Dear Mr. lier:
This is in response to your letter dated August 10, 1984, submitting a notification under §195.8 of the proposed use of a 1000' section and a 420' section of "Pag-O-Flex" pipe in an offshore pipeline.
We understand that this type of flexible pipe has been used successfully offshore in situations similar to those you propose. Further, the proposed test pressure exceeds that required by §195.302(b)(2). Consequently, we find that your proposal is not unduly hazardous.
Sincerely,
Original signed by
Richard L Beam
Associate Director for
Pipeline Safety Regulation
