Dear Mr. Slagg:
We regret the delay in responding to your request for an interpretation of §192.201(a)(2)(i), and it is our conclusion that an interpretation, as such, is not necessary. You are correct in stating that §192.201(a)(2)(i), when it states "may not exceed," means "may never exceed."
The allowable override of 10 percent of the MAOP is included in the regulation which, for your example, amounts to 6 psig. The MAOP plus the 6 psig equals 66 psig and not the 105 psig which the calculations, submitted by the operator, showed that the system could be subjected to for 21 seconds.
According to the relief regulator's manufacturer (see copy of Bulletin P-13F enclosed), the 2-inch model 63F back pressure regulator is undersized for this application.
If you have any further questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Melvin A. Judah
Acting Associate Director
