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, among
other remedial actions such as marking
and reburial in some cases, the operator
must contact the National Response
Center by telephone within 24 hours of
discovery and report the location of the
exposed pipeline. PHMSA’s 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).
