The Notice proposed finding that\nRespondent had violated the pipeline safety regulations in 49 C.F.R. Part 195. The Notice also\nproposed certain measures to correct the violation. Respondent did not contest the allegations of\nviolation or corrective measures.\nBased upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find Respondent violated the\npipeline safety regulations listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed Notice, which is\nincorporated by reference:\n49 C.F.R. § 195.446(a) (Item 2) ─ Respondent failed to follow its written control\nroom management procedures. Specifically, the Notice alleged that Respondent\nfailed to follow its Control Room Management Plan, dated December 16, 2021,\nsection 6.6 regarding monitoring the content and volume of general activity being\ndirected to and required of each operator to ensure operators have sufficient time to\nanalyze and react to incoming alarms.\nThese findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement\naction taken against Respondent.\nCompliance Actions\nPursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60118(b) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.217, Respondent is ordered to take the\nactions proposed in the enclosed Notice to correct the violation. The Director may grant an\nextension of time to comply with any of the required items upon a written request timely\n\n\n\nsubmitted by the Respondent and demonstrating good cause for an extension. Upon completion\nof the ordered actions, Respondent may request that the Director close the case. Failure to\ncomply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties under 49 C.F.R. § 190.223\nor in referral to the Attorney General for appropriate relief in a district court of the United States.\nWarning Items\nWith respect to Items 1 and 3, the Notice alleged probable violations of 49 C.F.R. §§ 195.446(a)\nand 195.446(h)(6), respectively, but did not propose a civil penalty or compliance order for these\nitems. Therefore, these are considered to be warning items. If OPS finds a violation of any of\nthese items in a subsequent inspection, Respondent may be subject to future enforcement action.\nThe terms and conditions of this order are effective upon service in accordance with 49 C.F.R.\n§ 190.5.\nApril 11, 2024\n___________________________________ _________________________\nAlan K.
