FINAL ORDER
Between August 30 and October 2 1,2004, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 8 60 1 17, a representative of the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS)
conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of Respondent's pipeline facilities in North
Dakota and records in Laurel, Montana. As a result of the inspection, the Director, Central
Region, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated January 18,2005, a Notice of Probable
Violation and Proposed Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 8 190.207,
the Notice proposed finding that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. 5 195.404(a) and proposed
ordering Respondent to take certain measures to correct the alleged violation.
Respondent failed to respond to the Notice within 30 days after it received the Notice.
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated April 8,2005 (Response). Respondent did
not contest the allegation of violation, informed OPS that it had revised its maps in accordance
with the Proposed Compliance Order, and submitted copies of its revised maps.
FINDING OF VIOLATION
Respondent did not contest the alleged violation in the Notice. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. $8 190.213
and 190.21 7, I find that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. 8 195.404(a) by failing to maintain
current maps of its pipeline system as more fully described in the Notice.
This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action
taken against Respondent.



COMPLIANCE ORDER
Under 49 U.S.C. § 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids
or who owns or operates a pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety
standards established under chapter 60 1. The Regional Director has indicated that Respondent
has submitted copies of the revised maps in accordance with the Proposed Compliance Order.
Since compliance has been achieved with respect to this violation, it is unnecessary to include
compliance terms in this Order.
The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.
