Memorandum
Date: Jan 20, 1995
Subject: Information: Business district
From: To: Cesar De Leon, Deputy Associate Administrator for
Pipeline Safety, DPS-2
Jack G. Edwards, Pipeline Safety Specialist, DTI-60
This responds to your memo concerning the frequency of gas leakage surveys. You
asked if a gas main located beneath a highway that parallels a shopping center parking
lot is in a “ business district” under 49 CFR 192.723 (b)(1).
Part 192 does not define the term “ business district.” However, by its plain meaning, the
term refers to a place whose primary function is the conduct of business. Thus, the
shopping center and its parking lot are a business district.. As you have depicted the
main, it lies outside a business district.
