Classen\nK N Energy, Inc.\n300 N. St. Joseph Avenue\nP.O. Box 608\nHastings, NE 68902-0608\nDear Mr. Classen:\nEd Ondak of our Western Region Office has asked me to respond to your letter of June 1,\n1993. You asked if it is necessary to inspect and maintain records on individual (single\ncustomer) meter sets off high pressure (50 psi and above) distribution lines.\nThe regulations governing the transportation of gas by pipeline are in 49 CFR Part 192.\nThese regulations do not contain inspection requirements that apply specifically to\ncustomer meter sets. However, because customer meter sets are part of service lines, the\nsets are subject to the same inspection requirements as service lines. These requirements\ninclude monitoring for atmospheric corrosion under §192.481 and periodic leakage\nsurveys under §192.723.\nRecords of corrosion inspections are required by §192.491, and §192.603(b) requires\nrecords of leakage surveys. These records may cover pipelines as a whole, and need not\nidentify specific parts of the pipeline, such as customer meter sets.\nSincerely,\nCesar De Leon\nDirector, Regulatory Programs\nOffice of Pipeline Safety\ndal\\192.481\\93-07-15","truncated":false,"body_characters":1200}
