P. , ) ) Respondent ) CPF No. 5-2002-5009 ORDER DIRECTING AMENDMENT During March 12-13, representatives of the Western and Southwestern Regions, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), inspected Plains All American's (Respondent) integrity management program at Respondent's facility in Cushing, Oklahoma. As a result of the inspection, the Western Regional Director, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated April 17, 2002, a Notice of Amendment (NOA). The NOA alleged inadequacies in Respondent's integrity management program and proposed to require amendment of Respondent's procedures to comply with the requirements of 49 C. F. R. $ 195. 452(b). Respondent responded to the NOA by letter dated April 29, 2002. Respondent did not contest the allegations set forth in the NOA and did not request a hearing; consequently, Respondent waived its right to one. However, Respondent described the actions it is taking to address the inadequacies in its procedures that were identified in the NOA. Accordingly, I find that Respondent's integrity management program procedures are inadequate to ensure safe operation of its pipeline system. Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. $ 60108(a) and 49 C. F R. f 190. 237, Respondent is ordered to make the following changes to its integrity management program procedures. Respondent must- 1. Amend its procedures for identifying pipeline segments that could affect high consequence areas to consider spill migration via overland transports or waterways. 2. Submit the amended procedures to the Regional Director, Western Region, OPS within 30 days after receipt of this Order Directing Amendment. 3. The Regional Director may extend the period for complying with the required items if the Respondent requests an extension and adequately justifies the reasons for the extension.#
