Ross Olding\nProduct Research & Application Engineer\nAlbert Kahn Associates, Inc.\nNew Center Building\nDetroit, MI 48202\nDear Mr. Olding:\nBy letter of January 18, 1974, you ask whether or not the requirements for corrosion control for\nburied gas pipelines in 49 CFR Part 192 apply to lines on private property on the discharge side of\na meter.\nThe corrosion requirements apply to all pipelines used in the transportation of gas. Under our\ninterpretation, transportation ends at the sale and delivery of gas to the ultimate consumer. Thus,\nwhere a consumer owns a pipeline downstream from a meter, transportation ends at the discharge\nside of the meter, and the corrosion requirements would not apply to that pipeline. On the other\nhand, where a utility company owns a pipeline downstream from a meter, transportation does not\nend until the gas reaches piping owned by the customer, and the corrosion requirements would\napply to the company-owned pipeline.\nI trust this satisfactorily responds to our inquiry.\nSincerely,\n/signed/\nJoseph C. Caldwell\nDirector\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\ndal/192.451\n74-01-29","truncated":false,"body_characters":1135}
