Miller\nFacilities Engineering Department\nAshland Oil, Inc.\nP.O. Box 391, EH\nAshland. Ky 41114\nDear Mr. Miller:\nWe have considered your letter of August 17, 1992, which advises\nthat Ashland Petroleum Company is studying its terminal facilities\nto ensure their compliance with the pipeline safety regulations of\n49 CFR Part 195. You further advise that during the course of the\nstudy, questions have developed on where Part 195 jurisdiction ends\nwhen a pipeline enters a storage facility and what constitutes \"in\nplant piping.\"\nWe are aware that Part 195 does not define the point where a\njurisdictional pipeline ends and \"in plant piping\" begins. So we\nare preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking that will clarify\nthis and other issues related to Part 195. The notice is titled\n\"Regulatory Review: Hazardous Liquid and Carbon Dioxide Pipeline\nSafety Standards.\" When the notice is published, all interested\npersons will have an opportunity to comment on a proposed\ndefinition of \"in plant piping.\"\nMeanwhile, we have enclosed eight \"Liquid Drawings\" which are\ncurrently used at our Transportation Safety institute (TSI) in\nOklahoma City as guidelines on jurisdictional issues. We expect\nthat the information on these instructional drawings will be of use\nin answering your jurisdictional questions.\nSincerely,\nCesar De Leon\nDirector, Regulatory Programs\nOffice of Pipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":1425}
