PEABODY MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT — Integrity Assurance Notification
MAOP RECONFIRMATION TIME EXTENSIONPursuant to§§ 192.624(b)(3) and 192.18, we are writing to formally request a 12-month extension for compliance with the Mega Rule, specifically regarding the reconfirmation of maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) pursuant to§ 192.619 Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure: Steel or Plastic Pipeline. As you are aware, the Mega Rule, implemented in July 2020, mandates that pipeline operators produce MTRs for all pipeline fittings dating back to the original installation of the pipeline. Although we have MTRs for the installed pipeline as well as pressure test information, our records are incomplete, and we are currently unable to provide MTRs for underground fittings as required by the regulation.#
