Dear Mr. Valentine:

This is in response to your letter of August 8, 1974, in Which you suggest that the word "not” should be inserted in sections 192.455(d) and 192.457(a) to clarify that coated and tested pipe is acceptable without cathodic protection.

There is no error in the regulations as published. The intention of the regulations is that pipe must be cathodically protected as well as coated. We hope this clarifies the matter for you.

Sincerely,

Original signed by:
Joseph C. Caldwell
Director
Office of Pipeline Safety
