FINAL ORDER 
On October 4-22, 2004, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60117, a representative of the Pipeline and 
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) conducted an on-
site pipeline safety inspection of Respondent’s facilities and records in the Petersburg, Oaktown, 
Wilfred, Bedford, and Dillsboro districts in Indiana. The operation and maintenance manual was 
also reviewed in Owensboro, Kentucky. As a result of the inspection, the Director, Central 
Region, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated January 6, 2005, a Notice of Probable 
Violation and Proposed Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, 
the Notice proposed finding that Respondent had committed violations of 49 C.F.R. Part 192 and 
proposed ordering Respondent to take certain measures to correct one of the alleged violations. 
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated June 2, 2006 (Response). Respondent did 
not contest the allegations of violation but provided information concerning the corrective 
actions it has initiated in response to the Notice. Respondent provided documentation of the 
corrective actions it has taken by letter dated July 1, 2005. Respondent did not request a hearing, 
and therefore has waived its right to one. 
FINDING OF VIOLATION 
In its response, Respondent did not contest the alleged violations in the Notice. Accordingly, I 
find that Respondent violated the following section of 49 C.F.R. Part 192, as more fully 
described in the Notice: 
49 C.F.R. § 192.619(a) (Notice Item 5) – During normal operations, Respondent failed to 
operate a pipeline at or below the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP). 

COMPLIANCE ORDER 
The Notice proposed a Compliance Order with respect to Item 5 in the Notice for violating 49 
C.F.R. § 192.619(a) by failing to operate a pipeline at or below the MAOP. Under 49 U.S.C. § 
60118(a), each person who engages in the transportation of gas or who owns or operates a 
pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety standards established under 
chapter 601. The Director, Central Region, OPS has indicated that Respondent has taken the 
following actions specified in the proposed compliance order: 
Respondent lowered the operating pressure of the line to 245 psig to assure that the 
pressures do not exceed the MAOP during normal operations. Respondent scheduled an 
up-rating of the Versailles Meter Station for August 2005. Respondent also evaluated its 
entire Texas Gas system for operating conditions similar to that of the Versailles Meter 
Station to ensure operations do not exceed the MAOP. In accordance with the proposed 
compliance order, Respondent submitted to OPS documentation of its evaluation of the 
Texas Gas system. 
Accordingly, since compliance has been achieved with respect to this violation, it is unnecessary 
to include compliance terms in this Order. 
WARNING ITEMS 
The Notice did not propose a civil penalty or corrective action for Notice Items 1, 2, 3 and 4. 
Therefore, these are considered to be warning items. The warnings were for - 
49 C.F.R. § 192.477 (Item 1) – failing to check internal corrosion coupons twice a year in 
order to monitor internal corrosion. 
49 C.F.R § 192.491(c) (Item 2) – failing to maintain records of surveys and inspections to 
monitor atmospheric corrosion. 
49 C.F.R. § 192.603 (Item 3) – failing to properly maintain records documenting 
abnormal operation conditions (AOC) as is required by Respondent’s written procedures. 
49 C.F.R. § 192.605(a) (Item 4) – failing to follow written procedures for setting the set 
point for relief devices. 
Respondent presented information in its response showing that it has initiated actions addressing 
the cited items. Respondent is warned that if OPS finds a violation for any of these items in a 
subsequent inspection, enforcement action will be taken. 
The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt
