Download as PDF 14576 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 22, 2006 / Notices M&N requests a waiver of compliance from the regulatory requirements at 49 CFR 192.111. This regulation prescribes the design factor to be used in the design formula in § 192.105. The design factors are found in the following table: Issued in Washington, DC, on March 20, 2006. Joy Kadnar, Director of Engineering and Emergency Support. [FR Doc. 06–2829 Filed 3–21–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–60–P Class location cprice-sewell on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 1 2 3 4 Design factor (F) ............................................ ............................................ ............................................ ............................................ 0.72 0.60 0.50 0.40 M&N is proposing to use a design factor for its existing pipeline of 80 percent SMYS for Class 1; 67 percent SMYS for Class 2; and 56 percent SMYS for Class 3. M&N notes that if the waiver is granted, it intends to operate its pipeline in the future with a design factor of 80 percent SMYS for Class 1; 60 percent SMYS for Class 2; and 50 percent SMYS for Class 3. M&N also requests a waiver from § 192.201(a)(2)(i) which states if the MAOP is 60 psig or more, the pressure may not exceed MAOP plus 10 percent, or the pressure that produces a hoop stress of 75 percent SMYS, which ever is lower. M&N proposes to set the over pressure protection for the waiver sections to 104 percent of the pipeline MAOP. This setting is based on the ratio of 75 percent to 72 percent of SMYS. M&N additionally requests a waiver from the requirements of § 192.503(c) which limits the maximum hoop stress allowed to 80 percent of the pipeline’s SYMS if air, natural gas, or inert gas is used as the test medium. M&N desires to test its compressor station piping to 82 percent SMYS. Section 192.611 requires an operator to confirm or revise the MAOP of its pipeline if the hoop stress corresponding to the established MAOP is not commensurate with the present class location. M&N notes that any class location changes that occur subsequent to this proposed waiver will be filed under separate waiver requests. PHMSA will consider M&N’s waiver request and whether its proposal will yield an equivalent or greater degree of safety than that currently provided by the regulations. After considering any comments received, PHMSA may grant M&N’s waiver request as proposed, with modifications and conditions, or deny M&N’s request. If the waiver is granted and PHMSA subsequently determines the effect of the waiver is inconsistent with pipeline safety, PHMSA may revoke the waiver at its sole discretion. Authority: 49 U.S.C. 60118 (c) and 49 CFR 1.53.
