The Notice proposed finding that Respondent had violated the pipeline safety regulations in 49 C.F.R. Part 195. The Notice also proposed certain measures to correct the violation. Respondent did not contest the allegations of violation or corrective measures. Based upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find Respondent violated the pipeline safety regulations listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed Notice, which is incorporated by reference: 49 C.F.R. § 195.446(a) (Item 2) ─ Respondent failed to follow its written control room management procedures. Specifically, the Notice alleged that Respondent failed to follow its Control Room Management Plan, dated December 16, 2021, section 6.6 regarding monitoring the content and volume of general activity being directed to and required of each operator to ensure operators have sufficient time to analyze and react to incoming alarms. These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement action taken against Respondent. Compliance Actions Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60118(b) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.217, Respondent is ordered to take the actions proposed in the enclosed Notice to correct the violation. The Director may grant an extension of time to comply with any of the required items upon a written request timely submitted by the Respondent and demonstrating good cause for an extension. Upon completion of the ordered actions, Respondent may request that the Director close the case. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties under 49 C.F.R. § 190.223 or in referral to the Attorney General for appropriate relief in a district court of the United States. Warning Items With respect to Items 1 and 3, the Notice alleged probable violations of 49 C.F.R. §§ 195.446(a) and 195.446(h)(6), respectively, but did not propose a civil penalty or compliance order for these items. Therefore, these are considered to be warning items. If OPS finds a violation of any of these items in a subsequent inspection, Respondent may be subject to future enforcement action. The terms and conditions of this order are effective upon service in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.5. April 11, 2024 ___________________________________ _________________________ Alan K.
