Between August 9,2005 and August 25,2005 and, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 3601 17, representatives 
of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Southern Region, 
Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), and the Kentucky Public Service Commission conducted a gas 
integrity management inspection of Respondent's integrity management program (IMP), in 
Owensboro, Kentucky. As a result of the inspection, the Director, Southern Region, OPS, issued 
to Respondent, by letter dated March 9, 2006, a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed 
Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 3 190.207, the Notice proposed 
finding that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. Part 192 and proposed that Respondent take certain 
measures to correct the alleged violation.. 
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated, April 10,2006 (Response). Respondent did 
not contest the allegation of violation but offered an explanation and provided information 
concerning the corrective actions it has taken to comply. Respondent did not request a hearing, 
and therefore has waived its right to one. 
FINDINGS OF VIOLATION 
(Uncontested) 
In its Response, Respondent did not contest the alleged violation in the Notice. Accordingly, I 
find that Respondent violated the following section of49 C.F.R. Part 192, as more fully described 
in the Notice: 
49 C.F.R. 3 192.917(c) -Failure to conduct a risk assessment that follows 
ASMEIANSI B3 1.8S, section 5, and considers the identified threats for each 
covered segment; failure to use the risk assessment to prioritize the covered 
segments for the baseline and continual reassessments (33 192.9 19, 192.92 1, 
192.937), and to determine what additional preventive and mitigative measures 
are needed (3 192.935) for the covered segment. Respondent's risk assessment, 

analysis and risk ranking algorithm utilized for the covered pipeline segments did 
not include consideration of failure consequences factors which is required by 49 
C.F.R. 
Ħħ 192.91 7(c). 
This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action 
taken against Respondent.
