You must inspect each cathodic protection system used to\ncontrol corrosion on the bottom of an aboveground breakout tank to ensure that\noperation and maintenance of the system are in accordance with API Recommended\nPractice 651. However, this inspection is not required if you note in the corrosion\ncontrol procedures established under Sec. 195.402(c)(3) why compliance with all or\ncertain operation and maintenance provisions of API Recommended Practice 651 is\nnot necessary for the safety of the tank.\nThe operator’s procedures references API 653, not API 651. The O&M Manual must be\nchanged to indicate that API 651 is the code to be followed for tank cathodic protection.\n5. §195.573 What must I do to monitor external corrosion control?\n(e) Corrective action. You must correct any identified deficiency in corrosion control\nas required by Sec. 195.401(b). However, if the deficiency involves a pipeline in an\nintegrity management program under Sec. 195.452, you must correct the deficiency\nas required by Sec. 195.452(h).\nThe operator’s procedures do not state how soon deficiencies in corrosion control would\nbe corrected. The O&M Manual must include a statement indicating the time to correct CP\ndeficiencies.\n2\n\n\n\n6. §195.505 Qualification program.\n(i) After December 16, 2004, notify the Administrator or a state agency participating\nunder 49 U.S.C. Chapter 601 if the operator significantly modifies the program after\nthe Administrator or state agency has verified that it complies with this section.\nThe operator’s plan must include a statement indicating that when the plan is significantly\nmodified, that PHMSA will be notified.\nResponse to this Notice\nThis Notice is provided pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60108(a) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.237.
