Der Mr. Finnegan:
Your letter of October 26, 1972, questions whether 18 U.S.C §§831-835 and 49 USC §1655(e)(4) cover the transportation of anhydrous ammonia in pipeliens. You describe the pipeliens in question as interstate lines having a pumping station with storage facilities but no terminals within the State.
The statutes to which you refer are the same as we cited in our letter of September 28, 1972. These statutes are the authority under which the Department of Transprtation regulates the transportation of hazardous materials, including anhydrous ammonia, by pipelin in interstate commerce.
For your further information, the statutory authority in this regard is implemented in the regulatiosn contained in 49 CFR Part 195 entiteld “transprotation of Liquids by Pipelines.” A copy of Part 195 is enclosed. The scope of Part 195 is set forth in §195.1. since anhydrous ammonia is listed as a hazardous material in Part 172, its transprotation by pipelien in interstate commerce is governed by Part 195.
If we may be of further assistance, please call on us.
Sisncerely,
SIGNED
Joseph C. Caldwell
Director
Office of Pipeline Safety
