ADMINISTERING A SAFETY PROGRAM REQUIRED BY 49 CFR 192, 194, 195, OR 199 COVERING PIPELINE FACILITIES OPERATED
UNDER MULTIPLE OPIDs
Sometimes, existing pipelines, pipeline segments, or pipeline facilities are part of a common PHMSA-required pipeline safety program which
also involves other assets covered by additional OPIDs. (These common safety programs are sometimes referred to as “umbrella” safety
programs.) The questions in this section notify PHMSA of changes in these relationships so that compliance performance can be accurately
portrayed, as well as to facilitate PHMSA’s resource planning and preparation in the conduct of inspections of these PHMSA-required safety
programs.
Important Instruction to Operator: When a common PHMSA-required pipeline safety program exists which covers assets having multiple OPID
numbers, the Operators assigned those OPIDs are required to inform PHMSA as to which one of the various OPIDs is “primary” for the
purposes of PHMSA inspections and Operator Registry Reporting (e.g., which OPID should be contacted and referred to when PHMSA or a
state exercising jurisdiction intends to inspect that safety program), and must do so for each PHMSA-required pipeline safety program listed
below.
1.

List the new Operator-designated “primary” OPID for each common PHMSA-required pipeline safety program associated with this
Operator Registry Notification, and also list the previous “primary” OPID associated with the program. Those programs not selected

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM PHMSA F 1000.2 (Rev. xx-20xx)
OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
All section references are to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). The Operator
Registry Notification is used by operators to report certain asset-changing or program-changing events
associated with pipelines, pipeline facilities, or LNG facilities included under an OPID.
Each operator of a gas or hazardous liquid pipeline, or pipeline facility, or LNG plant or LNG
facility is required to submit notification of specified events to PHMSA in accordance with
§191.22(c) or §195.64(c). When a specified event involves more than one operator (for example,
when one operator acquires a pipeline system which was divested by another operator), all operators
involved are required to submit a notification separately reflecting the event. Operators must submit
notification either 60 days (or more) before the planned occurrence or 60 days (or less) after the
occurrence, as specified in these regulations.
The OPID notification requirements do not apply to an operator that either solely operates a
petroleum gas system that serves fewer than 100 customers from a single source or master meter
systems (11/10/11;76 FR 70217).
If you need copies of the Form PHMSA F 1000.2 and/or instructions they can be found on the Pipeline
Safety Community main page, http://phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline, by clicking the Library hyperlink and
then selecting the Forms link under the “Mini-Menu” on the right side of the page. If you have
questions about this form or these instructions, contact the PHMSA Information Resources Manager at
(202) 366-8075.

ONLINE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The following two requirements must be fulfilled prior to submitting data online:
1. You must have an Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) provided Operator Identification
Number (OPID) and Personal Identification Number (PIN)/password. If you do not
have one, please complete and submit the form located on the PHMSA Portal web site
at https://portal.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline to obtain one.
2. You must have a Username and Password obtained by registering through the PHMSA
Portal. If you have an OPS OPID and PIN/password, you may obtain a Username and
Password through the PHMSA Portal.
Important: Each operator without an OPID is to plan accordingly and allow for several weeks prior to
the due date of the Report to obtain their OPID from PHMSA.

request for an alternate reporting method. Operators must follow the requirements in §191.7(d) or
§195.58(d) to request an alternate reporting method and must comply with any conditions imposed as
part of PHMSA’s approval of an alternate reporting method.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Make an entry in each block which is applicable. Estimate data only if necessary. Avoid entering any
data as UNKNOWN or 0 (zero) except where zero is appropriate to indicate that there were no
instances or amounts of the attribute being reported.
Do not report pipeline miles in feet. When reporting mileages that are less than 10 miles or when
reporting portions of a mile, convert feet into a decimal notation (e.g. 2,640 feet = .5 miles) and report
mileage using decimals rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile. Operators may round all mileages that
are greater than 10 miles to the nearest mile. Do not use fractions.

OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
STEP 2 – SELECT TYPE OF NOTIFICATION
Check the box or boxes for the appropriate “Type(s)” of Operator Registry Notification being
submitted, and complete the items for each selection. If changes in ownership or in the entity
responsible, or in pipelines and/or facilities newly constructed, acquired, or divested lead to a change
in the primary responsibility for one or more PHMSA-required safety program, Operators should
complete Type C in addition to the Type describing the change in pipelines and/or facilities included
in this Operator Registry Notification. Operators should complete Type C separately for each facility
type selected in STEP 1, Question 7, for which the abovementioned change(s) applies.
For “Types” of Notifications which are not applicable, Operators should leave those sections of this
STEP 2 blank.

Type A – Change in the Name of the Operator of an existing pipeline, pipeline facility, or LNG
plant or LNG facility
1. Report here a change in company name that does NOT involve a change in the entity (e.g.,
company, municipality) with actual responsibility for operating the pipeline and/or facilities covered
by this OPID.
2. Include a brief explanation of the reason for the change. Reasons for such a name change may be
corporate “re-branding,” acquisition by a company not otherwise involved in pipeline operation, etc.
3. Indicate the date on which the Operator’s name changed, as it should be reflected in PHMSA’s
records.
Note: The purpose of this Notification type is simply to conform the identification of the Operator in
PHMSA’s records and a given OPID with the name under which the Operator does business.

Type B – Change in the entity (e.g., company, municipality) responsible for operating an existing
pipeline, pipeline segment, pipeline facility, or LNG facility
1. Report the OPID Number of the Operator that was previously responsible for (responsible for
operating) the pipeline and/or facilities. Report also the name of the prior Operator. When completing
the form online, the Previous Operator Name is automatically filled in based on the OPID entered in
Question 1. If the name that appears is not correct or does not coincide with the OPID, contact the
PHMSA Information Resources Manager at (202) 366-8075.
2. Provide a brief description of the reason for the change in responsibility.
3. Indicate the date on which the responsible entity (e.g., company, municipality) changed, as it should
be reflected in PHMSA’s records.
Note: If you wish to request that the previous OPID reported in Question 1 be
deactivated by PHMSA (e.g., all of the pipelines and/or facilities included under this
Rev. xx-20xx

Page 4 of 13

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM PHMSA F 1000.2 (Rev. xx-20xx)
OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
previous OPID are now included under another OPID or are no longer in need of an
OPID), contact the PHMSA Information Resources Manager at (202) 366-8075.

Type C – Change in the primary entity responsible (i.e., with an assigned OPID) for managing or
administering a safety program required by 49 CFR 192, 193, 194, 195, or 199 covering pipeline
facilities operated under multiple OPIDs
Note: Operators should complete Type C separately for each facility type selected in STEP 1,
Question 7, for which this change applies. In other words, if the Notification covers Gas
Transmission, Gas Gathering, as well as Hazardous Liquid facilities, and there is an accompanying
change in the primary entity responsible for managing or administering a Gas Transmission safety
program as well as a change in the primary entity responsible for managing or administering a
Hazardous Liquid safety program, Type C is to be completed two separate times – once for Gas
Transmission and once for Hazardous Liquid.
Pipeline safety regulations require operators to prepare and implement a number of safety programs,
depending on the type of pipelines and/or facilities they operate. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Anti-Drug Plan and Alcohol Misuse Plan (§§199.101, 199.202)
Procedure Manual for Operations, Maintenance, and Emergencies
(§§192.605,
192.615, 195.402)
Damage Prevention Program (§§192.614, 195.442)
Public Awareness/Education Program (§§192.616, 195.440)
Control Room Management Procedures (§§192.631, 195.446)
Operator Qualification Program (§§192.805, 195.505)
Integrity Management Program (§§192.907, 192.1005, 195.452)
Response Plan for Onshore Oil Pipelines (or Alternative State Plan) (§194.101)

Most often, operators prepare separate and independent safety programs for the pipelines and/or
facilities covered by their assigned OPID. In some instances, though (e.g., usually involving larger
operators with multi-state and multi-system operations), one or more of these PHMSA-required safety
programs cover – or are common to - multiple OPIDs. (These common safety programs are sometimes
referred to as “umbrella” safety programs.) When a common (or “umbrella”) PHMSA-required
pipeline safety program(s) exists which covers more than a single OPID, the Operator assigned those
OPIDs is required to report in this section which one of the various OPIDs is “primary” for each
PHMSA-required pipeline safety program. Generally this is the OPID associated with the parent
company, or OPID associated with the operating entity responsible for managing implementation of
the safety program, and usually represents the office which should be contacted and referred to when
PHMSA or a state exercising jurisdiction intends to inspect that safety program. (For example, if the
pipelines covered by an OPID Assignment Request for OPID 67890 are part of an IM Program that is
administered by the operator under its existing OPID 12345, then the primary OPID would be 12345.)
The designation of which of multiple OPIDs is “Primary” is at the discretion of the operator, but it is
important that – once a particular OPID is selected as “Primary” – the operator continue to list this
same OPID as “Primary” in future notifications concerning the safety program in question.
1. Report under this Type C Notification a change (or changes) in the primary entity responsible for
Rev. xx-20xx

Page 5 of 13

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM PHMSA F 1000.2 (Rev. xx-20xx)
OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
any of the listed PHMSA-required safety programs. Check the box for each program for which
primary responsibility has changed. For each such change, list the OPID which is newly considered
primary as well as the OPID previously considered primary for that safety program, along with the
date of this change as it should appear in PHMSA records. This effective date is very important as it
will serve both as the terminating date in PHMSA records for compliance performance and incident
history associated with the OPID which was previously considered primary for that safety program and
as the initiating date for compliance performance and incident history for the OPID which is newly
considered primary. Make no entry for boxes not checked (i.e., where a common safety program does
not exist or where primary responsibility has not changed).

Type D – Acquisition or divestiture of 50 or more miles of pipeline or pipeline system subject to
49 CFR 192 or 195
1. Changes in ownership can involve an acquisition (i.e., purchase) of one or more pipelines, pipeline
segments, and/or facilities, a divestiture (i.e., sale), or both. (Note: If an entire hazardous liquid
pipeline facility is being acquired or divested, report as a Type E Notification. This distinction
between a Type D and a Type E Notification is only applicable to hazardous liquid pipelines and
facilities. “Pipeline facility” is defined in Part 195 and includes “new and existing pipelines, rights-ofway, and any equipment, facility, or building used in the transportation” of the commodity. The
acquisition/divestiture of an entire pipeline subject to Part 195 – even consisting of a small amount of
pipeline miles - would need to be reported as Type E while the acquisition/divestiture of the same
amount of pipe subject to Part 195 that did not involve the sale of a complete facility would not need to
be reported under Type D unless it met the 50 or more mile threshold. (See Type E Notification
below.)) Check the appropriate box to indicate whether an acquisition or a divestiture is involved in
the transaction being reported in this Notification. If the transaction involved both an acquisition and a
divestiture AND they both officially transpired on the same date, they may both be submitted within a
single Type D Notification. If this is the case, complete both Questions 2 and 3. If both an acquisition
and a divestiture occurred, but they did not officially transpire on the same date, then two separate
Notifications must be submitted.
2. For an acquisition, report the previous Operator’s OPID Number or indicate that no OPID was
assigned to that Operator. Existing pipelines and/or facilities may not have been operated under an
assigned OPID due to an inadvertent oversight or because they are being converted to service subject
to the pipeline safety regulations under §192.14 or §195.5. Operators should report the prior OPID
even if that OPID is still being used for other pipelines and/or facilities (e.g., the Operator acquired
only part of a pipeline system operating under an existing OPID). For online Notifications, the
previous Operator’s name will automatically be entered based on the OPID entered. If the name that
appears is not correct or does not coincide with the OPID Number, contact the PHMSA Information
Resources Manager at (202) 366-8075.
3. For a divestiture, report the OPID of the new owner, if one has been assigned. Again, for online
Notifications, the divesting Operator’s name will automatically be entered based on the OPID entered
in STEP 1.
Note: If you wish to request that the OPID reported in STEP 1 be deactivated by
PHMSA (e.g., all of the pipelines and/or facilities included under this previous OPID
are now included under another OPID or are no longer in need of an OPID), contact the

OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
PHMSA Information Resources Manager at (202) 366-8075.
4. Indicate the date on which the acquisition and/or divestiture officially transpired, as it should be
reflected in PHMSA’s records.

Type E – Acquisition or divestiture of an existing pipeline facility subject to 49 CFR 195
This Type E Notification only applies to hazardous liquid pipelines and facilities. 49 CFR 195 defines
a pipeline facility as new and existing pipe, rights-of-way, and any equipment, facility, or building
used in the transportation of hazardous liquids or carbon dioxide. Therefore, the acquisition/divestiture
of an existing hazardous liquid pipeline facility thus involves transfer of ownership for an entire
pipeline and responsibility for its operations. Acquisition/divestiture of a portion of an existing
hazardous liquid pipeline facility should be reported under Type D. This distinction between a Type D
and a Type E Notification is only applicable to hazardous liquid pipelines and facilities.
1 – 4. Instructions for Questions 1 though 4 for this Type E Notification are the same as for Questions
1 through 4 in a Type D Notification (see above).

General guidance for Type F and Type G Notifications
Construction or the below listed work which does not involve line pipe which is expected to cost $10
million or more is to be reported as a Type F Notification. Construction of 10 miles or more of line
pipe - including the replacement of 10 or more miles of an existing pipeline - is to be reported as a
Type G Notification. Construction of line pipe which is expected to cost more than $10 million but
which involves less than 10 miles of line pipe need not be reported.

Type F – Construction or any planned rehabilitation, replacement, modification, upgrade,
uprate, or update of facilities, other than a section of line pipe, that costs $10 million or more
1 and 2. Report the anticipated date that field activities will begin and, if a shutdown is required to
perform the work, the anticipated date of operational start-up.

Type G – Construction of 10 or more miles of a new pipeline (including replacement of 10 or
more miles of existing pipeline)
1 and 2. Report the anticipated dates that field construction activities will begin and the anticipated
date of operational start-up.
3. For gas transmission pipelines only, indicate whether the pipeline will be operated using an
alternative maximum allowable operating pressure per §192.620.

OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
Type H – Construction of a new pipeline facility subject to 49 CFR 195
This Type H Notification only applies to hazardous liquid pipelines and facilities. See Type E for the
definition of a hazardous liquid pipeline facility.
1 and 2. Report the anticipated dates that field construction activities will begin and the anticipated
date of operational start-up.

Type I – Acquisition or divestiture of an existing LNG plant or LNG facility subject to 49 CFR
193
1. Changes in ownership can involve an acquisition (i.e., purchase), a divestiture (i.e., sale), or both.
Check the appropriate box to indicate whether an acquisition or a divestiture is involved in the
transaction being reported in this Notification. If the transaction involved both an acquisition and a
divestiture AND they both officially transpired on the same date, they may both be submitted within a
single Type D Notification. If this is the case, complete both Questions 2 and 3. If both an acquisition
and a divestiture occurred, but they did not officially transpire on the same date, then two separate
Notifications must be submitted.
2. For an acquisition, report the previous Operator’s OPID Number or indicate that no OPID was
assigned to that Operator. Existing LNG plants or LNG facilities may not have been operated under an
assigned OPID due to an inadvertent oversight. Operators should report the previous OPID even if
that OPID is still being used for other pipelines and/or facilities (e.g., the Operator acquired only an
LNG facility that was part of a pipeline system operating under an existing OPID). For online
Notifications, the previous Operator’s name will automatically be entered based on the OPID entered.
If the name that appears is not correct or does not coincide with the OPID Number, contact the
PHMSA Information Resources Manager at (202) 366-8075.
3. For a divestiture, report the OPID of the new owner, if one has been assigned. Again, for online
Notifications, the divesting Operator’s name will automatically be entered based on the OPID entered
in STEP 1.
Note: If you wish to request that the OPID reported in STEP 1 be deactivated by
PHMSA (e.g., all of the pipelines and/or facilities included under this OPID are now
under another OPID or are no longer in need of an OPID), contact the PHMSA
Information Resources Manager at (202) 366-8075.
4. Indicate the date on which the acquisition and/or divestiture officially transpired, as it should be
reflected in PHMSA’s records.
5 (and 6, etc. as needed). Report the indicated information about the acquired or divested plant(s) or
facility(ies).
Onshore and offshore are not defined in Part 193. For purposes of reporting here, operators should
use the definition of offshore in §192.3, namely, “beyond the line of ordinary low water along that
portion of the coast of the United States that is in direct contact with the open seas and beyond the line
marking the seaward limit of inland waters.” Any facility that is located in an area not meeting the
definition of offshore is considered Onshore.

1. The pipelines and/or facilities included in this Operator Registry Notification are associated
with the following types of facilities and transport the following types of commodities: (select all
that apply)
Check the appropriate box or boxes to indicate the type of pipelines and/or facilities for which this
Operator Registry Notification applies. Once the type of pipelines and/or facilities is selected, the
Operator is also then to select the commodities involved which are associated with the type of
pipelines and/or facilities selected. The following definitions are provided to assist operators in
making their selections.
Synthetic Gas - examples include landfill gas, biogas, and manufactured gas based on
naphtha.
Gas Gathering (Regulated) pipelines are determined in accordance with the
requirements of §192.8.
Crude Oil - unrefined oil consisting mainly of hydrocarbons.
Refined and/or Petroleum Product (non-HVL) – flammable, toxic, or corrosive
products obtained from distilling and processing of crude oil, unfinished oils, natural
gas liquids, blend stocks and other miscellaneous hydrocarbon compounds. Examples
include motor gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, aviation gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene,
acetone, benzene, MTBE, naphtha, or other non-HVL petroleum products. In these
instructions, “petroleum products” is meant to be synonymous with “refined products”.

OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
Highly Volatile Liquids (HVLs) – a hazardous liquid which will form a vapor cloud
when released to the atmosphere and which has a vapor pressure exceeding 276 kPa at
37.8º C (100º F). Examples include ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, butylene,
and anhydrous ammonia (NH 3 ).
Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) – a fluid consisting of more than 90 percent carbon dioxide
molecules compressed to a supercritical state.
Fuel Grade Ethanol – a clear, colorless, flammable oxygenated hydrocarbon. Ethanol
is typically produced chemically from ethylene, or biologically from fermentation of
various sugars from carbohydrates found in agricultural crops and cellulosic residues
from crops or wood. This commodity is to be selected only if the pipeline and/or
pipeline facility is used predominantly to transport ethanol which has NOT been
blended with petroleum products. This commodity is sometimes also known as “neat”
ethanol.
Regulated Hazardous Liquid Gathering pipelines are as defined in Part 195.
2. Will any single pipeline or pipeline facility included in this Operator Registry Notification be
subject to BOTH 49 CFR Part 192 AND 49 CFR Part 195 due to the planned transportation of
commodities which are subject to both Parts?
Check the “Yes” box if any single pipeline or pipeline facility will transport both natural or other gas
subject to 49 CFR Part 192 and a hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide subject to 49 CFR Part 195;
otherwise, check “No”.
3. Complete the following section or sections of this Question 3 depending on the type(s) of
facilities selected in STEP 3, Question 1:
Miles under 10 should be reported to the nearest tenth mile; miles over 10 may be rounded to the
nearest mile.
For Gas Distribution, the pipelines and/or facilities covered by this Operator
Registry Notification are:
For Gas Gathering, the pipelines and/or facilities covered by this Operator
Registry Notification are:
For Gas Transmission or Hazardous Liquid, the pipelines and/or facilities covered
by this Operator Registry Notification are:
The series of questions under STEP 3, Question 3 should be completed separately for each of the
following facility types as selected in STEP 3, Question 1: Gas Distribution, Gas Transmission, Gas
Gathering, and/or Hazardous Liquid. In other words, if the Notification covers Gas Distribution, Gas
Transmission, Gas Gathering, and Hazardous Liquid facilities, then STEP 3, Question 3 will need to
be completed four separate times – once for each of these four facility types.

Rev. xx-20xx

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM PHMSA F 1000.2 (Rev. xx-20xx)
OPERATOR REGISTRY NOTIFICATION
For Gas Distribution, indicate the approximate mileage for regulated Mains, as well as all of the states
in which these Mains are physically located.
For Gas Gathering, select whether the pipelines and/or facilities are onshore, offshore, or both, and for
each indicate the total miles of regulated gathering pipelines as well as the states - and, where
applicable, the OCS area(s) - where the gas gathering pipelines and/or facilities are physically located.
For Gas Transmissionand/or Hazardous Liquid, complete the questions for each set of Interstate and
Intrastate assets. Pipelines under a single OPID may be either interstate, intrastate, or both. Check the
appropriate box or boxes to indicate whether the pipelines and/or facilities are interstate or intrastate or
both, and complete the additional questions associated with each.
For gas transmission pipelines, Interstate and Intrastate are defined by statute as:
Interstate gas pipeline means a gas pipeline facility or that part of a gas pipeline facility
that is used to transport gas and is subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 et seq.).
Intrastate gas pipeline means a gas pipeline facility or that part of a gas pipeline facility
that is used to transport gas within a state and is not subject to the jurisdiction of FERC
under the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 et seq.).
For hazardous liquid pipelines, Interstate and Intrastate pipelines are defined in §195.2 as:
Interstate hazardous liquid pipeline means a hazardous liquid pipeline facility or that
part of a hazardous liquid pipeline facility that is used in the transportation of hazardous
liquids or carbon dioxide in interstate or foreign commerce.
Intrastate hazardous liquid pipeline means a hazardous liquid pipeline facility or that
part of a hazardous liquid pipeline facility to which Part 195 applies that is not an
interstate pipeline.
Appendix A to 49 CFR 195 contains PHMSA’s Statement of Policy and Interpretation
on the delineation between interstate and intrastate hazardous liquid pipelines, and
provides additional guidance.
Offshore is defined in §192.3 and §195.2 as “beyond the line of ordinary low water along that portion
of the coast of the United States that is in direct contact with the open seas and beyond the line
marking the seaward limit of inland waters.” Pipe that is located in areas not meeting the definition of
offshore is considered Onshore.
Indicate whether the involved pipelines are located onshore, offshore, or both. Provide the
approximate number of regulated pipeline miles (transmission pipeline miles only for Gas
Transmission; all regulated pipeline miles for Hazardous Liquid, including regulated hazardous liquid
gathering) for each combination as applicable and depending on which Notification Type is involved:
interstate onshore; interstate offshore; intrastate onshore; intrastate offshore; acquired or constructed;
divested. Also list the counties in each state in which onshore pipeline and/or facilities included in this
Operator Registry Notification are located. For interstate offshore pipelines, indicate the OCS (Outer
Continental Shelf) Area(s) and for intrastate offshore pipelines, indicate the state(s).

3b and 3k. For construction of 10 or more miles of new pipeline only (reported as a Type G
Notification), also indicate whether any portions of these pipelines and/or facilities will be installed in
common parallel corridors, rights-of-way, or trenches with other pipelines or utilities, and indicate
which types.
4. Provide a brief and general description of the pipelines and/or facilities covered by this
Operator Registry Notification:
Operators are to provide a general description of the nature and location of the pipelines and/or
facilities covered by this Operator Registry Notification. Operators are to describe each second level
selection from STEP 3, Question 1 separately. For example, if a Gas Distribution Operator checked
both Natural Gas and Propane Gas, they should provide a brief and general description of each type of
system separately. Similarly, if an Operator checked both Gas Transmission and Gas Gathering, they
should provide a brief and general description of each type of system separately.
Operators submitting Notifications on-line will be afforded the opportunity to upload files including
general overview maps, schematics, or drawings. Files can be in PDFformat. Operators submitting
Notifications by alternate methods per §191.7(d) or §195.64(d) are encouraged to attach copies of
general overview maps, schematics, or drawings identifying the facilities.
The following are examples of the minimum descriptions to be provided by operators. For hazardous
liquid, gas transmission, offshore, and gathering pipelines and facilities, accompanying maps,
schematics, or drawings are preferred in lieu of the additional detail that would be needed in this
description were maps, schematics, or drawings not supplied by the operator with this submission.
Example for Gas Distribution Systems
This OPID covers a natural gas distribution system in the Navasota, Texas,
area. The system includes 10 miles of transmission lines, 100 miles of mains, and over
20,000 service lines.
Example for LPG Distribution Systems
This OPID covers five (5) LPG distribution systems serving over 100 customers
each in Florida. These LPG systems serve customers in Tampa, Tallahassee, and West
Palm Beach.
Examples for Gas Transmission Pipeline Systems
The Kanpack Pipeline Company has acquired operation of part of the Flint Hills
Pipeline system in Kansas. The pipeline system comprises 642 miles of transmission
lines of various sizes, three (3) compressor stations, and a storage field. The system
consists of three (3) 24”-30” pipelines in a common ROW between Wamego and
Wichita, Kansas, with numerous laterals of various sizes to cities and towns along the
main lines, and a storage field near Wilsey, KS. Maps of the system are provided rather
than a detailed description due to the numerous laterals and the storage field.
The PT pipeline is a 660-mile long, 26” natural gas pipeline that transports
approx. 800,000 SCFPD. It originates in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and terminates near
Atlanta, Georgia, after passing near Tallahassee, Florida. It connects to pipelines
operated by others at our Garby Station in Walton County, Florida, and our Linkwood
Station in Colquitt County, Georgia. There are 12 intermediate compressor stations.

The Catherine Falls pipeline is a 250-mile long, 16” refined products pipeline
that transports approx. 150,000 BPD. It originates at the Mud Island Refinery in Wood
River, Illinois, and terminates in Columbus, Ohio, at our Pender Terminal (20 tanks
with a total capacity of 1.0 million bbls). There are six (6) intermediate pump stations
and three (3) delivery laterals along this pipeline route: a 10-mile 10” lateral connecting
in Effingham County, Illinois; a 2-mile 8” lateral connecting in Marion County,
Indiana; and a 4-mile 8” lateral connecting in Montgomery County, Ohio. There are no
connecting pipelines at Pender Terminal as all products are delivered via truck racks.
Example for an Offshore Pipeline System
This OPID covers an offshore pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico. A map
