Closure Letter
Dear Mr. Rose:
During the weeks of September 5 through 8 and September 18 through 21, 2017, representatives
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 Idaho
Pipeline Corporation’s procedures in Boise, Idaho. As a result of the inspection, Idaho Pipeline
Corporation was issued a Notice of Amendment on October 10, 2018, which proposed
amendment of your procedures. A Final Order Directing Amendment was issued on August 8,
2019. Idaho Pipeline submitted a response, received by PHMSA on September 18, 2019.
PHMSA has determined that given the passage of time, it would be prudent to review the items
identified in the NOA and Final Order during a future inspection rather than to continue the
current proceeding. PHMSA will address any remaining items with Idaho Pipeline Corporation
at that time. Accordingly, this case is now closed.
Accordingly, PHMSA has determined no other action is necessary and this case is now closed.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Dustin Hubbard
Director, Western Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

ORDER DIRECTING AMENDMENT
From September 5 through 8, 2017, and September 18 through 21, 2017, pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
§ 60117, representatives of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of
Idaho Pipeline Corporation’s Boise Aviation Fuel Pipeline (IDPC or Respondent), plans and
procedures. The IDPC’s Boise Aviation Fuel Pipeline is an 8-inch and 4-inch pipeline system
totaling 2.69 miles.
As a result of the inspection, the Director, Western Region, OPS (Director), issued to
Respondent, by letter dated October 10, 2018, a Notice of Amendment (NOA). In accordance
with 49 C.F.R. § 190.206, the Notice alleged certain inadequacies in Respondent’s Operating and
Maintenance (O&M) Manual and proposed requiring IDPC to amend its procedures to comply
with the provisions of 49 C.F.R. § 195.402.1
Respondent failed to respond within 30 days of receipt of service of the NOA. To date,
Respondent has not acknowledged or responded to the Notice. Such failure to respond
constitutes a waiver of IDPC’s right to contest the allegations in the NOA and authorizes the
Associate Administrator, without further notice, to find facts as alleged in the NOA and to issue
an Order Directing Amendment.
Accordingly, I find that IDPC’s procedures are inadequate to ensure safe operation of its pipeline
system. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60108(a) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.206, IDPC is ordered to make the
following revisions to its procedures:
1. Amend its O&M procedures to include the steps or processes IDPC will follow
for the gathering of data needed for reporting accidents in a timely and effective
manner, in accordance with § 195, Subpart B.
1 The NOA was issued in conjunction with a separate Notice of Probable Violation (CPF No. 5-2018-6015). A Final
Order in that case is being issued separately.

Amend its O&M procedures for periodically reviewing the work done by its
personnel to determine the effectiveness of the procedures used in normal O&M,
and take corrective action where deficiencies are found, in accordance with
§ 195.402(c)(13). Rather than paraphrasing code requirements, IDPC procedures
should set forth the steps or processes in which it will achieve compliance
specifically for its system. For example, who would perform the review, how
often, the method of evaluating the procedure for effectiveness, and
documentation of review.
Amend its emergency procedures to include steps or a process for receiving,
identifying, and classifying notices of events which need immediate response by
IDPC or notice to fire, police, or other appropriate public officials and
communicating this information to appropriate IDPC personnel for corrective
action, in accordance with § 195.402(e)(1).
Amend its emergency procedures to include steps or a process for prompt and
effective response to a notice of each type of emergency, including fire or
explosion occurring near or directly involving a pipeline facility, accidental
release of hazardous liquid from a pipeline facility, operation failure causing a
hazardous condition, and natural disaster affecting pipeline facilities, in
accordance with § 195.402(e)(2).

NOTICE OF AMENDMENT
CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
October 10, 2018
Mr. Robert Rose
President
Idaho Pipeline Corporation
P.O. Box 35236
Sarasota, FL 34242
CPF 5-2018-6016M
Dear Mr. Rose:
On September 5 through 8, and September 18 through 21, 2017, representatives of the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States
Code, inspected Idaho Pipeline Corporation’s (IDPC) procedures for operations and maintenance in
Boise, Idaho.
Based on the inspection, PHMSA has identified apparent inadequacies found within IDPC’s plans or
procedures. Preliminarily, PHMSA noted during the inspection that many of IDPC’s procedures
repeat or paraphrase the regulatory text, instead of providing instruction or a process for how to
implement the regulatory requirement, as further 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 a pipeline system commence, and appropriate parts
shall be kept at locations where operations and maintenance activities are conducted.
(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:
(1) . . .
(2) Gathering of data needed for reporting accidents under subpart B of this part in a



timely and effective manner.
IDPC’s procedural manual for operations, maintenance and emergencies (O&M) did not include
adequate procedures for the gathering of data needed for reporting accidents in accordance with 49
C.F.R. §195, Subpart B. Although Section 3.3 of IDPC’s O&M Manual mentions reporting accidents,
IDPC did not have a detailed procedure for gathering necessary data for reporting accidents in a timely
and effective manner. Instead, IDPC’s O&M only paraphrased the code requirements, and did not set
forth the steps or processes the operator will follow to achieve the code requirements. For example, a
procedure could identify what information should be gathered for reporting accidents, who is
responsible for completion of this task, and deadlines to ensure the data is received in a timely
1
manner.
2. §195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies.
(a) . . .
(c) Maintenance and normal operations. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this

the requirements of this subpart and subpart H of this part.
IDPC’s O&M did not include adequate written procedures for the inspection of in-service breakout
tanks in accordance with §195.432(a).2 At the time of the inspection, IDPC’s O&M failed to have a
written procedure describing the methods for performing routine in-service atmospheric and low-
pressure steel above-ground breakout tank inspections, including specification of an interval to comply
with the regulatory deadline. At a minimum, IDPC’s procedure should include all steps, based on the
operator’s system that would be followed to perform routine in-service inspections of breakout tanks.
This procedure could include, but not be limited to, inspection information on evidence of leaks, shell
distortions, conditions of the foundations, and paint coatings.
3. §195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies.
(a) . . .
(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:
1 This example, or any example included in this Notice, is not an inclusive list of possible revisions to IDPC’s
written procedures. All written procedures developed in response to this Notice should be specific to the operator’s
system and not solely reliant on the limited proposed revisions PHMSA may suggest in this Notice.
2 See 49 C.F.R. §195.432(a) (requiring operators, at intervals not exceeding 15 months, but at least once each
calendar year, to inspect each in-service breakout tank except for breakout tanks covered in (b) and (c) of that
section).
2



(1) . . .
(5) Analyzing pipeline accidents to determine their causes.
IDPC did not establish adequate written procedures for analyzing the causes of pipeline accidents in
accordance with §195.402(c)(5). At the time of the inspection, IDPC’s O&M Manual did not have a
section or a procedure for analyzing pipeline accidents to determine their causes.

and normal operations:
(1) . . .
(12) Establishing and maintaining liaison with fire, police, and other appropriate public
officials to learn the responsibility and resources of each government organization that
may respond to a hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide pipeline emergency and acquaint
the officials with the operator's ability in responding to a hazardous liquid or carbon
dioxide pipeline emergency and means of communication.
IDPC did not establish adequate written procedures for establishing and maintaining liaison with fire,
police, and other appropriate public officials to learn the responsibility and resources of each
government organization that may respond to a hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide pipeline emergency
and acquaint the officials with the operator's ability in responding to a hazardous liquid or carbon
dioxide pipeline emergency and means of communication in accordance with §195.402(c)(12). At the
time of the inspection, IDPC did not have a procedure in place to explain how it establishes and
maintains liaison with emergency response personnel.
5. §195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies.
(a) . . .
(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:
(1) . . .
(13) Periodically reviewing the work done by operator personnel to determine the
effectiveness of the procedures used in normal operation and maintenance and taking
corrective action where deficiencies are found.
IDPC did not establish adequate written O&M procedures to periodically review the work done by its
personnel to determine the effectiveness of the procedures used in normal operation and maintenance,
and take corrective action where deficiencies are found in accordance with §195.402(c)(13). At the
time of the inspection, it was noted that IDPC’s O&M manual did not have a procedure for
periodically reviewing the work done by operator personnel to determine the effectiveness of the
procedures. Instead, IDPC’s O&M only paraphrased the code requirements, and did not set forth the
steps or process in which the operator will achieve the code requirements, such as who would perform
the review and how often, the method of evaluating the procedure for effectiveness (i.e., direct
observation, near miss data, employee feedback, etc.), and documentation of the review.
6. §195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies.
(a)…
(e) Emergencies. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this section must include
3



procedures for the following to provide safety when an emergency condition occurs:
(1) Receiving, identifying, and classifying notices of events which need immediate
response by the operator or notice to fire, police, or other appropriate public officials
and communicating this information to appropriate operator personnel for corrective
action.
IDPC did not establish adequate written emergency procedures for receiving, identifying and
classifying notices of events which need immediate response by the operator or notice to fire, police,
or other appropriate public officials and communicating this information to appropriate operator
personnel for corrective action in accordance with §195.402(e)(1). At the time of the inspection,
IDPC’s emergency operations, Section 3.0 of the O&M Manual, failed to have a procedure for
receiving, identifying, and classifying notices of events which need immediate response and providing
notice to operator personnel or to fire, police or other appropriate officials, as appropriate, for
corrective action. Instead, IDPC’s O&M only paraphrased the code requirements, and did not set
forth the steps or process the operator will take to achieve the code requirements.
