O. Box 22186, Mail Drop 27\nTulsa, OK 74172\nCPF 4-2014-5036W\nDear Mr. Pearson:\nOn March 31 – April 4, 2014, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety\nAdministration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49\nUnited States Code inspected your Control Room Management Program in Tulsa, Oklahoma.\nAs a result of the inspection, it appears that you have committed § 195.446(a) of the Pipeline\nSafety Regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. The items inspected and the probable\nviolation(s) are:\n1. § 195.446 Control room management.\n(a) General. This section applies to each operator of a pipeline facility with a\ncontroller working in a control room who monitors and controls all or part of a\npipeline facility through a SCADA system. Each operator must have and follow\nwritten control room management procedures that implement the requirements\nof this section…\nMagellan did not follow its written control room management procedures by not documenting\ntheir controller’s simulator training which was provided on August 23, 2013. Magellan stated\n\n\n\nthat because of the addition of nine new pump stations and the modification of two pump stations\non the Longhorn pipeline; controllers were provided simulator training due to the changes in\noperational parameters. This training was not documented by the operator.\nMagellan’s Operations Control Training Procedure – 9.02-ADM-083, section 3.1.5\nstates:\n“The Controller Trainee shall document attendance at training sessions on the\nTraining Attendance Roster.”\nThere was no Training Attendance Roster for the Longhorn simulator training.\nCorrespondence with operator after inspection indicated that the procedure will be\nrevised to designate the event Trainer as the responsible party to ensure all training is\ndocumented, and will provide the documentation to the Application Analyst for record\nretention.\nUnder 49 United States Code, § 60122, you are subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $200,000\nper violation per day the violation persists up to a maximum of $2,000,000 for a related series of\nviolations. For violations occurring prior to January 4, 2012, the maximum penalty may not\nexceed $100,000 per violation per day, with a maximum penalty not to exceed $1,000,000 for a\nrelated series of violations. We have reviewed the circumstances and supporting documents\ninvolved in this case, and have decided not to conduct additional enforcement action or penalty\nassessment proceedings at this time. We advise you to correct the item(s) identified in this letter.\nFailure to do so will result in Magellan 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 4-2014-5036W. Be advised that all material you submit in response to this enforcement\naction is subject to being made publicly available.
