FAQ-225: Remediation in Non-covered segments

Question: Must I fix anomalies found in non-covered segments?

Answer: Yes. Operators may find problems in non-covered segments while performing assessment of covered segments (e.g., because non-covered segments are also inspected during an ILI assessment) and must take appropriate actions to meet the requirements in 192.485, 192.703(b), 192.711, 192.713, 192.715, 192.717, and 192.719 as applicable. The provisions and requirements in Section 192.933(d) apply only to covered segments. In non-covered segments, operators are responsible for determining the appropriate criteria and schedule for remediating anomalies, consistent with the significance of the identified problem.
