Dear Mr. Buchler:
On August 20, 2012, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-
site pipeline safety inspection of Tennessee Gas Pipeline LLC, owned by Kinder Morgan Energy
Partners (Kinder Morgan), procedures in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. As a result of the
inspection, Kinder Morgan/Tennessee Gas was issued a Notice of Amendment on November 2,
2012, which proposed amendment of your procedures.
Kinder Morgan/Tennessee Gas submitted its amended procedures on June 27, 2013. My staff
reviewed the amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of
Amendment have been corrected.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you
for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Byron Coy, PE
Director, Eastern Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
