FINAL ORDER
On August 22,2002, the Director, Southwest Region, Office of Pipeline Safety, issued Respondent a
Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed Civil Penalty (Notice) in accordance with 49 C.F.R.
$ 190.207. The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty of $ 1 0,000 for the alleged violation of
49 C.F.R. g 195.440. Respondent responded by letter dated Septemb er 23, 2002 and did not contest
the allegation or the amount ofthe proposed civil penalty. Respondent submitted a wire transfer in the
amount of the proposed civil penalty ($10,000), waiving further right to respond, and authorizing the
entry of this Final Order.
pursuant to g 190.209(a)(1) and 49 U.S.C. 5 60122,I find that Respondent violated the following
section of 49 C.F.R. Part 195 as described more completely in the Notice:
195.440 - failing to document a continuing education program which should be conducted in
close proximity to the Rancho Pipeline.
This finding will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action against
Respondent. I assess the civil penalty of$10,000, already paid by Respondent'
