Additional Designations of Entities Pursuant to Executive Order 13448, 11697-11698 [08-891]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 4, 2008 / Notices sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Other contributing factors can also lead to incidents. These factors include leak surveys conducted in conditions that prevent gas from properly migrating to the surface, such as after heavy rains or certain soil and surface features. Some incidents indicated leak surveys involving equipment not calibrated properly or not appropriate for the intended use, or personnel not sufficiently trained. If an operator is doing proper leak surveys at regular intervals, an operator can usually detect a leak early, fix the source of the leak, and prevent an incident. There have, however, been cases where a leak survey, using properly calibrated equipment showing no problems, was followed by an incident involving sudden pullout only weeks later. Follow-up has already occurred with some of the incidents mentioned in this bulletin: • The NY PSC and the operator agreed to a replacement program involving approximately 45,000 natural gas service lines equipped with couplings. • In Ohio, nearly 500,000 risers were identified by the PUCO’s study as prone to failure. Currently, the PUCO is working with the operators who have these risers and the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel to set up replacement schedules and address costs. • In May 2005, Minnesota’s Office of Pipeline Safety issued a compliance order to an operator to replace service lines installed prior to January 1, 1984, or visually inspect the entire service line to verify it contains only mechanical fittings that comply with 49 CFR 192.283(b). Any mechanical fittings identified that did not meet the requirements were required to be replaced. • The Railroad Commission of Texas has required operators to replace, within a 2-year period, 97,000 remaining old mechanical couplings that have been in service for some 28 to 30 years. In addition, the Railroad Commission of Texas has adopted mandatory replacement programs in an effort to remove compression couplings found leaking on both steel and plastic pipe that are susceptible to pullout. A number of other studies, tests, and repair or replacement programs, some of them voluntary, have been conducted in other States. II. Advisory Bulletin (ADB–08–02) To: All Gas Distribution Operators. Subject: Identifying Issues with Mechanical Coupling That Could Lead to Failure. Advisory: Due to variables related to age of couplings, specific procedures VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:57 Mar 03, 2008 Jkt 214001 and installation practices, and conditions specific to certain regions of the country, it is difficult to cite common criteria affecting all failures that operators should address. However, PHMSA advises operators of gas distribution pipelines using mechanical couplings to do the following to ensure compliance with 49 CFR part 192: (1) Review procedures for using mechanical couplings, including the coupling design and installation and ensure that they meet manufacturer’s recommendations; (2) Review leak survey procedures to ensure that leak surveys are properly conducted, taking into account other contributing factors (i.e., weather conditions, calibration); and, (3) Review personnel qualifications to ensure they address leak surveys sufficiently. PHMSA also advises operators of gas distribution pipelines using mechanical couplings to consider taking the following measures to reduce the risk of failures of mechanical couplings: (4) Use Category 1 fittings only if mechanical couplings are used on pipe sizes 1⁄2′ CTS (Copper Tube Size) to 2′ IPS (Iron Pipe Size). Per ASTM D2513– 99 titled ‘‘Standard Specification for Thermoplastic Gas Pressure Pipe, Tubing and Fittings,’’ Category 1 is a mechanical joint design that provides a seal plus a resistance to a force on the pipe end equal to or greater than that which will cause a permanent deformation of the pipe. At this time there is insufficient data to indicate there are issues involving fittings for larger diameter pipe. PHMSA will revisit if such issues do arise with larger diameter pipe. (5) Improve recordkeeping on specific couplings that exist, i.e., their type, installation date, maintenance schedule, and any failures encountered, to help identify a trend of problems that may occur with a specific coupling or type of installation. (6) Consider whether to adopt a full replacement program if there are too many unknowns related to couplings in service. (7) Work with Federal and State pipeline safety representatives, manufacturers, and industry partners to determine how best to resolve potential issues in their respective state or region. Documented repair and replacement programs may prove beneficial to all stakeholders involved. If operators are unsure of the appropriate representative, contact the individual(s) listed in this advisory bulletin for further information.
