As a result of the inspection, Murphy was issued a Notice of Amendment on July 25, 2011, which proposed amendment of their procedures. Subsequent to the inspection, Calumet Specialty Products Partners, LP (Calumet) acquired Murphy Oil’s refinery and associated assets (including a PHMSA-regulated pipeline that is the subject of this Notice) on September 30, 2011. Murphy submitted its amended procedures on August 25, 2011. Calumet provided additional amendments on July 22, 2013. My staff has reviewed the amended procedures and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of Amendment have been corrected. This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and that this case is now closed. Thank you for your cooperation.
