construction in the sidewall and tread is
the primary safety concern of these
industries. In this case, because of the
sidewall marking indicate that some
steel plies exist in the tire sidewall, this
potential safety concern does not exist.
NHTSA’S Decision: In consideration
of the foregoing, NHTSA finds that SRI
has met its burden of persuasion that
the subject FMVSS No. 119
noncompliance in the affected tires is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, SRI’s petition is hereby
granted and SRI is consequently
exempted from the obligation of
providing notification of, and a free
remedy for, that noncompliance under
49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this
decision only applies to the subject tires
that SRI no longer controlled at the time
it determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, the granting of this
petition does not relieve equipment
distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale,
or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant tires under their
control after SRI notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.

Abstract: The Federal pipeline safety
regulations at 49 CFR 192.612 and

appropriate periodic underwater
inspections in the Gulf of Mexico and
its inlets. If an operator discovers that
its underwater pipeline is exposed or
poses a hazard to navigation, the
operator must contact the National
Response Center by telephone within 24
hours of discovery and report the
location of the exposed pipeline, among
other remedial actions, such as marking
and reburial in some cases. The Federal
pipeline safety regulations for reporting
the abandonment of underwater
pipelines can be found at 49 CFR
192.727 and 195.59. These provisions
contain certain requirements for
disconnecting and purging abandoned
pipelines and require operators to notify
PHMSA of each abandoned offshore
pipeline facility or each abandoned
onshore pipeline facility that crosses
over, under or through a commercially
navigable waterway.
Affected Public: Operators of pipeline
facilities (except master meter
operators).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 27, 2009, PHMSA issued a
special permit (PHMSA–2007–0039) to
Gulf South Pipeline Company (GSPC)
for the 30-inch diameter transmission
pipeline (TPL–880) pipeline located in
Mobile County, Alabama. Due to several
Class 1 to Class 3 location change of
several areas within a 10.8-mile segment
on the TPL–880 pipeline, GSPC
petitioned PHMSA for an extension of
the previously issued special permit.
The line transports natural gas from
the Gulf of Mexico to other pipelines
located in Alabama. The special permit
inspection area includes 22 miles of the
TPL–880 pipeline, extending from the
beginning of the line at Station Number
0+00 to the pig trap at Airport
Compressor Station Number 1201+68.
The new permit request is located
within the existing inspection area of
Special Permit PHMSA–2007–0039,
extends from Station Number 632+60 to
Station Number 1201+68, is 10.8 miles
long, and is in a suburban area of farm,
pasture, and woodland. The current
maximum allowable operation pressure
(MAOP) for the TPL–880 is 1,073 psig.
In the special permit request, GSPC
seeks to waive compliance from the
requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a),
which requires the pressure reduction,
pressure testing, or pipe replacements to
