Abstract: The Pipeline Safety regulations contained within 49 CFR Part 195 require hazardous liquid operators to notify PHMSA in various instances. 49 CFR 195.414 requires hazardous liquid operators who are unable to inspect their pipeline facilities within 72 hours of an extreme weather event to notify the appropriate PHMSA Region Director as soon as practicable. 49 CFR 195.452 requires operators of pipelines that cannot accommodate an in-line inspection tool to file a petition in compliance with 49 CFR 190.9. PHMSA expects to receive 10 of these notifications annually. These mandatory notifications help PHMSA to stay abreast of issues related to the health and safety of the nation's pipeline infrastructure.
