FINAL ORDER
On December 3, 2003, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, the Director, Southwest Region,
Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), issued to Respondent a Notice of Probable Violation and
Proposed Civil Penalty (Notice). The Notice proposed finding that Respondent had committed
violations of 49 C.F.R. Part 192 and proposed assessing a civil penalty of $70,000 for the alleged
violations. Respondent responded to the Notice by submitting a wire transfer in the amount of
the proposed civil penalty ($70,000), waiving further right to respond and authorizing the entry
of this Final Order.
Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 190.213 and 49 U.S.C. § 60122, I find that Respondent violated the
following sections of 49 C.F.R. Part 192, as more fully described in the Notice:
49 C.F.R. § 192.475 - failing to investigate the effect of corrosive gas transported by
pipeline and take steps to minimize internal corrosion.
49 C.F.R. § 192.477 - failing to check five internal corrosion coupons at intervals not
exceeding 7½ months, but at least twice each calendar year.
49 C.F.R. § 192.605 - failing to review and update Respondent's manual of written
procedures at intervals not exceeding 15 months, but at least once each calendar year.
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent. Having reviewed the record and considered the assessment
criteria, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $70,000, already paid by Respondent. The terms
and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.
