Box 116\nWhite Deer, Texas 79097\nDear Mayor James:\nYour letter of April 23, 1976, requesting a waiver from compliance with 49 CFR 192.457,\nconcerning corrosion control, is returned herewith.\nThe petition should be presented to the Texas Railroad Commission which has authority under the\nNatural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 to enforce and grant waivers from compliance with the\nFederal standards for intrastate gas pipeline facilities in Texas. Should the Commission decide to\ngrant the waiver, we will review that decision in accordance with Sec. 3(e) of the Act.\nSincerely,\nCesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline\nSafety Operations\nEnclosure\ndal/192.457\n76-07-20.2\n1\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nCity of WHITE DEER\nApril 23, 1976\nRequest for Waiver\nCity of White Deer\nGas System\nRegulation Involved: 192.457 Regulations for Trans. of Natural and Other Gas By Pipeline,\nParts 191, 192, Title 49, Revised October 1, 1973.\nDepartment of Transportation\nOffice of Pipeline Safety.\nThe existing regulation is inappropriate for the City of White Deer Gas System because of the\ntime element involved. Partial condition of lines is one of deterioration. It will be very costly to\ncheck and very costly to install the replacement lines. Some of the distribution lines could be\nreplaced at less cost with plastic instead of steel.\nThe waiver is necessary at this time because it would allow the City of White Deer time for the\ncomplete check of the system to determine the replacement lines. It would allow time for\nreplacement. The description of the pipeline system is coated steel lines in Pullman-Randall Soil.\nThe City of White Deer respectfully suggests that a specified time allowance until February 1,\n1977, be granted.\ncc: Railroad Commission of Texas\nGas Utilities Division\ncc: Department of Transportation\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\nVirgil James, Mayor\nL.
