P.\n, )\n)\nRespondent\n)\nCPF No. 5-2002-5009\nORDER DIRECTING AMENDMENT\nDuring March 12-13, representatives of the Western and Southwestern Regions, Office of Pipeline\nSafety (OPS), inspected Plains All American's (Respondent) integrity management program at\nRespondent's facility in Cushing, Oklahoma. As a result of the inspection, the Western Regional\nDirector, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated April 17, 2002, a Notice of Amendment (NOA).\nThe NOA alleged inadequacies in Respondent's integrity management program and proposed to\nrequire amendment of Respondent's procedures to comply with the requirements of 49 C. F. R.\n$ 195. 452(b).\nRespondent responded to the NOA by letter dated April 29, 2002. Respondent did not contest the\nallegations set forth in the NOA and did not request a hearing; consequently, Respondent waived its\nright to one. However, Respondent described the actions it is taking to address the inadequacies in\nits procedures that were identified in the NOA.\nAccordingly, I find that Respondent's integrity management program procedures are inadequate to\nensure safe operation of its pipeline system. Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. $ 60108(a) and 49 C. F R.\nf 190. 237, Respondent is ordered to make the following changes to its integrity management\nprogram procedures. Respondent must-\n1. Amend its procedures for identifying pipeline segments that could affect high\nconsequence areas to consider spill migration via overland transports or waterways.\n2. Submit the amended procedures to the Regional Director, Western Region, OPS within\n30 days after receipt of this Order Directing Amendment.\n3. The Regional Director may extend the period for complying with the required items if\nthe Respondent requests an extension and adequately justifies the reasons for the\nextension.\n\n\n\nThe terms and conditions of this Order Directing Amendment are effective upon receipt.\nFailure to comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25, 000 per\nviolation per day, or in the referral of the case for judicial enforcement.\nOCT 23 2002\nDate\nacey Gerard\nQ Associate Administrator\nfor Pipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":3960}
