Dear Mr. Baumgardner:
In your February 2, 1976, letter to the Office of Pipeline Safety Operations you ask: "Would
192.465 requiring tests on separately protected service lines once every 10 years include meter
risers where metal is the gas carrier when used with a plastic service line?"
If the gas is carried in metal piping that extends below the ground surface, Subpart I - Requirements for Corrosion Control must be complied with. This would require operators of
such piping to monitor these short sections as required in 192.465(a).
Thank you for your interest in pipeline safety.
Sincerely,
Cesar DeLeon
Acting Director
Office of Pipeline
Safety Operations
