The items inspected and the inadequacies are described below:\n1. § 193.2441 Control center.\nEach LNG plant must have a control center from which operations\nand warning devices are monitored as required by this part. A control\ncenter must have the following capabilities and characteristics:\n(a) . . . .\n(c) Each control center must have personnel in continuous\nattendance while any of the components under its control are in\noperation, unless the control is being performed from another control\ncenter which has personnel in continuous attendance.\nEagle LNG’s written procedures for conducting operations and maintenance activities were\ninadequate to assure safe operation of a pipeline facility in accordance with § 193.2441(c).\nSpecifically, Eagle LNG’s Operational Procedures Manual, EAG-OPS-001, (Rev. 2; June 22,\n2023), section 4.0, failed to explicitly require continuous attendance in the control center. Eagle\nLNG must revise its procedure to require continuous attendance in the control center in accordance\nwith § 193.2441(c).\n\n\n\n2. § 193.2605 Maintenance procedures.\n(a) . . . .\n(b) Each operator shall follow one or more manuals of written\nprocedures for the maintenance of each component, including any\nrequired corrosion control. The procedures must include:\n(1) The details of the inspections or tests determined under\nparagraph (a) of this section and their frequency of performance; and\n(2) A description of other actions necessary to maintain the LNG\nplant according to the requirements of this subpart.\n§ 193.2637 Remedial measures.\nPrompt corrective or remedial action must be taken whenever an\noperator learns by inspection or otherwise that atmospheric, external,\nor internal corrosion is not controlled as required by this subpart.\nEagle LNG’s written procedures for conducting operations and maintenance activities were\ninadequate to assure safe operation of a pipeline facility in accordance with § 193.2605(b).\nSpecifically, Eagle LNG’s Maintenance Procedures Manual, EAG-MPM-01, (Rev. 1; Apr. 15,\n2023), section 22.0, failed to ensure prompt corrective or remedial action is taken whenever an\noperator learns by inspection or otherwise that atmospheric, external, or internal corrosion is not\ncontrolled as required by Part 193, Subpart G in accordance with § 193.2637 because it did not\ndefine “prompt” with a specific time frame for the completion of corrective or remedial actions.\nEagle LNG must revise its procedure to define “prompt” with a specific time frame for the\ncompletion of corrective or remedial actions in accordance with §§ 193.2605(b) and 193.2637.\nResponse to this Notice\nThis Notice is provided pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60108(a) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.206.
