Customer Notification (5)Criticality: Medium Description of Key AreaCustomer notification is addressed under Subpart A (General) of 49 CFR 192. Per the Code, if the gas operator does not maintain the customer’s buried piping up to a certain point of entry, the operator must notify the customer in writing to let them know and also to advise them of the need of periodic inspections for leaks and corrosion. Discussion of CriticalityFor hydrogen, the term “customer’s buried piping” should be defined. Is there special notification that must be conveyed to the customer above the information which is currently listed in the federal code? A determination is needed as to where notices might need to be posted, such as fill stations, etc. Discussion of ProgressNo information found. RecommendationsHydrogen standards for customer notification should be established and incorporated by reference into the federal code. Find this web page at:
