DOT Pipeline Compliance Workshop – Gas, Liquids, DIMP & Control Room Management
March 2-4, 2010 / Houston, TX
Join us March 2-4, 2010 in
Houston at the Crowne Plaza Downtown for an informative, lively, and interactive workshop on DOT Pipeline Compliance and OPA Planning for DOT
Pipelines. This workshop has been attended by hundreds of pipeline personnel, with excellent feedback. The workshop provides an overview of the DOT pipeline regulations, and
is appropriate for people who are new to pipeline regulations, who could use a refresher, or anyone who needs to know the latest information in these areas.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE:
Day 1 (March 2): Liquid Pipeline Regulations (49CFR195)
Each attendee will receive general training materials which include the applicable DOT 49 CFR 195 regulations for hazardous liquid pipelines (cd-rom), inspection checklists,
and speaker’s PowerPoint presentation handouts. The workshop will include an introduction to DOT/OPS pipeline compliance; State and Federal program variations, roles and
responsibilities; design, construction, operations, maintenance, and emergency response requirements; spill response planning requirements; how to monitor rulemaking activity
and stay current with your compliance program; operator qualification and public awareness.
Day 2 (March 3): Gas Pipeline Regulations (49CFR192)
Each attendee will receive general training materials which include the applicable DOT 49 CFR 192 regulations for gas pipelines (cd-rom), inspection checklists, and speaker’s
PowerPoint presentation handouts. The workshop will include an introduction to DOT/OPS pipeline compliance; State and Federal program variations, roles and responsibilities;
design, construction, operations, maintenance, and emergency response requirements; how to monitor rulemaking activity and stay current with your compliance program; operator
qualification, public awareness; and a specific emphasis on the gas integrity management regulations.
Day 3 (March 4): DIMP and Control Room Management
Morning Session: Control Room Management
On December 3, 2009, PHMSA published their final rule on control room management for gas and liquid pipeline operators to amend their existing written O&M procedures, operator
qualification (OQ) programs, and emergency plans to assure controllers and control room management practices and procedures used maintain pipeline safety and integrity. The
Final Rule adds provisions to 49 CFR parts 192, 193, and 195. This workshop session will discuss the regulations that address fatigue management and other components of control
room management, i.e. alarm management, controller qualifications, controller human factors, and management of change.
Afternoon Session: DIMP
On December 4, 2009, PHMSA published the final rule for Distribution Integrity Management Programs (DIMP) which is applicable to gas distribution operators and becomes effective
on February 2, 2010. The DIMP regulations are listed in Part 192 as a new Subpart P – Gas Distribution Pipeline Integrity Management. The compliance deadline for developing a
written distribution IM plan and implementing the plan is August 2, 2011 (18 months from the effective date). This workshop session will discuss the written distribution IM
plan and the required seven elements for existing gas distribution pipeline systems, five new key definitions, annual reporting, in addition to the other key requirements of
this Final Rule.
