Re: Withdrawal of Interpretation Letter PI-17-0014

Dear Mr. Gore:

On April 26, 2018, PHMSA responded to your request for an interpretation of the Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 195 with respect to the scope of the 180-day evaluation and remediation requirement in § 195.452(h)(4)(iii)(H) - Corrosion of or along a longitudinal seam weld. This letter is to inform you that PHMSA has withdrawn the response to your interpretation letter. PHMSA has issued a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) on Corrosion along a Longitudinal Seam, FAQ 7.16, to further address the issue.

If we can be of further assistance, please contact Joseph Berry at 720-601-3577.

Sincerely,

John A. Gale
Director, Office of Standards and Rulemaking
