Dear Mr. Britton:
On November 16-18, 2007, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, inspected the
Fairbanks Natural Gas procedures for Operations and Maintenance (08cM) in Fairbanks,
Alaska.
On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacy found within
your plans or procedures, as described below:
$193. 2017 Plans and procedures.
(a) Each operator shall maintain at each LNG plant the plans and procedures
required for that plant by this part. The plans and procedures must be available
upon request for review and inspection by the Administrator or any State Agency
that has submitted a current certification or agreement with respect to the plant
under the pipeline safety laws (49 U. S. C. 60101 et seq. ). In addition, each change to
the plans or procedures must be available at the LNG plant for review and
inspection within 20 days after the change is made.
$193. 2915 Alternative power sources.
An alternative source of power that meets the requirements of $193. 2445 must be
provided for security lighting and security monitoring and warning systems
required under $/193. 2911 and 193. 2913.



At the time of the inspection, Fairbanks Natural Gas's O&M Manual did not have an adequate
procedure to demonstrate that they have an alternate power source for security lighting.
