					 Conservation or any person to whom he has delegated authority in the matter
					 concerned.
Confirmed Discovery
-means when it can be
					 reasonably determined, based on information available to the operator at the

					 which is toxic or corrosive.
Incident
-any of the following
					 events:

				  release of gas from a pipeline, gas from an underground natural gas storage
				  facility (UNGSF), liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, refrigerant
				  gas, or gas from an LNG facility, and that results in one or more of the

i. a death, or
				  personal injury necessitating inpatient hospitalization;
ii. estimated property damage of $122,000 or
				  more, including loss to the operator and others, or both, but excluding the

A. Operators of transportation pipelines on
				  the Outer Continental Shelf (as defined in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands
				  Act 43 U.S.C. 1331)  must
				  identify on all their respective pipelines the specific points at which
				  operating responsibility transfers to a producing operator. For those instances
				  in which the transfer points are not identifiable by a durable marking, each
				  operator will have until September 15, 1998 to identify the transfer points. If
				  it is not practicable to durably mark a transfer point and the transfer point
				  is located above water, the operator must depict the transfer point on a
				  schematic located near the transfer point. If a transfer point is located
				  subsea, then the operator must identify the transfer point on a schematic which
				  must be maintained at the nearest upstream facility and provided to PHMSA upon
				  request. For those cases in which adjoining operators have not agreed on a
				  transfer point by September 15, 1998 the regional director and the MMS regional
				  supervisor will make a joint determination of the transfer point [
				49 CFR
				  192.10].
