The Notice proposed finding that Respondent had violated a pipeline safety regulation in 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and proposed a civil penalty of $20,700. Respondent did not contest the allegation of violation or the proposed civil penalty. Based upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find Respondent violated the pipeline safety regulation listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed Notice, which is incorporated by reference: 49 C.F.R. § 195.406(b) (Item 1) ─ Respondent failed to ensure the pressure in a pipeline during surges or other variations from normal operations does not exceed 110 percent of the operating pressure limit established under § 195.406(a). This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action taken against Respondent. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.223, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $20,700. Payment of the civil penalty must be made within 20 days of service. Federal regulations (49 C.F.R. § 89.21(b)(3)) require such payment to be made by wire transfer through the Federal Reserve Communications System (Fedwire), to the account of the U.S. Treasury.
