49 CFR 192.10 : Transportation (§ 1.1 To Parts 1581-1699) — (§ 178.1 To § 199.245) — Other Regulations Relating To Transportation (Continued) (§ 178.1 To § 199.245) — Pipeline And Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Department Of Transportation (Continued) (§ 178.1 To § 199.245) — Pipeline Safety (Parts 186-189 To § 199.245) — Transportation Of Natural And Other Gas By Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards (§ 192.1 To Appendix E To Part 192) — General (§ 192.1 To § 192.16) — Outer continental shelf pipelines.

Operators of transportation pipelines on the Outer Continental Shelf (as defined in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act; 43 U.S.C. 1331) must identify on all their respective pipelines the specific points at which operating responsibility transfers to a producing operator. For those instances in which the transfer points are not identifiable by a durable marking, each operator will have until September 15, 1998 to identify the transfer points. If it is not practicable to durably mark a transfer point and the transfer point is located above water, the operator must depict the transfer point on a schematic located near the transfer point. If a transfer point is located subsea, then the operator must identify the transfer point on a schematic which must be maintained at the nearest upstream facility and provided to PHMSA upon request. For those cases in which adjoining operators have not agreed on a transfer point by September 15, 1998 the Regional Director and the MMS Regional Supervisor will make a joint determination of the transfer point.
