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\nMinimum Federal Safety Standards require that DOT Form F-7100-1 be filed by \"anyone\nservicing more than then individual living quarters, such as trailer courts.\"\nThe operator of the trailer court is an \"operator...transport (ing) petroleum has in a system that\nserves ten or more customers,\" under Section 192.11 of these regulations, and as such is subject\nto all the requirements of the regulations, including those for reporting.\nYou also ask whether the regulations apply to a motel of ten or more separate units, where each\nunit has its own service line feeding from a common main which, in turn, is supplied from a single\nstorage tank, either with one meter serving all units, or alternatively. with a separate meter at each\nunit.\nFrom the safety viewpoint, there is no difference between the trailer court operator and the motel\noperator, and the regulations apply in both instances.\nIf we can be further assistance, please let us know.\nSincerely,\n/signed/\nJoseph C. Caldwell\nDirector, Acting\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\nDB\nC:\\WP51\\INTERPRT\\192\\11\\71-02-24\n1","truncated":false,"body_characters":1298}
