§ 260.8 System flow diagrams: Format
No. FERC 567.
(a) Each Major natural gas pipeline
company, having a system delivery capacity in excess of 100,000 Mcf per day
(measured at 14.73 p.s.i.a. and 60 °F.),
shall file with the Commission by June
1 of each year five (5) copies of a diagram or diagrams reflecting operating
conditions on its main transmission
system during the previous twelve
months ended December 31. For purposes of system peak deliveries, the
heating season overlapping the year’s
end shall be used. Facilities shall be
those installed and in operation on December 31 of the reporting year. All
volumes shall be reported on a uniform
stated pressure and temperature base.
(b) The diagram or diagrams shall include the following items of information:
(1) Nominal diameter (inches) of each
pipeline.

(2) Miles of pipeline (to nearest 0.1
mile) between points of intake, delivery, river crossings, storage fields,
crossovers, compressor stations and
connections with other pipeline companies.
(3) Direction of flow in the pipelines.
If direction of flow can be reversed at
compressor stations, so indicate.
(4) Maximum permissible operating
pressure for each pipeline at discharge
side of each compressor station or
other critical point, determined by the
Department of Transportation’s safety
standards.
(5) Total horsepower of compressor
engines installed at each compressor
station.
(6) Designed suction pressure for each
compressor station, p.s.i.g.
(7) Designed discharge pressure for
each station, p.s.i.g.
(8) Maximum volume, Mcf per day
that can be compressed at each compressor station under conditions of suction and discharge set forth in paragraphs (b) (6) and (7) of this section. If
direction of flow affects these factors
provide the information for each direction of flow.
(9) The fuel requirement at each compressor station under conditions described in paragraph (b)(8) of this section.
(10) Pressure in the pipeline at points
of emergency interconnection with
other pipeline companies which can
normally be expected to exist, and the
volume which could be delivered or received at such emergency interconnection points at such pressures. Give the
name of the interconnecting company.
(11) For each storage field, connected
to the system and operated by the respondent pipeline company, the maximum dependable daily and seasonal
withdrawal volumes available under
normal conditions of operation.
(12) Volumes delivered: (i) The average daily volumes delivered at each
takeoff point, (ii) the volumes delivered at each takeoff point on the day of
maximum coincidental delivery, and
(iii) the maximum daily volumes (noncoincidental) delivered to each customer under rates subject to FERC jurisdiction.

§ 260.9 Reports by natural gas pipeline
companies on service interruptions
and damage to facilities.
(a)(1) Every natural gas company
must report to the Director, Division
of Pipeline Certificates, at the earliest
feasible time:
(i) Damage to any jurisdictional natural gas facilities other than liquefied
natural gas facilities caused by a hurricane, earthquake or other natural disaster or terrorist activity that results
in a loss of or reduction in pipeline
throughput or storage deliverability;
and
(ii) Serious interruptions of service
to any shipper involving jurisdictional
natural gas facilities other than liquefied natural gas facilities. Such serious
interruptions of service shall include
interruptions of service to communities, major government installations
and large industrial plants outside of
communities or any other interruptions which are significant in the judgment of the pipeline company. Interruptible service interrupted in accordance with the provisions of filed tariffs,
interruptions of service resulting from
planned maintenance or construction
and interruptions of service of less
than three hours duration need not be
reported.
(2) In the event of damage to a natural gas company’s jurisdictional natural gas facilities other than liquefied
natural gas facilities by reason other
than hurricane, earthquake or other

§ 260.9
natural disaster or terrorist activity,
the natural gas company should report

company’s discretion pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) shall be made at the earliest feasible time and must state:
(i) The location and cause of the service interruption or damage to natural
gas pipeline or storage facilities;
(ii) The nature of any damage to
pipeline or storage facilities;
(iii) Specific identification of any facilities damaged;

in a natural gas company’s discretion,
the natural gas company shall report
to the Director, Division of Pipeline
