K. Spalding, Director\nGas Pipeline Safety Division\nWest Va. Public Service Commission\nCapital Building\nCharleston, West Virginia 25305\nDear Mr. Spalding:\nThis is in response to your letter dated May 22, 1972 regarding an interpretation of Section\n192.457.\nYour specific question, regarding Section 192.457, asked if you were correct in concluding that:\nAn electrical survey must be made on bare or ineffectively coated transmission lines and\nbare or coated distribution lines only in those areas where public safety might be\njeopardized. The standards do not require that the entire length of the pipeline be\nelectrically surveyed.\nYour interpretation is not correct. The entire length of the pipeline must be electrically surveyed,\nif practical.\nWe trust that this will answer your specific question. If we can be of further service, please let us\nknow.\nSincerely,\nJoseph C. Caldwell\nDirector\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\nDB\nC:\\WP51\\INTERPRT\\192\\457\\72-06-16\n1","truncated":false,"body_characters":979}
