February 8, 1972
Mr. C. L. Greenwalt
Manager, Gas Department
Central Illinois Public Service Company
607 East Adams
Springfield, Illinois 62701
Dear Mr. Greenwalt:
Your letter of January 11, 1972, addressed to the Secretary of the
Hazardous Materials Regulations Board has been forwarded to me for
reply.
In your letter, you inquire:
"As we interpret the different government regulations, the
testing of the relief valves on our LPG storage tanks is
covered by NFPA Standard No. 59 as referenced in Paragraph
192.11 of Part 192 in Title 49 of the Federal Regulations.
Paragraph 62 of NFPA Standard No. 59 recognizes the 5 year
test period for relief valves on LPG storage tanks. Please
advise if our interpretation is incorrect."
Your interpretation is correct. The notice to which you refer,
Notice 71-27; Docket No. BM-6D, is a Notice of Proposed Rule Making
involving Section 195.428. This section is contained in Part 195
titled "Transportation of Liquids by Pipeline" (49 CFR Part 195).
Pipeline carriers who transport liquid hazardous materials and
petroleum in interstate and foreign commerce are subject to the
regulations in Part 195. Operators of natural gas pipeline
facilities are subject to the regulations in Part 192 (49 CFR Part
192).
Please contact me if I can be of any more assistance in this
matter.
Sincerely,
/signed/
Joseph C. Caldwell
Acting Director
Office of Pipeline Safety
