In the Matter of 
Chevron Pipe Line Company, CPF NO. 4-2006-5038 
Respondent 
FINAL ORDER 
On February 13-17, 27-28, and March 1-3, 2006, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5 60117, 
representatives of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the 
Railroad Commission of Texas, and the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission 
conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of Respondent's Integrity Management Program 
(IMP) in Houston, Texas. As a result of the inspection, the Director, Southwest Region, 
PHMSA, issued to Respondent, by letter dated September 25, 2006, a Notice of Probable 
Violation and Proposed Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 5 190.207, 
the Notice proposed finding that Respondent committed violations of 49 C.F.R. 5 195.452 and 
proposed to order certain measures to correct the alleged violations. 
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated October 20, 2006. Respondent did not 
contest the allegations of violation and agreed to complete the items in the Proposed Compliance 
Order. By letters dated November 17 and December 15, 2006, Respondent submitted 
documentation of compliance. Respondent did not request a hearing, and therefore Respondent 
waived its right to one. 
FINDINGS OF VIOLATION 
d 
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, as more fully described in 
the Notice: 
49 C.F.R. 9 195.452(f)(5), (g), and 0)(2) - failing to have a process for continual 
evaluation and assessment of pipeline integrity that is based on the factors specified in 
8 195.4520)(2), including consideration of the results of the baseline and periodic 
integrity assessments, information analysis, decisions about remediation, and 
preventative and mitigative actions. 

Y % 
49 C.F.R. 8 195.452(f)(5) and (j)(3) - failing to have a process for determining 
reassessment intervals based on the factors specified in 8 195.4526)(3). 
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. 
5 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquid 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 
indicated that Respondent has taken the following actions in response to the Proposed 
Compliance Order: 
Respondent amended its IMP to include trigger events, data sources, and evaluation 
frequency for risk analysis evaluations. Information and factors specified in 
tj 195.452(j)(2) will be gathered and integrated in the evaluation. In addition to an annual 
review of pipeline threat risk, the root cause of events that occur on specific pipeline 
segments will be evaluated to obtain an assessment of the threat risk. The integrity 
reassessment method(s) and intervals will be reexamined against the updated risk 
analysis evaluation for appropriateness. 
Respondent amended its IMPPipeline Integrity Technologists (PIT) process flow charts 
to include an evaluation of the pipeline segment by gathering and integrating specified 
factors (Form Fl -1 ) to determine reassessment intervals. 
Respondent documented the costs associated with completing these corrective actions. 
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 the violations. 
Accordingly, since compliance has been achieved, it is not necessary to include the compliance 
terms in this order. The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective upon receipt.
