The Williams Field\nService O&M manual (Element 7, 7.02 ADM 002, section 2.2.3.1) did not adequately address all\n\n\n\nthe requirements for atmospheric corrosion monitoring. The manual did not address the\nrequirements of §195.583(b).\nResponse to this Notice\nThis Notice is provided pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60108(a) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.237.
