Rule Section: §192.917(b)

Data gathering and integration.

Rule Hierarchy:

• 192.917  How does an operator identify potential threats to pipeline integrity and use the threat identification in its integrity program?
  • 192.917(b) Data gathering and integration.

Rule Language:

To identify and evaluate the potential threats to a covered pipeline segment, an operator must gather and integrate existing data and information on the entire pipeline that could be relevant to the covered segment. In performing this data gathering and integration, an operator must follow the requirements in ASME/ANSI B31.8S, section 4. At a minimum, an operator must gather and evaluate the set of data specified in Appendix A to ASME/ANSI B31.8S, and consider both on the covered segment and similar non-covered segments, past incident history, corrosion control records, continuing surveillance records, patrolling records, maintenance history, internal inspection records and all other conditions specific to each pipeline.
