IL Sorrento Mobile Home Park — Pipeline Safety Interpretation

Page 1September 10, 1976 Mr. Victor C. Nelson IL Sorrento Mobile Home Park 23820 Ironwood Avenue Sunnymead, California 92388 Dear Mr. Nelson: This responds to your letter of July 24, 1976, asking whether or not you are subject to being penalized or fined for failing to comply with the corrosion control requirements of Section 192.457(b) by the August 1, 1976, deadline. Under Sections 8 and 9 of the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, any operator of a gas pipeline system that fails to comply with the standards issued under the Act is subject to a civil penalty. Because of this statutory requirement, we are unable affirm that you would not be subject to penalty as you have requested. It is our policy, however, in enforcing the Federal standards against any operator, to take into account all extenuating circumstances that may bear on an operator's failure to comply with a particular standard. Sincerely, Cesar DeLeon Acting Director Office Pipeline Safety Operations dal/192.457 76-09-10.2 1#

The regulation we are complying with is: Transportation of Natural & other Gas by pipeline 49 CFR, parts 191 and 192. We have applied to Smith & Denison, Inc. out of Santa Monica, Calif., to do our survey & testing. Mr. Leonard Adler, Regional Manager, gave us a date of August 12, 1976 to come and do the survey. He stated the report of finding would follow in approximately three (3) weeks. However, he assured us since this is past the dead line of August 15, 1976, we would not be penalized or fined as we are in the process of getting the job completed. We have only his verbal word for this and now feel we would like confirmation of this from your office. We would greatly appreciate a letter from your office confirming that we are not subject to being fined since completion of this regulation will take place after August 15, 1976.
