Bridger Lake, LLC compliance with the National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) submittal

inspected and the probable violation(s) are:
1. § 195.61 - National Pipeline Mapping System.

(b) This information must be submitted each year, on or before June 15,
representing assets as of December 31 of the previous year. If no changes have

Bridger Lake, LLC failed to submit the information required in paragraph (a) of § 195.61, on or

Under 49 U.S.C. § 60122 and 49 CFR § 190.223, you are subject to a civil penalty not to exceed
