SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

PHMSA received a special permit 

request from NGPL seeking a waiver 

from the requirements of 49 CFR 

192.611(a) and (d): Change in class 

location: Confirmation or revision of 

maximum allowable operating pressure, 

and § 192.619(a): Maximum allowable 

operating pressure: Steel or plastic 

pipelines. This special permit is being 

requested in lieu of pipe replacement or 

pressure reduction for one (1) special 

permit segment of 1,390 feet (0.263 

miles) on the NGPL Gulf Coast Line 3 

pipeline system. The proposed special 

permit segment is located in Angelina 

County, Texas. The NGPL pipeline class 

location in the special permit segment 

has changed from a Class 1 to a Class 

3 location. The NGPL pipeline special 

permit segment is a 36-inch diameter 

pipeline with an existing maximum 

allowable operating pressure of 858 

pounds per square inch gauge. The 

installation of the special permit 

segment occurred in 1966. 

The special permit request, proposed 

special permit with conditions, and 

Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) 

for the NGPL pipeline are available for 

review and public comment in Docket 

No. PHMSA–2020–0004. We invite 

interested persons to review and submit 

comments on the special permit request 

and DEA in the docket. Please include 

any comments on potential safety and 

environmental impacts that may result 

if the special permit is granted. 

Comments may include relevant data. 

Before issuing a decision on the 

special permit request, PHMSA will 

evaluate all comments received on or 

before the comment closing date. 

Comments received after the closing 

date will be evaluated, if it is possible 

to do so without incurring additional 

expense or delay. PHMSA will consider 

each relevant comment it receives in 

making its decision to grant or deny this 

special permit request. 

Issued in Washington, DC under authority 

delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
