Page 1PI-74-0118 May 14, 1974 Mr. Jon F. Jacuot Wyoming Public Service Commission Supreme Court Building Cheyenne, WY 92002 Dear Mr. Jacquot: This responds to your letter of May 14, 1974, asking whether Subpart I of 49 CFR Part 192 applies to gathering systems in nonrural areas. Subpart I applies to all pipelines subject to Part 192, including gathering lines in nonrural areas as described in section 192.1. Where certain requirements in Subpart I specifically relate to transmission lines, these requirements apply with equal force to gathering lines as provided in section 192.9. We trust this satisfactorily answers your inquiry. Sincerely, Joseph C. Caldwell Director Office of Pipeline Safety#
