General Services Administration — Pipeline Safety Interpretation

Page 1February 7, 1974 Mr. James F. Steele, Jr. Acting Regional Commissioner Public Buildings Service General Services Administration Region 3 Washington, DC 20407 Dear Mr. Steele: This responds to your letter of January 31, 1974, requesting our assistance in reviewing the risk exposure due to internal gas facilities in the William J. Green, Jr., Federal Building. The Office of Pipeline Safety does not have the staff or available hours to devote to such a review. Generally, we do not review the construction of gas facilities to determine safety acceptability unless a specific hazard is involved. The earlier occasion on which a member of my staff assisted you in this matter was a courtesy for the GSA Washington, D.C. office. The recommendation made at that time, which I again suggest, is that you employ the services of a professional engineer to make the review. Sincerely, Joseph C. Caldwell Director Office of Pipeline Safety dal\192\1\74-02-07 1#
