Pipeline operators converting pipelines to natural gas service must follow 49 CFR 192.14: Conversion to service subject to this part. GSPC is seeking a waiver from the requirements of 49 CFR 192.14(a)(4), which requires a pressure test to substantiate the maximum allowable operating pressure of the pipeline VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:46 Jun 01, 2020 Jkt 250001 (MAOP) in accordance with 49 CFR part 192, subpart J.

The 16-inch diameter Index 818–9 Pipeline has a maximum operating pressure of 2,875 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) while in CO2 service as a 49 CFR part 195 regulated pipeline. GSPC proposes to lower the Index 818–9 Pipeline MAOP to 1,480 psig for operation as a 49 CFR part 192 regulated natural gas transmission pipeline. The 16-inch diameter Index 818–9 Pipeline is 61-miles in length and begins at a point southeast of Heidelberg, Mississippi, and runs northeast to the Kemper County Power Plant in Kemper County, Mississippi.
