On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacy found within Phillips 66’s plans or procedures, as described below: 1. §195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies. (a) General. Each operator shall prepare and follow for each pipeline system a manual of written procedures for conducting normal operations and maintenance activities and handling abnormal operations and emergencies. This manual shall be reviewed at intervals not exceeding 15 months, but at least once each calendar year, and appropriate changes made as necessary to insure that the manual is effective. This manual shall be prepared before initial operations of#

(c) Maintenance and normal operations. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this section must include procedures for the following to provide safety during maintenance and normal operations: (3) Operating, maintaining, and repairing the pipeline system in accordance with each of the requirements of this subpart and subpart H of this part. Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC did not establish adequate written procedures for performing overpressure safety device inspections in according with Section 195.428(a). During the inspection, it was determined through discussion with various Phillips 66 operating personnel that the technicians performing overpressure safety device (OSD) inspections are required to check the Operating Data (OD) sheets to identify the correct set point for each OSD device and subsequently record that value on the appropriate OSD inspection form prior to performing the OSD inspections. It was then determined that the procedure and forms for inspecting OSDs were not clear in this regard. As a result, Phillips 66 must modify the following procedures and related inspection forms to clarify the steps necessary for a technician to identify the correct set point for each OSD and to include that set point information on the Phillips 66 OSD inspection forms: MPR 4216 Calibration and Maintenance of Pressure Switches MPR 4225 Inspection and Maintenance of Pressure Regulation Systems Response to this Notice This Notice is provided pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60108(a) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.237.
