Must non-pipe elements of a pipeline system in HCAs (e.g., compressor stations) be identified by 12/17/04?
Yes. While the assessment requirements of 49 CFR 192 Subpart O are applicable to line pipe, all other requirements, including covered segment identification, are applicable to the entire pipeline, which is defined in 49 CFR 192.3 as all parts of those physical facilities through which gas moves in transportation. OPS expects operators to understand which compressor stations and other facilities meet criteria to be treated as covered segments in HCAs.
