As a result of the inspection, the Southern\nRegional Director, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated May 6, 2002, a Notice of Amendment\n(NOA). The NOA alleged inadequacies in Respondent's integrity management program and\nproposed to require amendment of Respondent's procedures to comply with the requirements of\n49 C. F. R. ( 195. 452(b).\nRespondent responded to the NOA by letter dated June 4, 2002. Respondent did not contest the\nallegations set forth in the NOA and did not request a hearing; consequently, Respondent waived its\nright to one. However, Respondent described the actions it is taking to address the inadequacies in\nits procedures that were identified in the NOA.\nAccordingly, I find that Respondent's integrity management program procedures are inadequate to\nensure safe operation of its pipeline system. Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. $ 60108(a) and 49 C. F. R.\nf 190. 237, Respondent is ordered to make the following changes to its integrity management\nprogram procedures. Respondent must-\n1. Amend the procedures for identifying segments that could affect a high consequence area\nto consider spill volumes, and topographic features and other factors that may transport\na product more than I/4 mile.\n2. Apply the five-mile off shore buffer described in Respondent's integrity management\nframework to ecological shoreline unusually sensitive areas.\n3. Submit the amended procedures to the Regional Director, Southern Region, OPS within\n30 days aller receipt of this Order Directing Amendment.\n\n\n\n4. The Regional Director may extend the period for complying with the required items if the\nRespondent requests an extension and adequately justifies the reasons for the extension.\nThe terms and conditions of this Order Directing Amendment are effective upon receipt.\nFailure to comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25, 000 per\nviolation per day, or in the referral of the case for judicial enforcement.\nOCT 23 2002\ngtacey'Gerard\nAssociate Administrator\nfor Pipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":4136}
