Lucey President and Chief Executive Officer PBF Energy Inc. 1 Sylvan Way, Second Floor Parsippany, New Jersey 07054 CPF 1-2024-005-NOA Dear Mr. Lucey: From July 25, 2022 to July 29, 2022, representatives of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) conducted an on-site inspection of Toledo Refining Company, LLC’s (TRC) procedures and records for control room management of its Woodville Pipeline Control Room in Toledo, Ohio. As a result of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacy found within TRC’s plans or procedures. The item inspected and the inadequacy is described below: 1. § 195.446 Control Room Management. (a) …. (h) Training. Each operator must establish a controller training program and review the training program content to identify potential improvements at least once each calendar year, but at intervals not to exceed 15 months. An operator’s program must provide for training each controller to carry out the roles and responsibilities defined by the operator. In addition, the training program must include the following elements: (1) Responding to abnormal operating conditions likely to occur simultaneously or in sequence; TRC’s control room management training program procedures were inadequate to assure safe operation of a pipeline facility. Specifically, TRC’s training program failed to include elements to train each controller to respond to abnormal operating conditions that are likely to occur simultaneously or in sequence pursuant to § 195.446(h)(1).#

12024005NOA_Notice of Amendment_02152024_(22-233363)_text.pdf, page 2During the inspection, PHMSA requested training procedures and documentation relevant to § 195.446(h)(1). TRC referred to its Control Room Management Manual (CRM Manual), Section 9 Training. This section repeated the regulations but did not provide any training details or a list of abnormal operating conditions likely to occur simultaneously or in sequence. TRC’s training program procedures failed to include elements for responding to abnormal operating conditions that are likely to occur simultaneously or in sequence and, therefore, were inadequate to assure pipeline safety. TRC must revise its procedures to include details of its training program for complying with § 195.446(h)(1).
