volume area’’ is defined in § 194.5. The
response times that appear in the table
at § 194.115(b) correspond with the tiers
established by the USCG for a worstcase discharge in the USCG guidance
referenced in Appendix A to Part 194.
As stated in a prior advisory bulletin
ADB–2010–05 published in the Federal
Register on June 28, 2010 (75 FR 36773)
operators should review and update
their oil spill response plans and
contracts to ensure the availability of
necessary response resources to a worst
case discharge from their pipeline
facilities even in the event that more
than one significant incident were to
occur simultaneously. The NTSB found
that during the Marshall, MI, incident,
Enbridge’s OSROs failed to adequately
respond because many of the initial
response resources identified in the
Enbridge’s FRP took over 10 hours to
arrive and be deployed at the spill site.
Using a USCG-classified OSRO to
account for response resources can help
to reduce equipment information in an
FRP and can help PHMSA confirm
response capability in terms of
resources. Nonetheless, it is the
operator’s responsibility to ensure that
any OSROs listed can respond to the
scene of an incident with the
appropriate amount of resources and
within the times provided in the tiers at
§ 194.115(b).
Additionally, to assist PHMSA in the
timely processing and review of FRPs,
onshore pipeline operators are
encouraged to submit electronic copies
of their response plans. PHMSA prefers
electronic copies of plans in Portable
Document Format over hard copies of
plans. Electronic copies can be sent via
commercial courier on disc or flash
drive to the Office of Pipeline Safety at
PHMSA Headquarters’ address below:
Office of Pipeline Safety (Attn:
Response Plan Review), Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation, PHP–5, East Building,
2nd Floor, E22–321, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.
Alternatively, electronic files less
than 5 MB can be sent to
PHMSA.OPA90@dot.gov.
PHMSA also wishes to point out
errors that commonly result in the
rejection of plans in order to facilitate
plan preparation and review. These
errors include: (1) Missing, incorrect or
incomplete methodology and
calculations used to determine a Worst
Case Discharge (WCD) that compares the
volumes of WCDs from the pipeline,
breakout tanks, and maximum historical
discharge to include, if necessary, an
affirmation that any of these elements
are not applicable to the calculation; (2)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:45 Jan 27, 2014
Jkt 232001
failure to identify response resources
that are available to respond to an
incident scene; (3) failure to identify
specific environmentally and
economically sensitive areas applicable
to the pipeline area of operation; (4)
missing provisions to ensure responders
are safe at a response site; and (5)
omission of the name or title and 24hour telephone number of an operator’s
‘‘Qualified Individual’’ and at least one
alternate. Deficiencies in any of these
areas will require correction before
PHMSA can approve a plan. FRPs found
to meet the requirements of PHMSA’s
regulations found at Part 194 will be
approved and redacted in accordance
with FOIA and any other applicable
Federal law and posted on PHMSA’s
Web site for public viewing. PHMSA
posts these plans to help Federal, state
and local officials strengthen and
coordinate planning and prevention
activities.
Finally, PHMSA advises operators
that while it is permitted to incorporate
material into an FRP by reference, this
practice may inhibit regulators’ and
incident responders’ access to and
understanding of an FRP during
response to oil spill incidents and
emergencies. For example, when
responding to a spill, responders and
regulators need access to operations,
maintenance, and emergency manuals.
It is important that all of the potential
users of an FRP have immediate access
to all relevant information and
procedures.
Therefore, operators should review
their FRPs and carefully consider each
incorporated document and determine
whether full copies or summaries of
documents should replace the
references. PHMSA suggests operators
include the relevant portion of any
externally referenced procedural
manual that is required in the FRP, by
provisions of 49 CFR part 194. This
practice will also allow PHMSA to more
effectively determine that the operator’s
FRP procedures are consistent with Part
194 requirements.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. chapter 601: 49 CFR
1.53.
Issued in Washington, DC, on January 22,
2014.
