O. Box 2067\nCedar Rapids, Iowa 52406\nDear Mr. Pohlman:\nThis is in reply to your letter of March 12, 1971, stating that it is your understanding that the Minimum Federal Safety\nStandards require that DOT Form F-7100-1 be filed by \"anyone servicing more than then individual living quarters, such\nas trailer courts.\"\nThe operator of the trailer court is an \"operator...transport (ing) petroleum has in a system that serves ten or more\ncustomers,\" under Section 192.11 of these regulations, and as such is subject to all the requirements of the regulations,\nincluding those for reporting.\nYou also ask whether the regulations apply to a motel of ten or more separate units, where each unit has its own service\nline feeding from a common main which, in turn, is supplied from a single storage tank, either with one meter serving all\nunits, or alternatively. with a separate meter at each unit.\nFrom the safety viewpoint, there is no difference between the trailer court operator and the motel operator, and the\nregulations apply in both instances.\nIf we can be further assistance, please let us know.\nSincerely,\nJoseph C. Caldwell\nDirector, Acting\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nGreat Plains Gas\nNational Propane Corporation\nP.O.

Caldwell\nDear Mr. Caldwell:\nThank you for your reply to my letter, I'm sorry I wasn't too clear about the information I need. It is my understanding\nthat D.O.T. regulations require anyone servicing more than ten individual living quarters, such as trailer courts, is\nrequired to fill out D.O.T. Form F71001-1.\nMy other question was to see if these same regulations apply to a motel of ten or more units where each unit has its\nown service line feeding from a common main which in turn is from a single storage tank? I will attach a drawing to try\nto show what I mean. These, of course, could be used with one meter serving all units or a separate meter at each unit.\nSincerely,\nGerald Pohlman","truncated":false,"body_characters":2180}
