[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 49, Volume 3] [Revised as of October 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 49CFR195.1] [Page 125-126] TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER I--RESEARCH AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CONTINUED) PART 195--TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS BY PIPELINE--Table of Contents Subpart A--General Sec. 195.1 Applicability. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, this part applies to pipeline facilities and the transportation of hazardous liquids or carbon dioxide associated with those facilities in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, including pipeline facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf. (b) This part does not apply to-- (1) Transportation of a hazardous liquid that is transported in a gaseous state; (2) Transportation of a hazardous liquid through a pipeline by gravity; (3) Transportation through any of the following low-stress pipelines: (i) An onshore pipeline or pipeline segment that-- (A) Does not transport HVL; (B) Is located in a rural area; and (C) Is located outside a waterway currently used for commercial navigation; (ii) A pipeline subject to safety regulations of the U.S. Coast Guard; or (iii) A pipeline that serves refining, manufacturing, or truck, rail, or vessel terminal facilities, if the pipeline is less than 1 mile long (measured outside facility grounds) and does not cross an offshore area or a waterway currently used for commercial navigation; (4) Transportation of petroleum in onshore gathering lines in rural areas except gathering lines in the inlets of the Gulf of Mexico subject to Sec. 195.413; (5) Transportation of hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide in offshore pipelines in State waters which are located upstream from the outlet flange of each facility where hydrocarbons or carbon dioxide are produced or where produced hydrocarbons or carbon dioxide are first separated, dehydrated, or otherwise processed, whichever facility is farther downstream; [[Page 126]] (6) Transportation of hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide in Outer Continental Shelf pipelines which are located upstream of the point at which operating responsibility transfers from a producing operator to a transporting operator; (7) Transportation of a hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide through onshore production (including flow lines), refining, or manufacturing facilities, or storage or in-plant piping systems associated with such facilities; (8) Transportation of hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide-- (i) By vessel, aircraft, tank truck, tank car, or other non-pipeline mode of transportation; or (ii) Through facilities located on the grounds of a materials transportation terminal that are used exclusively to transfer hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide between non-pipeline modes of transportation or between a non-pipeline mode and a pipeline, not including any device and associated piping that are necessary to control pressure in the pipeline under Sec. 195.406(b); and (9) Transportation of carbon dioxide downstream from the following point, as applicable: (i) The inlet of a compressor used in the injection of carbon dioxide for oil recovery operations, or the point where recycled carbon dioxide enters the injection system, whichever is farther upstream; or (ii) The connection of the first branch pipeline in the production field that transports carbon dioxide to injection wells or to headers or manifolds from which pipelines branch to injection wells. (c) Breakout tanks subject to this part must comply with requirements that apply specifically to breakout tanks and, to the extent applicable, with requirements that apply to pipeline systems and pipeline facilities. If a conflict exists between a requirement that applies specifically to breakout tanks and a requirement that applies to pipeline systems or pipeline facilities, the requirement that applies specifically to breakout tanks prevails. Anhydrous ammonia breakout tanks need not comply with Sec.Sec. 195.132(b), 195.205(b), 195.242 (c) and (d), 195.264 (b) and (e), 195.307, 195.428 (c) and (d), and 195.432 (b) and (c).

The following amendment could not be incorporated into Sec. 63.12 because of inaccurate amendatory instruction. For the convenience of the user the amendatory instruction and text is set forth as follows: At 68 FR 46112, Aug. 5, 2003, Sec. 195.1 was amended by revising paragraphs (b)(5) and (6) and by adding a new paragraph (b)(7).

Safety equipment protecting RSPA-regulated pipeline segments is not excluded. Producing operators for those pipeline segments upstream of the last valve of the last production facility on the OCS may petition the Administrator, or designee, for approval to operate under RSPA regulations governing pipeline design, construction, operation, and maintenance under 49 CFR 190.9. * * * * *
