Workshop Follow-Up
There were two issues we needed to address arising from our compliance/enforcement seminar:
Alternate Enforcement Procedure
Please see the Alternate Enforcement Procedure page for more details about this issue.
Notification Prior to Inspections of Unmanned Facilities
The second issue had to do with pre-notification prior to our inspection of unmanned facilities. We believe that this will only involve unmanned compressor stations and like facilities. After much discussion we have decided that we will notify the responsible party of unmanned facilities that we know about at least 48-72 hours in advance of an inspection. This notification will include the field office at which we will meet the person representing the facility thus allowing that person a reasonable amount of time to adjust their schedule. After meeting at the field office, they will proceed to the site targeted for inspection. We believe this will accommodate the need of the industry to manage their time effectively and our need to continue the policy of unannounced inspections.
We believe that this answers the questions we had outstanding from the meeting. If you believe we have missed one, please notify Richard Groshong at (405) 702-4100.
