Closure Letter
Dear Ms. Fong:
On February 14-17, 2012, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-
site pipeline safety inspection of the City of Palo Alto’s Operator Qualification (OQ) program
in Palo Alto, California. As a result of the inspection, the City of Palo Alto (City) was issued a
Notice of Amendment on March 28, 2012, which proposed amendment of your OQ program
procedures.
The City submitted its amended procedures on May 12, 2012, and again on June 28, 2013. My
staff reviewed the amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this
Notice of Amendment have been corrected.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank
you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Chris Hoidal
Director, Western Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
