September 10, 1976
Mr. Sam McNeill
Yacht Harbor Mobile Park
565 Esplanade, #215
Redondo Beach, California 90277
Dear Mr. McNeill:
This refers to your letter of July 9, 1976, requesting "an extension of 120 days" to meet the
corrosion control requirements of 49 CFR 192.457(b). Although compliance with your request
would involve the granting of a "waiver" within the meaning of Sec. 3(e) of the Natural Gas
Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 (49 USC 1672(e)), we have not accepted your letter as a petition for
waiver since you have not stated why you are unable to comply with Section 192.457(b) by the
August 1, 1976, deadline.
The August 1 deadline was established in 1971, allowing operators at least 5 years to make the
necessary arrangements for compliance. It is our policy not to grant waivers except upon a
showing of cogent reasons why a general safety standard should not be followed in a particular
situation or an alternative standard is more appropriate. In contrast, it appears from your letter
that you are taking steps to achieve compliance as soon as possible.
We have enclosed a copy of our recently published notice on corrosion control which may be
helpful to you in complying with the requirements.
Sincerely,
Cesar DeLeon
Acting Director
Office of Pipeline
Safety Operations
