FINAL ORDER
On November 3, 2020, pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, the Director, Southwest Region, Office
of Pipeline Safety (OPS), issued a Notice of Probable Violation (Notice) to Enable Gas
Transmission, LLC (EGT or Respondent). The Notice proposed finding that EGT had violated
one of the pipeline safety regulations in 49 C.F.R. Part 192. The Notice also proposed certain
measures to correct the violation. Respondent did not contest the allegation of violation or the
corrective measures.
Based upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find that Respondent
violated the pipeline safety regulation listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed
Notice, which is incorporated by reference:
49 C.F.R. § 192.631(f) (Item 1) ─ Respondent failed to coordinate with control
room personnel prior to initiating field changes that could affect control room
operations.
This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action
taken against Respondent.
COMPLIANCE ORDER
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60118(b) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.217, Respondent is ordered to take the
actions proposed in the enclosed Notice to correct the violation. The Director may grant an
extension of time to comply with any of the required items upon a written request timely
submitted by the Respondent and demonstrating good cause for an extension. Upon completion
of ordered actions, Respondent may request that the Director close the case. Failure to comply
with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties under 49 C.F.R. § 190.223 or in
referral to the Attorney General for appropriate relief in a district court of the United States.
