Findings of Violation:\n11. Item 1 - 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(e)(l)(i): The Notice alleged Magellan failed to base\nits assessment schedule on all the risk factors that affected the risk conditions of its pipeline.\nSpecifically, the Notice alleged that Respondent failed to consider (1) the actual corrosion\ngrowth rate, and (2) the defect type and size that the assessment method it used could detect.\nRespondent does not contest the allegation of violation as alleged in the Notice. As such,\nPHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(e)(l)(i).\n12. Item 1 will be considered by PHMSA as a prior offense in any future PHMSA\nenforcement action taken against Respondent.\nIII. Civil Penalty:\n13. Item 1: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $297,900\nfor Item 1. Respondent requested a reduction of the proposed civil penalty. PHMSA agrees that a\nreduction to the proposed civil penalty is appropriate. During informal discussion with the\noperator, PHMSA received information demonstrating that Respondent had a reasonable\njustification for its non-compliance. Therefore, a good faith credit is warranted. Additional\n\n\n\ninformation showed that the violation was not a causal factor in the reportable incident.\nTherefore, an adjustment to the gravity criterion is warranted, to \"The violation occurred within\nan HCA or 'could affect' HCA, or within an area required to be covered by a gas distribution\nsystem integrity management program; or the violation is against 49 CFR 193.\"2 Respondent\nagrees to pay a reduced civil penalty in the amount of $50,200 for the violation in Item 1.\n14. Respondent will pay a total reduced civil penalty in the amount of $50,200,\npursuant to the payment instructions at 49 C.F.R. § 190.227(a), to be paid in full no later than 20\ndays from the Effective Date of this Agreement.\nIV. Compliance Order:\n15. Item 1: The Notice proposed certain compliance order actions to address the non-\ncompliance alleged in the Notice. Respondent did not contest the Proposed Compliance Order.\nHowever, during the informal discussion, the Parties agreed to a modification of the corrective\nmeasures. As modified, Respondent agrees to perform the following:\nMagellan must revise its integrity management program to (I) enhance its considerations\nfor the risk of accelerated corrosion growth of known individual defects and, within 30\ndays ofreceipt of the Consent Order, provide the changes to the program to the Director,\nPHMSA Central Region and (2) complete the ongoing integrity assessment and required\nrepairs associated with the recent inline inspection method conducted on May 1, 2024 that\nwas established based on the defect type and size that lead to the failure of its #3-8\" Paola-\nKansas City Pipeline on March 29, 2022, within 1 year ofreceipt of the Consent Order.\nMagellan must provide quarterly updates of its progress towards the corrective measures\nuntil their completion. The first quarterly update will be due 90 days after receipt of the\nConsent Order and then every 90 days thereafter.\nV. Enforcement:\n16.
