CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Mr. Pete Kirsch
Sr. VP - Pipeline Operations and Engineering
Enable Gas Transmission, LLC

Houston, TX 77002
CPF No. 4-2003-1001H
Dear Mr. Kirsch,
On February 14, 2003, Enable Gas Transmission, LLC (Enable), formerly Centerpoint Energy
Gas Transmission Company, experienced a failure of its Line 4-1-4 12-inch diameter pipeline
approximately 27.33 miles downstream of the Enid Compressor Station in Oklahoma. As a
result of the incident, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
issued a Corrective Action Order (CAO), 4-2003-1001H, dated February 26, 2003, requiring
Enable to take corrective actions with respect to its pipeline system.
The cause of the failure was determined to be selective seam corrosion on the pipeline and
Enable presented a 10 year plan of identification and corrective measures designed to prevent
additional in-service failures. PHMSA monitored the actions taken within the integrity
verification process and reviewed records at Enable’s headquarters. PHMSA has determined that
Enable has substantially completed the requirements of the CAO.
Consequently, PHMSA has closed the CAO, CPF 4-2003-1001H.
Sincerely,
R. M. Seeley
Director, Southwest Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
