CPF 4-2019-5013M
Dear Mr. Bacon:
From January 22, 2018 through August 31, 2018, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected
Enterprise Products Operating LLC’s (Enterprise) procedures for Integrity Management in Houston,
Texas.
On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified an apparent inadequacy found within Enterprise
Products Operating LLC’s plans or procedures, as described below:
1. §195.3 What documents are incorporated by reference partly or wholly in this part?
(b) American Petroleum Institute (API), 1220 L Street NW., Washington, DC 20005, and
phone: 202-682-8000, Web site: http://api.org/.

Strength of Corroded Pipelines,” 2004, (ASME/ANSI B31G), IBR approved for
§§195.452(h); 195.587; and 195.588(c).



(3) ASME/ANSI B31.4-2006, “Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons
and Other Liquids” October 20, 2006, (ASME/ANSI B31.4), IBR approved for §§195.110(a);

(3) NACE SP0102-2010, “Standard Practice, Inline Inspection of Pipelines” revised March
13, 2010, (NACE SP0102), IBR approved for §195.591.
Enterprise’s written Integrity Management Procedures IM Procedure 4-01 Rev. A date 9/22/2017 and
IM Procedure 4-02 Rev. A date 9/22/2017 were inadequate because they did not include the editions of
the recognized industry practices and standards that are incorporated by reference in §195.3.
During the inspection Enterprise provided IM Procedure 4-01 Rev. A date 9/22/2017 (ILI DATA
ANALYSIS AND REPORTING PROCEDURE) Section 4.2 Industry References and IM Procedure 4-
01 Rev. A date 9/22/2017 (ILI REPORT ANALYSIS PROCEDURE FOR HCAS) Section 3.2 Industry
References. Both procedures included a list of all industry references, listed below, without the editions
incorporated by reference in §195.3.
API 1160 – Managing System Integrity for Hazardous Liquid Pipelines
API 1163 – In-Line Inspection Systems Qualification Standard
API 1176 – Recommended Practice for Assessment and Management of Cracking in Pipelines
ASME B31G – Manual for Determining the Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines
ASME B31.4 – 2006 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and Other Liquids
ASME B31.8S – Managing System Integrity of Gas Pipelines Responses To Integrity Assessments and
Mitigation (Repair And Prevention) – Section 7, Figure 4.
ASNT ILI-PQ – In-line Inspection Personnel Qualification and Certification
NACE SP0102 – In-Line Inspection of Pipelines
Enterprise submitted revisions to both IM Procedure 4-01 and 4-02 on May 14, 2019, updating the
procedures to include the references with the correct incorporated by reference date. No further revisions
are necessary at this time.
