On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified apparent inadequacies within Hunt’s written Public Awareness Program procedures, as described below: 1. §195.440 Public awareness. (a) Each pipeline operator must develop and implement a written continuing public education program that follows the guidance provided in the American Petroleum Institute's (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1162 (incorporated by reference, see §195.3). Hunt’s written Public Awareness Program (PAP) procedures listed “Newspaper Ads” as a baseline message material. American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 1162 (API RP 1162), Table 2-1 Summary Public Awareness Communications for Hazardous Liquids and Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Operators states an acceptable method of message delivery is “Targeted distribution of print materials.” While newspaper ads are printed materials, they are not targeted to a specific stakeholder audience. Also, there is no way for an operator to assure or measure receipt of newspaper ads by a given stakeholder audience. PAP baseline messages need to be distributed in a manner that assures the material is received by the intended audience. 2. §195.440 Public awareness. (a) Each pipeline operator must develop and implement a written continuing public education program that follows the guidance provided in the American Petroleum Institute's (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1162 (incorporated by reference, see §195.3). Hunt’s written PAP procedures did not provide for conducting a program effectiveness evaluation for all stakeholder audiences. API RP 1162; Section 8.4 Measuring Program Effectiveness requires a program effectiveness evaluation be conducted for all stakeholder audiences. The Hunt PAP procedures addressed conducting a program effectiveness evaluation for the Affected Public but did not address Emergency Officials, Public Officials and Excavators.

As a result of the inspection, PHMSA issued a Notice of Amendment (NOA) on July 25, 2012. On September 6, 2012, Hunt sent an email to the Southern Region requesting a time extension to respond to the NOA. I granted an extension until October 31, 2012, via return email on the same day. The PHMSA Southern Region received your written response to the NOA dated October 5, 2012. We reviewed the response and find that Hunt’s amended procedures are adequate.

Please be advised that this letter refers only to the NOA (CPF 2-2012-5010M) and not to any other PHMSA pending cases, if any. Also be advised that nothing herein states or implies that the Hunt Public Awareness Program meets the requirements of the federal pipeline safety regulations or that the Public Awareness Program is approved. The pipeline system and Public Awareness Program remain subject to inspection by PHMSA. Sincerely, Wayne T.
