A. McKnight\nSafety Director\nSeadrift Pipeline Corporation\nP. O. Box 552\nVictoria, TX 77903-0552\nDear Mr. McKnight:\nWe have considered your letter of May 17, 1993, in which you request a finding under 49 CFR\n195.260(e) that valves are not justified on each side of certain water crossings. The finding is\nrequested for a gas pipeline to be converted under §195.5 to hazardous liquid service.\nSection 195.5 was established to permit a previously used steel pipeline to qualify for use in\nhazardous liquid service subject to 49 CFR part 195 without meeting the design and\nconstruction requirements applicable to new hazards liquid pipelines. Under part 195, the valve\nlocation requirements of §195.260(e) apply to pipeline construction. Therefore, a gas pipeline\nbeing converted under §195.5 need not meet §195.260(e). Besides §195.5, the part 195\nrequirements applicable to converted pipelines are subpart B (accident reporting) and subpart F\n(operation and maintenance).\nSincerely,\nCesar DeLeon\nDirector, Regulatory Programs\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\ndal\\195.5\\93-05-27","truncated":false,"body_characters":1102}
