Dear Mr. Giles:
We have reviewed the request in your letter of January 22, 1974, for an interpretation as to
whether the coated flexible steel casing described in your letter requires cathodic protection.
We find that no cathodic protection is required for this protective flexible steel casing because
the casing is not considered part of a pipeline as that term is defined in Section 192.3 of the
Federal safety standards. However, the mechanical connection between the plastic service pipe and steel
fitting just above the ground level must comply with Section 192.281(e) of the Federal standards.
Thank you for your interest. We trust this answers your question satisfactorily.
Sincerely,
/signed/
Joseph C. Caldwell
Director
Office of Pipeline Safety
