The item inspected and the\nprobable violation is:\n$195.49 Annual report\nBeginning no later than June 15, 2005, each operator must annually complete and\nsubmit DOT form RSPA F 7000-1.1 for each type of hazardous liquid pipeline\nfacility operated at the end of the previous year. A separate report is required for\ncrude oil, HVL (including anhydrous ammonia), petroleum products, and carbon\ndioxide pipelines. Operators are encouraged, but not required, to file an annual\nreport by June 15,2004, for calendar year 2003.\nIncluded in the integrity assessment data reviewed by the Inspection Team was an\nanomaly that met immediate repair criteria and was remediated as part of a confirmatory\ndig within a short period of time but was not classified as an immediate condition. The\nclassification of this anomaly as \"confirmatory dig\" rather than \"immediate condition\" in\nCollins' internal tracking system results in a failure to accurately trend and report\n\n\n\nanomalies that meet the immediate repair criteria. Collins should ensure that immediate\nconditions are identified as such and included in data that is required to be annually\ntransmitted to PHMSA.\nUnder 49 United States Code, § 60122, you are subject to a civil penalty not to exceed\n$100,000 for each violation for each day the violation persists up to a maximum of $1,000,000\nfor any related series of violations. We have reviewed the circumstances and supporting\ndocuments involved in this case, and have decided not to conduct additional enforcement action\nor penalty assessment proceedings at this time. We advise you to correct the items identified in\nthis letter. Failure to do so will result in Collins being subject to additional enforcement action.\nNo reply to this letter is required. If you choose to reply, in your correspondence please refer to\nCPF 4-2007-5028W. Be advised that all material you submit in response to this enforcement\naction is subject to being made publicly available. If you believe that any portion of your\nresponsive material qualifies for confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b), along with the\ncomplete original document you must provide a second copy of the document with the portions\nyou believe qualify for confidential treatment redacted and an explanation of why you believe\nthe redacted information qualifies for confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b).\nSincerely,\nR.M.
