Re: Withdrawal of Interpretation Letter PI-20-0014 Dear Mr. Williamson:

On January 10, 2022, 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 definition of the term “buried” in 49 CFR § 195.553. This letter is to inform you that PHMSA has withdrawn that response to further consider the matter. PHMSA will provide further information upon completion of its review.

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
