Page 1PI-76-0113 September 3, 1976 Honorable Robert J. Lagomarsino House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Mr. Lagomarsino: Thank you for your letter of July 26, enclosing a copy of a letter from your constituent, Mr. Maurice F. Richards, about Federal gas pipeline safety regulations, particularly as they apply to mobile home systems. All operators subject to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 should comply as soon as practicable with the requirements for the submission of an annual report and other appropriate leak reporting requirements under the Federal gas pipeline safety regulations (49 CFR Part 191). Where complete data are not available at present, an amended report might be filed or the data would be included in the annual report for calendar year 1976. With regard to the corrosion control requirements in the Federal gas pipeline safety standards contained in 49 CFR Part 192, we are enclosing a copy of a notice published in the Federal Register (41 FR 29128, July 15, 1976) and a copy of a July 19, 1975, letter to the Assistant Secretary for Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development. We trust that these documents will assist your constituent in effectively complying with the Federal gas pipeline safety standards at an early date. For additional clarification about details of the gas pipeline safety requirements, Mr. Richards may wish to contact the Office of Pipeline Safety Operations, Western Region, 831 Mitten Road, Burlingame, California 94010, telephone (415) 876-9085. Thank you for your interest in gas pipeline safety. Sincerely, William T. Coleman, Jr.#
