Protocol Item D.05

1. Verify the adequacy of the operators remaining life calculations. [NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.2]
2. Verify that the maximum re-assessment intervals for each region are one half the calculated remaining life. [NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.1.3 and NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.3]

1. Verify that reassessment intervals do not exceed the maximum intervals (refer to Protocol F) established in §192.939, as follows:
1. 10 years for pipeline segments operating at SMYS levels greater than 50%
2. 15 years for those segments operating between 30 and 50% SMYS
3. 20 years for those segments operating below 30% SMYS
2. Verify that the operator specifies and applies criteria for evaluating whether conditions discovered by direct examination of indications in each ECDA region indicate a need for reassessment of the covered segment at an interval less than that specified in §192.939. [§192.925(b)(4)(ii)]

1. Verify that at least one additional, randomly selected anomaly location has been excavated for process validation. [NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.4.2]
2. Verify that additional criteria have been established and monitored to evaluate long-term program effectiveness such as those identified in NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.4.3. [§192.945(b) and NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.4.3]

Verify the operator's process has incorporated feedback at all appropriate opportunities throughout the ECDA process to demonstrate feedback and continuous improvement. [§192.907(a) and NACE RP0502-2002, Section 6.5]
