President 803 Highway 212 South Laurel, MT 59044 Re: CPF 3-2021-5005M Dear Mr. Brown: From April 30, 2018, through August 17, 2018, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected Jayhawk Pipeline, LLC’s (Jayhawk) written operations and maintenance (O&M) procedures in McPherson, Kansas. As a result of the inspection, Jayhawk was issued a Notice of Amendment on February 9, 2021, which proposed amendment of your procedures. Jayhawk submitted its amended procedures on March 10, 2021. My staff 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 this case is now closed. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Gregory A.

President 803 Highway 212 South Laurel, MT 59044 CPF 3-2021-5005M Dear Mr. Brown: From April 30, 2018, through August 17, 2018, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected Jayhawk Pipeline, LLC’s (Jayhawk) written operations and maintenance (O&M) procedures in McPherson, Kansas. On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacies found within Jayhawk’s plans or procedures, as described below: 1. § 195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies. (a)… (c) Maintenance and normal operations. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this section must include procedures for the following to provide safety during maintenance and normal operations: (3) Operating, maintaining, and repairing the pipeline system in accordance with each of the requirements of this subpart and subpart H of this part. 2. 3. Jayhawk’s procedure 813.1(c) for Tank Construction, Repair and Maintenance, effective February 2, 2018, fails to adequately reference the correct edition of the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard (Std.) 650 as required by § 195.132(b)(3). Specifically, Jayhawk procedure 813.1(c) for Tank Construction, Repair and Maintenance, effective February 2, 2018, does not reference API Std. 650, “Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage,” 11th edition, June 2007, effective February 1, 2012, (including addendum 1 (November 2008), addendum 2 (November 2009), addendum 3 (August 2011), and errata (October 2011)). Therefore, Jayhawk must amend its procedure to adequately reference the correct version of API 650. § 195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies. (a)… (c) Maintenance and normal operations. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this section must include procedures for the following to provide safety during maintenance and normal operations: (3) Operating, maintaining, and repairing the pipeline system in accordance with each of the requirements of this subpart and subpart H of this part. Jayhawk’s procedure 813.1(a) for Tank Construction, Repair and Maintenance, effective February 2, 2018, fails to adequately reference the correct edition of API Recommended Practice (RP) 2350 that is required by § 195.428(c). Specifically, Jayhawk procedure 813.1(a) for design and construction of aboveground breakout tanks, effective February 2, 2018, does not reference API Recommended Practice 2350, “Overfill Protection for Storage Tanks in Petroleum Facilities,” 3rd edition, January 2005. Therefore, Jayhawk must amend its procedure to adequately reference the correct version of API RP 2350. § 195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies. (a)… (c) Maintenance and normal operations. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this section must include procedures for the following to provide safety during maintenance and normal operations: (3) Operating, maintaining, and repairing the pipeline system in accordance with each of the requirements of this subpart and subpart H of this part. Jayhawk’s procedure 813.1(e) for Tank Construction, Repair and Maintenance, effective February 2, 2018, fails to adequately reference the correct edition of API Std 653 that is required by § 195.432(b). 2 Specifically, Jayhawk procedure 813.1(e) for design and construction of aboveground breakout tanks, effective February 2, 2018, does not reference API Standard 653, “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction,” 3rd edition, December 2001, (including addendum 1 (September 2003), addendum 2 (November 2005), addendum 3 (February 2008), and errata (April 2008)). Therefore, Jayhawk must amend its procedure to adequately reference the correct version of API Std 653. 4. § 195.452 Pipeline integrity management in high consequence areas. (a) . . . (f) What are the elements of an integrity management program? An integrity management program begins with the initial framework. An operator must continually change the program to reflect operating experience, conclusions drawn from results of the integrity assessments, and other maintenance and surveillance data, and evaluation of consequences of a failure on the high consequence area. An operator must include, at minimum, each of the following elements in its written integrity management program: (4) Criteria for remedial actions to address integrity issues raised by the assessment methods and information analysis (see paragraph (h) of this section); Jayhawk’s Integrity Management (IM) procedures failed to properly define the criteria for remedial action as required by § 195.452(h)(4)(iii)(D). Specifically, Jayhawk’s IM Procedure for 180-day repair conditions procedure 5.6.3.4, effective June 15, 2017, incorrectly states that the remaining strength of the pipe is less than ‘maximum operating pressure’ (MOP) at the anomaly instead of the ‘operating pressure.’ Therefore, Jayhawk must amend its procedure to adequately define a 180-day repair condition.
