SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA has received a special permit request from TransCanada (present owner and operator of the Columbia Pipeline Group (CPG) Dundee Storage Field, which was formerly owned and operated by Columbia Gas Transmission) for the extension of a previously issued special permit. On March 3, 2005, PHMSA issued a special permit to Columbia Gas Transmission for the installation, operation, and testing of approximately 4,200 feet of 4inch diameter fiberglass reinforced polyethylene known as Fiberspar® spooled, non-metallic, composite line pipe in its CPG Dundee Storage Field, located in Schulyer County, New York. The special permit provided variance from 49 CFR 192.53(c), 192.121, 192.123, and 192.619(a). TransCanada has requested a continuation of the existing special permit variances and conditions contingent upon the continued testing of sample pipe as set forth in the original special permit. The maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of the CPG Dundee Storage Field Fiberspar pipeline remains at 825 pounds per square inch gauge. There have been no changes in the MAOP or class location, and no high consequence areas have developed on the CPG Dundee Storage Field Fiberspar pipeline. The proposed special permit renewal and Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for TransCanada’s request for the CPG Dundee Storage Field pipeline is available in Docket Number PHMSA– RSPA–2004–18757, at https:// VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:36 Jul 18, 2019 Jkt 247001 www.Regulations.gov. We invite interested persons to participate by reviewing the special permit renewal request and DEA at https:// www.Regulations.gov, and by submitting written comments, data, or other views. Please include any comments on potential safety and environmental impacts that may result if the special permit is renewed. Before issuing a decision on the special permit renewal request, PHMSA will evaluate all comments received on or before the comment closing date. Comments received after the closing date will be evaluated if it is possible to do so without incurring additional expense or delay. PHMSA will consider each relevant comment we receive in making our decision to grant a special permit renewal or deny a request. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 8, 2019, under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.97. Alan K. Mayberry, Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
