As a result of the inspection, the Director, Southwest Region,\nissued to Respondent, by letter dated May 3 1,2006, a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed\nCompliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 8 190.207, the Notice proposed\nfinding that Respondent had violated 49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(0(6) and proposed ordering\nRespondent to take certain measures to correct the alleged violations.\nRespondent responded to the Notice by letter dated June 21, 2006. Respondent did not contest\nthe allegations of violation and committed to complying with the proposed compliance order.\nBy letter dated July 3 1,2006, Respondent submitted documentation to evidence compliance with\nthe proposed compliance order. Respondent did not request a hearing, and therefore has waived\nits right to one.\nFINDINGS OF VIOLATION\nIn its Response, Respondent did not contest the violations alleged in the Notice. Accordingly, I\nfind that Respondent violated the following provisions of 49 C.F.R. Part 195, concerning\npreventative and mitigative measures, as more fully described in the Notice:\n49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(0(6) and (i)(3) - failing to evaluate the leak detection capabilities\nfor each pipeline segment covered by Respondent's IMP and modify the capabilities, as\nnecessary, to protect a high consequence area (HCA); and\n49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(0(6) and (i)(4) -failing to determine the need for emergency flow\nrestricting devices for each pipeline segment covered by Respondent's IMP to protect an\nHCA in the event of a pipeline release.\n\n\n\nThese findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement\naction taken against Respondent.\nCOMPLIANCE ORDER\nThe Notice proposed a compliance order with respect to the violations. Under 49 U.S.C.\n9 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids by pipeline or\nwho owns or operates a hazardous liquid pipeline facility is required to comply with the\napplicable safety standards established under Chapter 601. The Director, Southwest Region, has\nreviewed the corrective action taken by Respondent and has indicated that the corrective action\nhas achieved compliance with respect to these violations. Accordingly, since compliance has\nbeen achieved, it is not necessary to include the compliance terms in this order. The terms and\ncond' ions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.\nA\nDate Issued\n~ctbq@ssociate Administrator\nfor ipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":4415}
