5. This Agreement constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive agreement and
understanding between the Parties with respect to the settlement embodied in this Agreement.
The Parties acknowledge that there are no representations, agreements or understandings relating
to settlement other than those expressly contained in this Agreement, except that the terms of this
Agreement may be construed by reference to the Notice.
6. Nothing in this Agreement affects or relieves Respondent of its responsibility to
comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal pipeline safety laws, 49 U.S.C. § 60101,
et seq., and the regulations and orders issued thereunder. Nothing in this Agreement alters
PHMSA's right of access, entry, inspection, and information gathering or PHMSA's authority to



bring enforcement actions against Respondent pursuant to the Federal pipeline safety laws, the
regulations and orders issued thereunder, or any other provision of Federal or State law.

any kind as evidence or proof of any fact, fault or liability, or as evidence of a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, or requirement, except in a proceeding to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement or in future PHMSA enforcement actions.
II. Findings of Violation:
11. Item 1 - 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(e)(l)(i): The Notice alleged Magellan failed to base
its assessment schedule on all the risk factors that affected the risk conditions of its pipeline.
Specifically, the Notice alleged that Respondent failed to consider (1) the actual corrosion
growth rate, and (2) the defect type and size that the assessment method it used could detect.
Respondent does not contest the allegation of violation as alleged in the Notice. As such,
PHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(e)(l)(i).
12. Item 1 will be considered by PHMSA as a prior offense in any future PHMSA
enforcement action taken against Respondent.
III. Civil Penalty:
13. Item 1: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $297,900
for Item 1. Respondent requested a reduction of the proposed civil penalty. PHMSA agrees that a
reduction to the proposed civil penalty is appropriate. During informal discussion with the
operator, PHMSA received information demonstrating that Respondent had a reasonable
justification for its non-compliance. Therefore, a good faith credit is warranted. Additional



information showed that the violation was not a causal factor in the reportable incident.
Therefore, an adjustment to the gravity criterion is warranted, to "The violation occurred within
an HCA or 'could affect' HCA, or within an area required to be covered by a gas distribution
system integrity management program; or the violation is against 49 CFR 193."2 Respondent
agrees to pay a reduced civil penalty in the amount of $50,200 for the violation in Item 1.
14. Respondent will pay a total reduced civil penalty in the amount of $50,200,
pursuant to the payment instructions at 49 C.F.R. § 190.227(a), to be paid in full no later than 20
days from the Effective Date of this Agreement.
IV. Compliance Order:
15. Item 1: The Notice proposed certain compliance order actions to address the non-
compliance alleged in the Notice. Respondent did not contest the Proposed Compliance Order.
However, during the informal discussion, the Parties agreed to a modification of the corrective
measures. As modified, Respondent agrees to perform the following:
Magellan must revise its integrity management program to (I) enhance its considerations
for the risk of accelerated corrosion growth of known individual defects and, within 30
days ofreceipt of the Consent Order, provide the changes to the program to the Director,
PHMSA Central Region and (2) complete the ongoing integrity assessment and required
repairs associated with the recent inline inspection method conducted on May 1, 2024 that
was established based on the defect type and size that lead to the failure of its #3-8" Paola-
Kansas City Pipeline on March 29, 2022, within 1 year ofreceipt of the Consent Order.
Magellan must provide quarterly updates of its progress towards the corrective measures
until their completion. The first quarterly update will be due 90 days after receipt of the
Consent Order and then every 90 days thereafter.
V. Enforcement:
16. This Agreement is subject to all enforcement authorities available to PHMSA
under 49 U.S.C. § 60101, et seq., and 49 C.F.R. Part 190, including administrative civil penalties
under 49 U.S.C. § 60122, of up to $266,015 per violation for each day the violation continues and
referral of the case to the Attorney General for judicial enforcement, if PHMSA determines that
Respondent is not complying with the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the
determinations made by the Director, or in accordance with decisions of the Associate
Administrator if resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution process herein. The maximum civil
penalty amounts are adjusted annually for inflation. See 49 C.F.R. § 190.223. All work plans and
associated schedules set forth or referenced in Section IV are automatically incorporated into this
Agreement and are enforceable in the same manner.
VI. Review and Approval Process:
17. With respect to any submission under Section IV (Compliance Order) of this
Agreement that requires the approval of the Director, the Director may: (a) approve, in whole or
2 Violation Report, CPF No. 3-2024-052-NOPV, Part E6 - Gravity (July 3, 2024).



in part, the submission; (b) approve the submission on specified, reasonable conditions; (c)
disapprove, in whole or in part, the submission; or (d) any combination of the foregoing. If the
Director approves, approves in part, or approves with conditions, Respondent will take all
actions as approved by the Director, subject to Respondent's right to invoke the dispute
resolution procedures with respect to any conditions the Director identifies. If the Director
disapproves all or any portion of the submission, the Director will provide Respondent a written
notice of the deficiencies. Respondent will correct all deficiencies within the time specified by
the Director and resubmit it for approval.
VII. Dispute Resolution:
18. The Director and Respondent will informally attempt to resolve any disputes
arising under this Agreement, including any decision of the Director under the terms of Section
IV (Compliance Order). If Respondent and the Director are unable to informally resolve the
dispute within 15 calendar days after the dispute is first raised, in writing, to the Director,
Respondent may submit a written request for a determination resolving the dispute from the
Associate Administrator. Such request must be made in writing and provided to the Director,
counsel for the Central Region, and to the Associate Administrator, no later than 10 calendar
days from the 15-day deadline for informal resolution referenced in this paragraph. Along with
its request, Respondent must provide the Associate Administrator with all information
Respondent believes is relevant to the dispute. Decisions of the Associate Administrator under
this paragraph will constitute final agency action. The existence of a dispute and PHMSA's
consideration of matters placed in dispute will not excuse, toll, or suspend any term or timeframe
for completion of any work to be performed under this Agreement during the pendency of the
dispute resolution process.
VIII. Effective Date:
19. The term "Effective Date," as used herein, is the date on which the Consent Order
is issued by the Associate Administrator incorporating the terms of this Agreement.
IX. Recordkeeping and Information Disclosure:
20. Unless otherwise required in this Agreement, Respondent agrees to maintain
records demonstrating compliance with all requirements of this Agreement for a period of at
least five (5) years following completion of all work to be performed, unless a longer period of
time is required pursuant to 49 C.F.R. parts 190-199. For any reports, plans, or other deliverables
required to be submitted to PHMSA pursuant to this Agreement, Respondent may assert a claim
of business confidentiality or other protections applicable to the release of information by
PHMSA, covering part or all of the information required to be submitted to PHMSA pursuant to
this Agreement in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 7. Respondent must mark the claim of
confidentiality in writing on each page, and include a statement specifying the grounds for each
claim of confidentially. PHMSA determines release of any information submitted pursuant to
this Agreement in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 7, the Freedom oflnformation Act, 5 U.S.C. §
552, DOT and PHMSA policies, and other applicable regulations and Executive Orders.



X. Modification:
21. The terms of this Agreement may be modified by mutual agreement of the Parties.
Such modifications must be in writing and signed by both parties.
XI. Termination:
22. This Agreement will remain in effect until the Compliance Order in Section IV is
satisfied, as determined by the Director, and the civil penalty is paid in full. The Agreement shall
not terminate until the Director confirms, in writing, that the Agreement is terminated in
accordance with this paragraph. Nothing in this Agreement prevents Respondent from
completing any of the obligations earlier than the deadlines provided for in this Agreement.
XV. Ratification:
23. The Parties' undersigned representatives certify that they are fully authorized to
enter into the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to execute and legally bind such party
