (or
more conservative criteria) for determining anomaly failure pressures and
remediation response timing with "6t" being pipe wall thickness times six.
b) Dents: TGP must repair dents in the special permit segment and special permit
inspection area in accordance with 49 CFR § 192.933 if it is located in a HCA and in
accordance with 49 CFR §§ 192.933(a)-(c) repair criteria and "Table 1 — Special
Requirements for Scheduling Remediation of Dents" if it is not located in an HCA.

Definitions
1. Plain Dent — Dent without metal loss, crack or stress riser.
2. Immediate Response — Reduce pressure to 80% of recent maximum pressure. hmnediate
dents require an immediate pressure reduction and / or restriction and examination and
remediation as required in conformance with TGP requirements within five (5) calendar
days from the date of discovery. If the remediation cannot be met according to the
response schedule, a technical justification must be prepared that explains the reasons why
the remediation cannot be met according to the schedule and indicate how the changed
schedule will not jeopardize public safety. Any extended response schedules must be
submitted to PHMSA from TGP within 14 days of pressure reduction after discovery and
must receive a "no objection" from the appropriate PHMSA OPS Region Director.
3. Scheduled Response — Schedule excavation within an appropriate time frame based on the
opinion of the TGP SME (not to exceed 365 days for special permit segments and 730
days for special permit inspection areas).
4. 5. 6. Monitored — Catalog data for future monitoring.
Top — located between 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions (upper 2/3 of the pipe).
Bottom — located between 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions (bottom 1/3 of pipe).

PIPELINE AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY ADMINISTRATION
Special Permit Analysis and Findings
Class 1 to 3 Location
Special Permit Information:
Docket Number: PHMSA-2016-0004
Requested By: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC
Operator ID#: 19160
Original Date Requested: January 11, 2016
1st Renewal Issuance Date: March 17, 2023
Code Section(s): 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d), 192.619(a), and 192.5
Purpose:
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) provides this
information to describe the facts of the subject special permit application submitted by
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC1 (TGP), to discuss any relevant public comments
received with respect to the application, to present the engineering/safety analysis of the special
permit application, and to make findings regarding whether the requested renewal of this existing
special permit should be granted, and if so, under what conditions. TGP requests that PHMSA
waive compliance from 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 192.611(a) and (d), 192.619(a),
and 192.5 for 162 segments and 36.901 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline segments.
Pipeline System Affected:
This special permit renewal request applies to 162 special permit segments and 36.901 miles of
natural gas transmission pipeline operated by TGP and located in the states of Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and West
Virginia where a change has occurred from an original Class 1 location to a Class 3 location.

<<<PAGE 2>>>

This special permit allows TGP to continue to operate the 162 special permit segments at their
current maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP).
Special Permit Request:
TGP submitted an application to PHMSA on March 4, 2021, for a special permit renewal
seeking relief from the Federal pipeline safety regulations in 192.611(a) and (d), 192.619(a), and
192.5 for 162 special permit segments and 36.901 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline.
The special permit segments are located in the states of Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.
Special permit segments are divided into two (2) categories: Type A special permit segments
and Type B special permit segments.
• Type A special permit segments include those special permit segments as described in
Attachment A - Type A Special Permit Segments and Inspection Areas, where there
is a cluster, as described in 49 CFR 192.5(c), of more than 10 buildings intended for
human occupancy in a “class location unit” and for which the MAOP has not been
confirmed in accordance with 49 CFR 192.611(a) or where the pipe installed has been
identified to have a seam type or manufacturer type that is problematic for maintaining
pipeline integrity. Type A special permit segments total approximately 10.192 miles
(53,813.09 feet) of pipe in this proposed special permit renewal. Type A special permit
segments must meet Condition 1(d) and Conditions 8(b)(i) and (c) of the Special Permit
Conditions.
• Type B special permit segments include those special permit segments where there is a
cluster, as described in 49 CFR 192.5(c), of 10 or fewer buildings intended for human
occupancy in a “class location unit” and for which the MAOP has not been confirmed in
accordance with 49 CFR 192.611. Type B special permit segments total approximately
26.348 miles (139,115.00 feet) of pipe as described in Attachment A – Type B Special
Permit Segments and Inspection Areas.
• Special permit inspection areas are defined as a one (1) mile continuous segment on both
sides of the special permit segment (Type A and Type B) plus the footage in the special
permit segment. Attachment A lists the boundaries for the special permit inspection
area associated with each special permit segment.
PHMSA-2016-0004 – Tennessee Pipeline Gas Company, LLC Special Permit Analysis and Findings

<<<PAGE 3>>>

Subsequent to the issuance of this special permit, those special permit segments that have been
pressure tested or replaced such that the MAOP has been made commensurate with the present
class location as defined in 49 CFR 192.611 would no longer be included in this special permit.
This special permit allows TGP to continue to operate the pipeline segments at their current
maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) until either replaced, hydrostatically tested, or
operated in accordance with the special permit conditions. The Federal pipeline safety
regulations in 49 CFR 192.611(a) require natural gas pipeline operators to confirm or revise the
MAOP of a pipeline segment after a change in class location. A special permit would allow TGP
to continue to operate each of the 162 special permit segments at their existing MAOP’s despite
a change in class location for the special permit specified time interval.
Public Notice:
On May 27, 2022, PHMSA posted a notice of this special permit request in the Federal Register
(87 FR 32227) with a closing date of June 27, 2022. PHMSA has reviewed all public comments
received for Docket Number PHMSA-2016-0004. PHMSA received public comments
concerning this special permit request that have been addressed in the Final Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (FEA and FONSI).
The TGP special permit application letter, Federal Register notice, Final Environmental
Assessment, Finding of No Significant Impact, and all other pertinent documents are available
for review in Docket No. PHMSA-2016-0004 in the Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) located at www.Regulations.gov.
Analysis:
Background: On June 29, 2004, PHMSA published in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948) the
criteria it uses for the consideration of class location change waivers, now being granted through
special permits. First, certain threshold requirements must be met for a pipeline section to be
further evaluated for a class location change special permit. Second, the age and manufacturing
process of the pipe; system design and construction; environmental, operating and maintenance
histories; and integrity management program elements are evaluated as significant criteria.
These significant criteria are presented in matrix form and can be reviewed in the FDMS, Docket
PHMSA-2016-0004 – Tennessee Pipeline Gas Company, LLC Special Permit Analysis and Findings
Page 3 of 20

<<<PAGE 4>>>

Number PHMSA–RSPA-2004-17401. Third, such special permits will only then be granted
when pipe conditions and the operator’s integrity management program provides a level of safety
equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction.
Threshold Requirements: Each of the threshold requirements published by PHMSA in the
June 29, 2004, Federal Register notice is discussed below in regards to the TGP special permit
petition.
1) No pipeline segments in a class location changing to Class 4 location will be considered.
This special permit request is for 162 special permit segments on the TGP pipeline system
where a class location change has occurred from Class 1 to Class 3 locations as defined in49
CFR 192.5(c) for cluster locations and segments outside the cluster (and inside the sliding
mile for the class location) where an additional dwelling(s) have been identified. TGP has
met this requirement.
2) No bare pipe will be considered. These TGP special permit segments are coated with an
external protective coating. TGP has met this requirement.
3) No pipe containing wrinkle bends will be considered. There are no wrinkle bends in the
special permit segments. TGP has met this requirement.
4) No pipe segments operating above 72% of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS)
will be considered for a Class 3 special permit. The special permit segments operate at or
below 72% SMYS. TGP has met this requirement.
5) Records must be produced that show a hydrostatic test to at least 1.25 x maximum allowable
operating pressure (MAOP). TGP will pressure test any segments that do not meet this
requirement through the special permit conditions.
6) In-line inspection (ILI) must have been performed with no significant anomalies identified
that indicate systemic problems. TGP will meet this requirement through the special permit
conditions.
7) Criteria for consideration of class location change waiver, now being granted through special
permits, published by PHMSA in the Federal Register (69 FR 38948), define a waiver
inspection area (special permit inspection area) as up to 25 miles of pipe either side of the
waiver segment (special permit segment). The special permit inspection area must be
inspected according to TGP’s integrity management program and periodically inspected with
PHMSA-2016-0004 – Tennessee Pipeline Gas Company, LLC Special Permit Analysis and Findings
Page 4 of 20

<<<PAGE 5>>>

an in-line inspection technique. The special permit inspection area extends one-mile out
from either side of the special permit segments long. This additional length was used since
the Type B areas that are not being replaced are locations with 10 or fewer buildings intended
for human occupancy in a “class location unit” and are outside the original “cluster area”.
This special permit is contingent upon TGP’s incorporation of each of the special permit
segments in its written integrity management program as a “covered segment” in a “high
consequence area” (HCA) per 49 CFR 192.903.
Criteria Matrix: The original and supplemental data submitted by TGP for the special permit
segments have been compared to the class location change special permit criteria matrix. The
special permit segments fall in the probable acceptance column of the criteria matrix for all
criteria except for:
• Possible acceptance – pipe manufacture and pipe material
• Requires substantial justification – pipe coating, Stress Corrosion Cracking Direct
Assessment (SCCDA), and several leaks within 20-miles of the special permit segment.
The data findings below fall within the “probable acceptance” or the “requires substantial
justification” columns of the criteria matrix:
1) Pipe design and construction, including pipe manufacture, material and design stress:
• TGP pipeline special permit segments have:
o Pipe manufactured with the following pipe seams: low-frequency electric
resistance welded, flash welded, double submerged arc welded, seamless, and
electric welded pipe seams.
o Pipe coatings included: coal tar enamel, hot applied wax, fusion bonded epoxy,
and tape.
o Pipe design stress was 72% specified minimum yield strength or lower.
2) Pipe coating, SCCDA, and several leaks: TGP will be required to conduct a stress corrosion
cracking assessment (SCCDA) of the special permit segments to evaluate where the risk of
stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is present. TGP will be required to implement a plan to
improve cathodic protection reliability and perform inspections for SCC during excavations.
PHMSA-2016-0004 – Tennessee Pipeline Gas Company, LLC Special Permit Analysis and Findings
Page 5 of 20

<<<PAGE 6>>>

• To further address pipe manufacturing, material, construction, pipe coating, SCCDA, and
possible pipe leak issues, this special permit will include conditions requiring TGP to
treat all special permit segments as “covered segments” in an HCA per 49 CFR 192.903.
• TGP will also be required to perform ILI assessments, anomaly repairs, close interval
surveys, identify any pipeline segment that may be susceptible to pipe seam issues
because of the vintage of the pipe, the manufacturing process of the pipe, or other issues
and stress corrosion cracking direct assessment (SCCDA) along the entire length of the
special permit inspection areas and special permit segments according to the
requirements of 49 CFR 192.929 after the grant of this special permit.
• This special permit will include a condition that TGP must continue to operate each
special permit segment at or below its existing MAOP.
PHMSA has determined that imposing the special permit conditions will address these concerns
and provide equivalent safety for these areas.
Operational Integrity Compliance:
To inform PHMSA’s decision about whether a special permit could provide a level of safety
greater than or equal to a pipe replacement or pressure reduction and is consistent with pipeline
safety, PHMSA reviewed this special permit request to understand the known type of integrity
threats that are in the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas. This
integrity information was used to consider special permit conditions to provide a systematic
program to review and remediate the pipeline for safety concerns. Additional operational
integrity review and remediation requirements are required by this special permit to ensure that
the operator has an ongoing program to locate and remediate safety threats. These threats to
integrity and safety include any issues with the pipe coating quality, cathodic protection
effectiveness, operations damage prevention program, pipe depth of soil cover, weld seam and
girth weld integrity, anomalies in the pipe steel and welds, and material and structures either
along or near the pipeline that could cause the cathodic protection system to be ineffective.
PHMSA has carefully designed a comprehensive set of conditions that TGP must implement to
comply with this special permit.

Findings:
Based on the information submitted by TGP and PHMSA’s analysis of the technical, operational,
and safety issues, PHMSA finds that granting this special permit with conditions that requires
TGP to operate the 162 special permit segments on the 20-inch diameter, 24-inch diameter, 26-
inch diameter, 30-inch diameter, 31-inch diameter, and 36-inch diameter Pipelines located in
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Texas, and West Virginia at their current MAOP for a Class 1 to Class 3 location change
segment is not inconsistent with pipeline safety.
PHMSA has designed the special permit conditions to effectively assess and remediate threats to
the special permit segments and special permit inspection areas, including pressure testing,
obtaining pipe material records, and conducting assessments to evaluate pipe girth welds that
have not been non-destructively tested, any pipe with missing material records, and SCC. To
ensure TGP properly implements the special permit conditions, TGP will be required to give
PHMSA an annual review of their compliance with the special permit.
PHMSA finds the issuance and full implementation of this special permit that waives the
requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and (d) and 192.619(a) for a class location change to a Class
3 location is not inconsistent with pipeline safety. This special permit requires TGP to
implement the special permit conditions that include safety requirements on the operations,
maintenance, and integrity management of the special permit segments and the special permit
inspection areas. TGP will be required to implement the special permit conditions along the

high consequence areas and would not normally be required by 49 CFR Part 192 to be assessed
on a periodic interval for threats.
