Section 49 CFR 192.611(a)(3)(iii) requires a pressure test of 0.667 times the alternative maximum allowable operating (Alternative MAOP) for a Class 2 to Class 3 location change. The requested pipeline segment extensions are proposed to be added to special permit Docket Number PHMSA–2020– 0044, due to the pipeline segments being contiguous to existing special permit segments. This special permit is being requested for extending class location changes in lieu of pressure testing or pressure reduction for five (5) special permit segment extensions totaling 10,219 feet (approximately 1.935 miles) of the FGT pipeline system. The proposed special permit segments have been previously pressure tested to either 1,899 pounds per square inch gauge (psig), 1,920 psig, or 1,925 psig.
