Mr. H. R. Garabrant
Gas Utilities Safety Engineer
Arizona Corporation Commission
1688 West Adams

Dear Mr. Garabrant:

Thank you for your letter of April 13, 1974, asking whether the class locations prescribed in 49 CFR 192 apply to a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) line since LPG is a compressed gas in liquid form.

The class locations in 49 CFR Part 192 were established under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 (49 USC 1671 et seq.) for the safety regulation of pipelines used in the transportation of compressed gases in liquid form.  When these liquids, such as LPG, are transported by pipeline by a carrier engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, the transportation is covered by the regulations in 49 CFR Part 195 promulgated under the Transportation of Explosives Act (18 USC B 31 et seq.).

We trust this adequately responds to your inquiry.

Sincerely,

/signed/

Joseph C. Caldwell

Director

Office of Pipeline Safety
