Community Assistance & Technical Services (CATS)
Community Liaison (CL)
Why? • More appropriately aligns with current roles and
responsibilities • Better articulates role to various stakeholders • Stakeholders can more clearly interface with the
agency staff • CATS acronym was too long and difficult to explain
Name Change
Effective: January 1, 2017

Underlying Principles • It is the responsibility of the operator to understand
and manage the risks associated with their pipelines • PHMSA’s primary role - establish minimum safety
standards (defined in the regulations by required risk control practices) and verify the operators perform to these standards
• PHMSA strives to impact operator performance beyond mere compliance with the regulations
• Focus is on PERFORMANCE
![Page 9: U.S. DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Bill... · 2017. 7. 13. · PHMSA originally published an Interim Final Rule on June 30, 2016, (81 FR 42564).

Executive Orders & Memos Many relate to Pipeline Infrastructure • Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth -
immediately review existing regulations that potentially burden – "burden" means to unnecessarily obstruct, delay, curtail, or otherwise
impose significant costs on the siting, permitting, production, utilization, transmission, or delivery of energy resources.”
• Elimination of at least two prior regulations for every one new regulation that is issued
• Alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people
• Streamline and expedite, in a manner consistent with law, environmental reviews and approvals for all infrastructure projects

PHMSA Approaches to Promote Improved Performance (1/2)
• Conduct physical and programmatic inspections (management systems, procedures, and processes)
• Clarify expectations through range of public communications (regulations, published protocols, guidance documents including ADBs, public meetings, enforcement transparency, outreach, education)
• Facilitate/promote adoption of a Safety Management System…..
![Page 11: U.S. DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Bill... · 2017. 7. 13. · PHMSA originally published an Interim Final Rule on June 30, 2016, (81 FR 42564).

PHMSA Approaches to Promote Improved Performance (2/2)
• Participate in consensus standards development
• Promote public awareness, damage prevention programs and equip emergency responders
• Conduct accident and safety investigations
• Communicate directly with operators on their challenges
![Page 12: U.S. DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Bill... · 2017. 7. 13. · PHMSA originally published an Interim Final Rule on June 30, 2016, (81 FR 42564).

The Heterogeneous Regulatory Environment we are in.
• Hundreds of pipeline operators; thousands of “systems” • Sizes range from mega-corporations to “mom and pop” • Multiple product mixes. • Varying pipeline ages and materials • Pipelines traverse long distances with different operating
environments (geography, soil, weather, etc.) • Pipelines can be impacted by “outsiders” (public, excavators,
farmers, etc.) • Pipelines criss-cross the country, involving every state.

Inspection Scheduling Policy
Risk Ranking Index Model (RRIM) calculates a risk score for each Unit in an Inspection System. The average risk score for all Units is the Inspection System (IS) risk score.

Strategy for performing risk-informed regulatory inspections that determines the inspection scope and allocates inspection resources based on pipeline risks. Allows for the combination of previous discrete inspections types , e.g. OQ, CRM, Standard, to be combined into one unified inspection.
Integrated Inspection

The II process utilizes the Inspection Assistant to leverage prior inspection knowledge, concerns and coverage while allowing flexibility in determining the scope of the inspection while still ensuring that the core, high risk elements are always addressed.

II provides for a formalized process to gather both historical information regarding the operator, the pipeline system attributes, and previous enforcement using PHMSA’s existing databases like the Pipeline Data Mart, NPMS, and SMART, as well as real time data and by using a screening process it allows for identification of risk drivers that may have occurred recently.

Refocus Inspection Priorities Based on Lessons Learned

• Focus on Change (Data is quickly dated) - New operator or new employees - Change in operating conditions flow reversal. - Change in assets, e.g. pump stations, commodities. - Change in environmental condition – ground movement, flooding, nearby construction - Spend more time validating the accuracy of the ILIs – push for more varied anomaly digs

ADB 2016-01 • ADB 2016-01 reiterates those actions that an
operator should take prior to, during, and following abnormal events.
• As shown in these events, river bottom scour and channel migration may occur due to seasonal flooding, increased stream velocities, and manmade and natural river bank restrictions.
• Additionally, the safety of valves, regulators, relief sets, pressure sensors, and other facilities normally above ground or above water can be jeopardized when covered by water

ADB–2016–02 • In addition, operator’s O&M processes and
procedures should be reviewed and updated at least annually, unless operational inspections for integrity warrant shorter review periods.
• O&M processes and procedures should include data collection and integration, risk assessments, monitoring, operational limits, mitigation measures, and record keeping for any underground storage facility threat that could impact public safety, operating personnel, or the environment due to leakage, failure, or abnormal operating conditions whether above ground or underground.

ADB–2016–04 • Subject - Ineffective Protection, Detection, and
Mitigation of Corrosion Resulting From Insulated Coatings on Buried Pipelines
• PHMSA’ failure investigation of the Plains Pipeline May 19, 2015, accident in Santa Barbara, CA
• Operators are reminded to review their pipeline operations to ensure that pipeline segments that are both buried and insulated have effective coating and corrosion-control systems to protect against cathodic protection shielding, conduct in-line inspections for all threats, and ensure in-line inspection tool findings are accurate, verified, and conducted for all pipeline threats.

ADB–2016–04 • Employ ILI data analysis techniques to account for the
potential growth of Corrosion Under Insulation, including interaction criteria for anomaly assessment
• ILI data, subsequent analysis of the data, and pipeline excavations should: – Confirm the accuracy of the ILI data to characterize the extent and
depth of the external corrosion and ILI tolerances and unity charts – Follow the ILI guidelines of API Standard 1163 – Use additional or more frequent reassessment intervals and
confirmations – Assess and mitigate operational and environmental conditions in
shielded and insulated coatings that lead to excessive corrosion growth rates, pipe steel cracking, and all other threats.

ADB-2016-05 • The process and requirements for pipeline abandonment
are captured in §§ 192.727 and 195.402(c)(10) for gas and hazardous liquid pipelines, respectively. Pipelines abandoned after the effective date of the regulations must comply with requirements to purge all combustibles and seal any facilities left in place.
• The last owner or operator of abandoned offshore facilities and abandoned onshore facilities that cross over, under, or through commercially navigable waterways must file a report with PHMSA.
• PHMSA regulations define the term “abandoned” to mean permanently removed from service.

ADB-2016-07 • PHMSA recommends operators frequently and
consistently review their data—including class location data for potential inaccuracies or limitations, and add a buffer zone to the calculated PIR to help ensure proper HCA identification.
• The purpose and usage of buildings, open structures, and outside areas can shift over time, changing the number of ‘‘identified sites’’ in a PIR, and therefore, whether an area is an HCA.
• PHMSA believes that if operators review class location and PIR data on an annual basis as a part of their IM programs, the accuracy of HCA determinations will be greatly improved.
