O. Box 683\nHouston, TX 77001-0683\nDear Mr. Collier:\nWe have reviewed your letter of April 9, 1991, regarding three segments of gas pipelines in\nRowan County, Kentucky that pass within 100 yards of an Outdoor Field Study Area used by the\nRowan County School System. You asked if these pipeline segments are in a Class 3 location as\ndefined by 49 CFR 192.5(d)(2).\nSection 192.5(d)(2) defines a Class location as follows:\nAn area where the pipeline lies within 100 yards of either a building or a small, well-\ndefined outside area (such as a playground, recreation are, outdoor theater or other place\nof public assembly) that is occupied by 20 or more persons on at least 5 days a week for\n10 weeks in any 12-month period (The days and weeks need not be consecutive).\nFrom the information you provided in your letter and in a conversation with Jack Willock of this\noffice, it appears that the Outdoor Field Study Area is not occupied at least 5 days a week for any\nperiod of the year. Therefore, the pipeline segments are not in a Class 3 location under\n§192.5(d)(2).\nSincerely,\nCesar DeLeon\nDirector of Pipeline Safety\nRegulatory Programs\nDB\nC:\\WP51\\INTERPRT\\192\\5\\91-06-03\n1","truncated":false,"body_characters":1274}
