Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 199 / Monday, October 16, 2006 / Notices of the following year if the 6 month period is later than November 1 of the year of discovery, bury the pipeline so that the top of the pipe is 36 inches (914 millimeters) below the underwater natural bottom (as determined by recognized and generally accepted practices) for normal excavation or 18 inches (457 millimeters) for rock excavation. The requested waiver would allow KWPC’s pipeline to exist exposed above the underwater natural bottom in Fleming Channel and require KWPC to inspect the pipeline on an annual basis. On August 16–18, 2005, KWPC performed an inspection of the underwater segments of its pipeline. The underwater inspection concluded that less than 200 feet of KWPC’s pipeline was partially or totally exposed above the underwater natural bottom in Fleming Channel, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico. The exposed segment is east of the bridge connecting Key West, FL to Fleming Channel and is located in waters that are approximately 11 feet deep at mean low water and approximately 13.5 feet deep at mean high water. The exposed segment lies immediately adjacent to the Trumbo Point Navel Annex, part of Naval Air Station—Key West (NASKW) military reservation. Both sides of Fleming Channel within the immediate vicinity of the exposed pipeline are bordered by the NASKW. Upon discovering the exposed pipe on August 18, 2005, KWPC notified the National Response Center of the location and the geographic coordinates of the exposed pipeline. KWPC also met with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) on the same day to discuss suitable ways to mark the exposed pipeline in accordance with pipeline safety regulations and to prevent the markers from becoming a hazard to navigation in the active boating channel. KWPC determined that marking the exposed pipeline in compliance with § 195.413(c)(2) and (3) created a hazard to navigation; therefore, KWPC proposed marking the exposed pipeline by placing a warning sign on the bridge crossing the channel, as well as installing two signs on the opposing sides of the waterway on NASKW property. On August 19, 2005, KWPC submitted a written request to the USCG seeking approval of the marking proposal. In its proposal request to the USCG, KWPC noted that the potential for damage to the pipeline from recreational boaters is minimized because the pipeline is in an area where anchoring is prohibited, pursuant to 33 CFR 334.610. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:16 Oct 13, 2006 Jkt 211001 60795 In a letter dated September 6, 2005, the USCG responded to KWPC’s proposal request and did not object to KWPC’s proposed method of marking the exposed pipeline. Request for Waiver Issued in Washington, DC on October 6, 2006. Theodore L. Willke, Acting Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety. [FR Doc. E6–17097 Filed 10–13–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–60–P KWPC requests a waiver from § 195.413(c)(2) and (3) and asks that it be allowed to take the following actions: (1) Install a sign on the shoreline of Key West, FL and Fleming Key immediately adjacent to the exposed pipeline segment, with the following information approved by the USCG— Warning Transit Only No Stopping or Anchoring Within 100 Yards of Shore Underwater Utility 33 CFR § 334.610 (2) Install a similar sign on the west side of the permanent bridge linking Key West, FL to Fleming Key. (3) Inspect the exposed pipeline segment on an annual basis to confirm that there has been no material change in the condition of the exposed segment. KWPC’s exposed pipeline is located within the restricted waters of Fleming Channel. The U.S. Navy patrols the restricted waters of Fleming Channel to ensure that the waters are used for transient traffic as prescribed in 33 CFR 334.610. Request for Public Comment PHMSA will consider the KWPC and PTMC waiver request and whether the KWPC and PTMC proposal will yield an equivalent or greater degree of safety than what is currently provided by the regulations. This notice is PHMSA’s only request for public comment before making a decision. After considering any comments received, PHMSA may grant the KWPC and PTMC waiver request as proposed, with modifications and conditions, or deny the request. If the waiver request is granted and PHMSA subsequently determines that the effect of the waiver is inconsistent with pipeline safety, PHMSA may impose additional conditions or revoke the waiver at its sole discretion.
