FINAL ORDER 
On April 17 through 21, 2006, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 4 601 17, representatives of the Pipeline and 
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) conducted an onsite 
pipeline safety inspection of Respondent's Integrity Management Program (IMP) and related 
records in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a result of the inspection, the Director, Southwest Region, 
issued to Respondent, by letter dated May 3 1,2006, a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed 
Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 8 190.207, the Notice proposed 
finding that Respondent had violated 49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(0(6) and proposed ordering 
Respondent to take certain measures to correct the alleged violations. 
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated June 21, 2006. Respondent did not contest 
the allegations of violation and committed to complying with the proposed compliance order. 
By letter dated July 3 1,2006, Respondent submitted documentation to evidence compliance with 
the proposed compliance order. Respondent did not request a hearing, and therefore has waived 
its right to one. 
FINDINGS OF VIOLATION 
In its Response, Respondent did not contest the violations alleged in the Notice. Accordingly, I 
find that Respondent violated the following provisions of 49 C.F.R. Part 195, concerning 
preventative and mitigative measures, as more fully described in the Notice: 
49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(0(6) and (i)(3) - failing to evaluate the leak detection capabilities 
for each pipeline segment covered by Respondent's IMP and modify the capabilities, as 
necessary, to protect a high consequence area (HCA); and 
49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(0(6) and (i)(4) - failing to determine the need for emergency flow 
restricting devices for each pipeline segment covered by Respondent's IMP to protect an 
HCA in the event of a pipeline release. 

These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement 
action taken against Respondent. 
COMPLIANCE ORDER 
The Notice proposed a compliance order with respect to the violations. Under 49 U.S.C. 
9 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids by pipeline or 
who owns or operates a hazardous liquid pipeline facility is required to comply with the 
applicable safety standards established under Chapter 601. The Director, Southwest Region, has 
reviewed the corrective action taken by Respondent and has indicated that the corrective action 
has achieved compliance with respect to these violations. Accordingly, since compliance has 
been achieved, it is not necessary to include the compliance terms in this order. The terms and 
cond' ions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.
