Operators whose integrity management programs meet criteria for exceptional performance in 192.913 can implement performance-based programs in which they can establish longer reassessment intervals. One of those criteria is a comprehensive process for risk analysis. OPS expects a thorough risk analysis and integration of other information regarding pipeline integrity to be key elements in establishing longer reassessment intervals under performance-based programs.
