As a result of the inspection, Eagle LNG was issued a Notice of Amendment on August 28, 2024, which proposed amendment of your procedures. Eagle LNG submitted its amended procedures on October 1, 2024. PHMSA reviewed the amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of Amendment have been corrected. This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Bryan Lethcoe Director, Southwest Region, Office of Pipeline Safety Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration cc: Tim Robertson, Director, Operations, timrobertson@eaglelng.com 42024041NOA_Notice of Amendment_08282024_(23-267234)_text.pdf NOTICE OF AMENDMENT VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL TO: seanlalani@eaglelng.com August 28, 2024 Mr. Sean Lalani President Eagle LNG Partners Research Forest Lakeside No. 4 2445 Technology Forest Blvd, Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77381 CPF 4-2024-041-NOA Dear Mr. Lalani: From April 17 to 19, 2023 of the on-site inspection, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) inspected Eagle LNG’s procedures for operating and maintaining the Maxville LNG facility in Jacksonville, FL. As a result of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacies found within Eagle LNG’s plans or procedures. The items inspected and the inadequacies are described below: 1. § 193.2441 Control center. Each LNG plant must have a control center from which operations and warning devices are monitored as required by this part. A control center must have the following capabilities and characteristics: (a) . . . . (c) Each control center must have personnel in continuous attendance while any of the components under its control are in operation, unless the control is being performed from another control center which has personnel in continuous attendance. Eagle LNG’s written procedures for conducting operations and maintenance activities were inadequate to assure safe operation of a pipeline facility in accordance with § 193.2441(c). Specifically, Eagle LNG’s Operational Procedures Manual, EAG-OPS-001, (Rev. 2; June 22, 2023), section 4.0, failed to explicitly require continuous attendance in the control center. Eagle LNG must revise its procedure to require continuous attendance in the control center in accordance with § 193.2441(c). 2. § 193.2605 Maintenance procedures. (a) . . . . (b) Each operator shall follow one or more manuals of written procedures for the maintenance of each component, including any required corrosion control. The procedures must include: (1) The details of the inspections or tests determined under paragraph (a) of this section and their frequency of performance; and (2) A description of other actions necessary to maintain the LNG plant according to the requirements of this subpart. § 193.2637 Remedial measures. Prompt corrective or remedial action must be taken whenever an operator learns by inspection or otherwise that atmospheric, external, or internal corrosion is not controlled as required by this subpart. Eagle LNG’s written procedures for conducting operations and maintenance activities were inadequate to assure safe operation of a pipeline facility in accordance with § 193.2605(b). Specifically, Eagle LNG’s Maintenance Procedures Manual, EAG-MPM-01, (Rev. 1; Apr. 15, 2023), section 22.0, failed to ensure prompt corrective or remedial action is taken whenever an operator learns by inspection or otherwise that atmospheric, external, or internal corrosion is not controlled as required by Part 193, Subpart G in accordance with § 193.2637 because it did not define “prompt” with a specific time frame for the completion of corrective or remedial actions. Eagle LNG must revise its procedure to define “prompt” with a specific time frame for the completion of corrective or remedial actions in accordance with §§ 193.2605(b) and 193.2637.
