Dear Mr. DeFraites:

This is in reply to your letter of December 17, 1970, concerning the filing requirements of 49
CFR, Section 192.17.

We would expect a municipality filing the required plan to at least meet all the requirements of
inspection and maintenance of 49 CFR, Part 192, a copy of which is enclosed.

We have no sample forms or guidelines for inspection and maintenance plans. We are hopeful
that, after the first submission of annual reporting forms and of plans of inspection and
maintenance that we will able to develop such forms and guidelines.

Thank you for your interest in the pipeline safety program.

Sincerely,

/signed/

Joseph C. Caldwell
Director, Acting
Office of Pipeline Safety
