Pipeline Safety: Natural Gas and HL Pipeline Operators
• PHMSA advises operators, beginning with MIS reports due by
March 15, 2010, OPS will begin collecting annual drug and
alcohol testing data for contractor employees. Contractors will
be identified both by name and business tax identification
number (BTIN) in the MIS report. The inclusion of the BTIN
will ensure employees of the same contractor are only counted
once when OPS calculates the required random testing rate.

Pipeline Safety: Natural Gas and HL Pipeline Operators
• The total number of covered employees is not limited to those who
physically worked in a maintenance, operations, or emergency
response role during the previous calendar year. The definition of
"performs a covered function" in Part 199.3 includes actually
performing, ready to perform, or immediately available to
perform a covered function. Operators need to be aware of this
definition when calculating the number of covered employees for
both the operator and contractors. Employees who "perform a
covered function", are required to be included in the random
drug testing pool. The average size of a properly maintained
random drug testing pool defines the number of covered employees.

Pipeline Safety: Natural Gas and HL Pipeline Operators
• Owners and operators of recently constructed large diameter
pipelines should evaluate these lines for potential girth weld failures
due to misalignment and other issues by reviewing construction and
operating records and conducting engineering reviews as necessary.
The assessments should cover all 20-inch or greater, high strength
line pipe transitions and cut factory bends or induction bends
installed during 2008 and 2009.
• Evaluations should include material specifications, field
construction procedures, caliper tool results, deformation tool
results, welding procedures including back welding, NDT records,
failures or leaks during hydrostatic testing, or in-service operations
to identify systemic problems with pipe girth weld geometry.

Pipeline Safety: Updates to Pipeline and LNG Reporting
Requirements
• Reporting Updates: As part of PHMSA's strategy to become a more

following general data and data management improvements to the
pipeline safety regulations:
• Would modify the scope in 49 CFR 191.1 to reflect the changes

• Reporting Updates: Would change the definition of an "incident" in

not intentionally set by the operator. The proposal also establishes a
volumetric basis for reporting unexpected or unintentional gas loss.
• Would require operators to report and file data electronically
whenever possible. The electronic submission of data will increase
the accuracy and quality of data collected, reduce the reporting
burden on operators, and improve PHMSA's data integration efforts.

PHMSA believes that the NFPA 58 and 59 committees should
analyze the following topics in consideration of public safety:
Internal valves on tank penetrations transporting propane, relief
valves, equipment separation and location distances, facility
cathodic protection, and requirements for "retroactive" application
of the standards.
• PHMSA will address the subject of NFPA 58 and 59 primacy

Areas (HCA), for pipelines covered by 192.711 pertain only to
non-integrity management repairs.
• Subpart K does not require a new pressure test be conducted at the
time of uprating unless the old pressure test cannot justify the
uprated pressure. 192.555(c) explicitly allows the use of a previous
pressure test as the basis for establishing a higher MAOP in higher
stress pipelines. Since 192.555(c) allows a previous pressure test,
PHMSA will now allow a previous pressure test for pipelines under
192.557 for steel pipelines and in plastic, cast iron, and ductile iron
pipelines.
