Gas in the transmission line is not required to be odorized.\nQUESTION: Does the gas in the service line have to be odorized?\nINTERPRETATION: Section 192.625(a) requires that gas in distribution lines have a natural\nodor or be odorized to the limit prescribed. Since service lines are distribution lines, they are\nsubject to the odorization requirements of §192.625(a). The exception from odorization provided\nby §192.625(b) for some transmission lines does not affect the requirement to odorize gas in\ndistribution lines connected to an unodorized transmission line.\nDB\nC:\\WP51\\INTERPRT\\192\\625\\80-09-10\n2\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\nMelvin A.
