ORDER DIRECTING AMENDMENT
During March 6-7, 2002, representatives of the Western and Southern Regions, Office of Pipeline
Safety (OPS), inspected ChevronTexaco Pipeline Company's (Respondent) integrity management
program at Respondent's facility in Houston, Texas. As a result of the inspection, the Southern
Regional Director, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated May 6, 2002, a Notice of Amendment
(NOA). The NOA alleged inadequacies in Respondent's integrity management program and
proposed to require amendment of Respondent's procedures to comply with the requirements of
49 C. F. R. ( 195. 452(b).
Respondent responded to the NOA by letter dated June 4, 2002. Respondent did not contest the
allegations set forth in the NOA and did not request a hearing; consequently, Respondent waived its
right to one. However, Respondent described the actions it is taking to address the inadequacies in
its procedures that were identified in the NOA.
Accordingly, I find that Respondent's integrity management program procedures are inadequate to
ensure safe operation of its pipeline system. Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. $ 60108(a) and 49 C. F. R.
f 190. 237, Respondent is ordered to make the following changes to its integrity management
program procedures. Respondent must-
1. Amend the procedures for identifying segments that could affect a high consequence area
to consider spill volumes, and topographic features and other factors that may transport
a product more than I/4 mile.
2. Apply the five-mile off shore buffer described in Respondent's integrity management
framework to ecological shoreline unusually sensitive areas.
3. Submit the amended procedures to the Regional Director, Southern Region, OPS within
30 days aller receipt of this Order Directing Amendment.



4. The Regional Director may extend the period for complying with the required items if the
Respondent requests an extension and adequately justifies the reasons for the extension.
The terms and conditions of this Order Directing Amendment are effective upon receipt.
Failure to comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25, 000 per
violation per day, or in the referral of the case for judicial enforcement.
