    (a) Use these procedures to select surface sampling sites for 
natural gas pipe to determine its PCB surface concentration for 
abandonment-in-place or removal and disposal off-site in accordance with 
Sec. 761.60(b)(5).
    (b) ``Pipe segment'' means a length of natural gas pipe that has 
been removed from the pipeline system to be disposed of or reused, and 
that is usually approximately 12.2 meters (40 feet) or shorter in 
length. Pipe segments are usually linear.
    (c) ``Pipeline section'' means a length of natural gas pipe that has 
been cut or otherwise separated from the active pipeline, usually for 
purposes of abandonment, and that is usually longer than 12.2 meters in
