Bender\nCorrosion Associates\nP.O. Box 11302\nFort Worth, Texas 76110\nDear Mr. Bender:\nIn your letter of March 31, 1976, you ask whether the exemptions contained in Section 192.455\napply to pipelines which were installed in an apartment project 20 years ago.\nBy its terms, Section 192.455 specifically applies to pipelines installed after July 31, 1971.\nLikewise, Section 192.457 specifically applies to pipelines installed before August 1, 1971. This\ndistinction in the scope of the two sections indicates that the exemptions under Section 192.455\nare intended to apply only to pipelines installed after July 31, 1971, and not to pipelines 20 years\nold.\nWe trust this satisfactorily responds to your inquiry.\nSincerely,\n\\signed\\\nCesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline\nSafety Operations\ndal\\192\\455\\76-04-21\n1","truncated":false,"body_characters":859}
