On October 4, 2021, 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 (Respondent). The Notice proposed finding that Respondent had violated
the pipeline safety regulations in 49 C.F.R. Part 192. The Notice also proposed certain measures
to correct the violations. Enable Midstream Partners, LP, on behalf of Respondent, replied to the
Notice and did not contest the allegations of violation or corrective measures.
Based upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find Respondent violated the
pipeline safety regulations listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed Notice, which is
incorporated by reference:
49 C.F.R. § 192.481(c) (Item 1) ─ Respondent failed to provide protection
against atmospheric corrosion found during inspections as required by § 192.479.
49 C.F.R. § 192.739(a) (Item 2) ─ Respondent failed to inspect and test each
pressure limiting station, relief device (except rupture discs), and pressure
regulating station and its equipment at intervals not exceeding 15 months, but at
least once each calendar year.
49 C.F.R. § 192.619(a) (Item 3) ─ Respondent failed to operate a segment of steel
or plastic pipeline at a pressure that did not exceed a maximum allowable
operating pressure determined under paragraph (c), (d), or (e) of this section, or the
lowest of the alternatives presented by subparts (1) through (4) of § 192.619(a).
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent.
