Maurizio\nExecutive Director\nPenns Grove Housing Authority\nPenns Tower South\nPenns Grove, New Jersey 08069\nDear Mr. Maurizio:\nThis responds to your letter of April 22, 1975, asking if the Penns Grove Housing Authority is\nresponsible for compliance with 49 CFR Part 192 with respect to pipeline facilities in its housing\nproject, Silver Run Park, which are used to distribute gas to tenants. The pipeline facilities are\nlocated downstream from a master meter. From your description, it appears they are owned and\noperated by the South Jersey Gas Company who supplies gas to the facilities. The Housing\nAuthority purchases gas from the gas company at the master meter and then releases it to tenants\nfor their consumption.\nThe Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 (49 USC 1671 et seq.) requires that each person\nwho owns or operates gas pipeline facilities subject to the Federal gas pipeline safety standards,\nPart 192, must comply with applicable standards. Insofar as the Housing Authority does not own\nor operate the facilities in Silver Run Park, it is not required to comply.\nThe fact that the Housing Authority is engaged in the sale of gas distributed through the facilities\nis not determinative of whether it must comply with Part 192. The sale of gas merely indicates\nthat the pipeline facilities are used in commerce and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of Part\n192.\nWe trust this satisfactorily answers your inquiry.\nSincerely,\nCesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline\nSafety Operations\nJT\nC:\\WP51\\192\\3\\75-08-13.N\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nC: IPS119213175-08-13.N","truncated":false,"body_characters":1606}
