However, if structural conditions prevent access to the tank bottom\nthe bottom integrity may be assessed according to a plan included in the operations\nand\n(b) 'The acceptability of a weld is determined according to the standards in Section 9\nof API 1104. However, if a girth weld is unacceptable under those standards for a\nreason other than a crack, and if Appendix A to API 1104 (ibr, see g 195. 3) applies to\nthe weld, the acceptability of the weld may be determined under that appendix.\nThe IPC procedural manual did not include the mspection and acceptabihty requirements\nof subparagraphs (a) and (b), above.\n$195. 234 Welds: Nondestructive testing.\n(a) A weld may be nondestructively tested by any process that will clearly indicate\nany defects that may affect the integrity of the weld.\n(b) Any nondestructive testing of welds must be performed-\n(1) In accordance with a written set of procedures for nondestructive testing; and,\n(2) With personnel that have been trained in the established procedures and in the\nuse of the equipment employed in the testing.\n(c) Procedures for the proper interpretation of each weld inspection must be\nestabhshed to ensure the acceptabiHty of the weld under $195. 228.\n(d) Buring construction, at least 10 percent of the girth welds made by each welder\nduring each welding day must be nondestructively tested over the entire\ncircumference of the weld.\n(e) AH girth welds installed each day in the following locations must be\nnondestructively tested over their entire circumference, except that when\nnondestructive testing is impracticable for a girth weld, it need not be tested if the\nnumber of girth weMs for which testing is impracticable does not exceed 10 percent\nof the girth welds installed that day:\n(1) At any onshore location where a loss of hazardous liquid could treasonably be\nexpected to pollute any stream, river, lake, reservoir, or other body of water, and any\noffshore area;\n(2) Within railroad or public road rights-of-way;\n(3) At overhead road crossings and within tunnels;\n(4) Within the hmits of any incorporated subdivision of a State government; and,\n(5) Within populated areas, including, but not limited to, residential subdivisions,\nshopping centers, schools, designated commercial areas, industrial facilities, public\ninstitutions, and places of public assembly.\n(f) When installing used pipe, 100 percent of the old girth welds must be\nnondestructively tested.\n(g) At pipeline tie-ins, including tie-ins of replacement sections, 100 percent of the\ngirth welds must be nondestructively tested.\n\n\n\nThe IPC procedural manual did not address any of the nondestructive testing\nrequirements.\n$195. 571 What criteria must I use to determine the adequacy of cathodic\nprotection?'\nCathodic protection required by this subpart must comply with one or more of the\napplicable criteria and other considerations for cathodic protection contained in\nparagraphs 6. 2 and 6. 3 of SACK Standard RP 0169 (incorporated by reference, see\n$195. 3).\nThe lPC procedural manual did not contam a requirement of comphance with any criteria\nor other considerations for cathodic protection contained m paragraphs 6. 2 and 6. 3 of\nNACE Standard RP 0169\n$195. 573 What must I do to monitor external corrosion control?\n(e) Corrective actions as required by . 401(b) and, if IMP pipeline, 195. 452(h)\nThe lPC procedural manual did not hst the requirement that whenever an operator\ndiscovers any condition that could adversely affect the safe operation of its pipehne\nsystem and that if the condition is of such a nature that it presents an immediate hazard to\npersons or property, IPC may not operate the affected part of the system until it has\ncorrected the unsafe condition within a reasonable time.\n$195. 583 What must I do to monitor atmospheric corrosion control?\n(a) You must inspect each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to the\natmosphere for evidence of atmospheric corrosion, as follows:\nThen the frequency of inspection is:\nOnshore\nOffshore\nAt least once every 3 calendar years, but with intervals\nnot exceeding 39 months\nAt least once each calendar year, but with intervals not\nexceeding 15 months\nThe IPC procedural manual did not mclude the requirement that each pipehne or portion\nof the pipeline that is exposed to the atmosphere must be inspected for evidence of\natmospheric corrosion\n\n\n\nRes onse to this Notice\nThis Notice is provided pursuant to 49 U.
