According to the OPS Violation Report, ASIG\noperates approximately 6 miles of regulated hazardous liquid pipelines that transport jet fuel in\nand around the Honolulu International Airport.1\nAs a result of the inspection, the Director, Western Region, OPS (Director), issued to\nRespondent, by letter dated March 5, 2007, a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed\nCompliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, the Notice proposed\nfinding that Respondent had violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(f)(3) and proposed ordering\nRespondent to take certain measures to correct the alleged violation.\nRespondent responded to the Notice by letter dated April 5, 2007 (Response). Respondent did\nnot contest the allegations of violation and stated that it would comply with the terms of the\nproposed compliance order. Respondent did not request a hearing and therefore has waived its\nright to one.\nFINDING OF VIOLATION\nIn its Response, ASIG did not contest the allegation in the Notice that it violated 49 C.F.R. Part\n195, as follows:\nItem 1: The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(f)(3), which states:\n1 “ASIG is a wholly owned subsidiary of BBA Aviation, a publicly held corporation traded on the London stock\nexchange providing Flight Support and Aftermarket Services and Systems to the commercial, business and general\naviation, and military aviation markets.” http://www.asig.com/aboutus/ (accessed Apr. 20, 2010).\n\n\n\n2\n§ 195.452 Pipeline integrity management in high consequence areas.\n(a) . . .\n(f) What are the elements of an integrity management program? An\nintegrity management program begins with the initial framework. An\noperator must continually change the program to reflect operating\nexperience, conclusions drawn from results of the integrity assessments,\nand other maintenance and surveillance data, and evaluation of\nconsequences of a failure on the high consequence area. An operator must\ninclude, at minimum, each of the following elements in its written\nintegrity management program:\n(1) . . .\n(3) An analysis that integrates all available information about the\nintegrity of the entire pipeline and the consequences of a failure (see\nparagraph (g) of this section) . . . .\nThe Notice alleged that ASIG did not perform an analysis that integrated all available\ninformation about the integrity of its entire pipeline, including valves and other appurtenances\nconnected to line pipe, pumping units and associated fabricated assemblies, metering and\ndelivery stations and associated fabricated assemblies, and breakout tanks, and the consequences\nof a failure as required by 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(f)(3). Respondent did not contest this allegation\nof violation. Accordingly, based upon a review of all of the evidence, I find that Respondent\nviolated 49 C.F.R. § 195.452(f)(3) by failing to perform an analysis that integrates all available\ninformation about the integrity of its entire pipeline and the consequences of a failure.\nThis finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action\ntaken against Respondent.\nCOMPLIANCE ORDER\nThe Notice proposed a compliance order with respect to Item 1 in the Notice for a violation of 49\nC.F.R. § 194.452(f)(3). Under 49 U.S.C. § 60118(a), each person who engages in the\ntransportation of hazardous liquids or who owns or operates a pipeline facility is required to\ncomply with the applicable safety standards established under chapter 601. The Director has\nindicated that Respondent has taken the following actions specified in the proposed compliance\norder:\nDuring a March 24, 2009 Integrity Management Inspection of\nASIG’s pipeline facilities, OPS confirmed that Respondent had\nsatisfied the terms of the proposed compliance order.\n\n\n\n3\nAccordingly, I find that compliance has been achieved with respect to this violation. Therefore,\nthe compliance terms proposed in the Notice are not included in this Order.\nThe terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective upon receipt of service.\n___________________________________ __________________________\nJeffrey D.
