Source: 58 FR 253, Jan. 5, 1993, unless otherwise noted. Subpart A--General Sec. 194.1 Purpose. This part contains requirements for oil spill response plans to reduce the environmental impact of oil discharged from onshore oil pipelines. Sec. 194.3 Applicability. This part applies to an operator of an onshore oil pipeline that, because of its location, could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm, or significant and substantial harm to the environment by discharging oil into or on any navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. Sec. 194.5 Definitions. Adverse weather means the weather conditions considered by the operator in identifying the response systems and equipment to be deployed in accordance with a response plan, including wave height, ice, temperature, visibility, and currents within the inland or Coastal Response Zone (defined in the National Contingency Plan (40 CFR part 300)) in which those systems or equipment are intended to function. Barrel means 42 United States gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Breakout tank means a tank used to: (1) relieve surges in an oil pipeline system or (2) receive and store oil transported by a pipeline for reinjection and continued transportation by pipeline. Coastal zone means all United States waters subject to the tide, United States waters of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, specified ports and harbors on inland rivers, waters of the contiguous zone, other waters of the [[Page 129]] high seas subject to the National Contingency Plan, and the land surface or land substrate, ground waters, and ambient air proximal to those waters. (The term ``coastal zone'' delineates an area of federal responsibility for response action. Precise boundaries are determined by agreements between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and are identified in Federal Regional Contingency Plans and Area Contingency Plans.) Contract or other approved means is: (1) A written contract or other legally binding agreement between the operator and a response contractor or other spill response organization identifying and ensuring the availability of the specified personnel and equipment within stipulated response times for a specified geographic area; (2) Certification that specified equipment is owned or operated by the pipeline operator, and operator personnel and equipment are available within stipulated response times for a specified geographic area; or (3) Active membership in a local or regional oil spill removal organization that has identified specified personnel and equipment to be available within stipulated response times for a specified geographic area. Environmentally sensitive area means an area of environmental importance which is in or adjacent to navigable waters. High volume area means an area which an oil pipeline having a nominal outside diameter of 20 inches or more crosses a major river or other navigable waters, which, because of the velocity of the river flow and vessel traffic on the river, would require a more rapid response in case of a worst case discharge or substantial threat of such a discharge. Appendix B to this part contains a list of some of the high volume areas in the United States. Inland area means the area shoreward of the boundary lines defined in 46 CFR part 7, except that in the Gulf of Mexico, it means the area shoreward of the lines of demarcation (COLREG lines) defined in 33 CFR 80.740-80.850. The inland area does not include the Great Lakes. Inland zone means the environment inland of the coastal zone excluding the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, and specified ports and harbors on inland rivers. (The term inland zone delineates an area of federal responsibilities for response actions. Precise boundaries are determined by agreements between the EPA and the USCG and are identified in Federal Regional Contingency Plans.) Line section means a continuous run of pipe that is contained between adjacent pressure pump stations, between a pressure pump station and a terminal or breakout tank, between a pressure pump station and a block valve, or between adjacent block valves. Major river means a river that, because of its velocity and vessel traffic, would require a more rapid response in case of a worst case discharge. For a list of rivers see ``Rolling Rivers, An Encyclopedia of America's Rivers,'' Richard A. Bartlett, Editor, McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1984. Maximum extent practicable means the limits of available technology and the practical and technical limits on a pipeline operator in planning the response resources required to provide the on-water recovery capability and the shoreline protection and cleanup capability to conduct response activities for a worst case discharge from a pipeline in adverse weather. Navigable waters means the waters of the United States, including the territorial sea and such waters as lakes, rivers, streams; waters which are used for recreation; and waters from which fish or shellfish are taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce. Oil means oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not limited to, petroleum, fuel oil, vegetable oil, animal oil, sludge, oil refuse, oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil. Oil spill removal organization means an entity that provides response resources. On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) means the federal official designated by the Administrator of the EPA or by the Commandant of the USCG to coordinate and direct federal response under subpart D of the National Contingency Plan (40 CFR part 300). [[Page 130]] Onshore oil pipeline facilities means new and existing pipe, rights- of-way and any equipment, facility, or building used in the transportation of oil located in, on, or under, any land within the United States other than submerged land. Operator means a person who owns or operates onshore oil pipeline facilities. Pipeline means all parts of an onshore pipeline facility through which oil moves including, but not limited to, line pipe, valves, and other appurtenances connected to line pipe, pumping units, fabricated assemblies associated with pumping units, metering and delivery stations and fabricated assemblies therein, and breakout tanks. Qualified individual means an English-speaking representative of an operator, located in the United States, available on a 24-hour basis, with full authority to: activate and contract with required oil spill removal organization(s); activate personnel and equipment maintained by the operator; act as liaison with the OSC; and obligate any funds required to carry out all required or directed oil response activities. Response activities means the containment and removal of oil from the water and shorelines, the temporary storage and disposal of recovered oil, or the taking of other actions as necessary to minimize or mitigate damage to the environment. Response area means the inland zone or coastal zone, as defined in the National Contingency Plan (40 CFR part 300), in which the response activity is occurring. Response plan means the operator's core plan and the response zone appendices for responding, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worse case discharge of oil, or the substantial threat of such a discharge. Response resources means the personnel, equipment, supplies, and other resources necessary to conduct response activities. Response zone means a geographic area either along a length of pipeline or including multiple pipelines, containing one or more adjacent line sections, for which the operator must plan for the deployment of, and provide, spill response capabilities. The size of the zone is determined by the operator after considering available capability, resources, and geographic characteristics. Specified minimum yield strength means the minimum yield strength, expressed in pounds per square inch, prescribed by the specification under which the material is purchased from the manufacturer. Stress level means the level of tangential or hoop stress, usually expressed as a percentage of specified minimum yield strength. Worst case discharge means the largest foreseeable discharge of oil, including a discharge from fire or explosion, in adverse weather conditions. This volume will be determined by each pipeline operator for each response zone and is calculated according to Sec. 194.105. Sec. 194.7 Operating restrictions and interim operating authorization. (a) After February 18, 1993, an operator of a pipeline for which a response plan is required under Sec. 194.101, may not handle, store, or transport oil in that pipeline unless the operator has submitted a response plan meeting the requirements of this part. (b) After August 18, 1993, an operator must operate its onshore pipeline facilities in accordance with the applicable response plan. (c) After August 18, 1993, the operator of a pipeline line section described in Sec. 194.103(c), may continue to operate the pipeline for two years after the date of submission of a response plan, pending approval or disapproval of that plan, only if the operator has submitted the certification required by Sec. 194.119(e). Subpart B--Response Plans Sec. 194.101 Operators required to submit plans. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, or unless RSPA grants a request from the OSC to require an operator of the following pipelines to submit a response plan or the pipeline is covered by Sec. 194.103, each operator of an onshore pipeline facility [[Page 131]] shall prepare a response plan and submit the response plan to RSPA, as provided in Sec. 194.119. (b) Exception. An operator need not submit a response plan for: (1) A pipeline that is 6\5/8\ inches or less in outside nominal diameter, is 10 miles or less in length, and all of the following conditions apply to the pipeline: (i) The pipeline has not experienced a release greater than 1,000 barrels within the previous five years, (ii) The pipeline has not experienced at least two reportable releases, as defined in Sec. 195.50, within the previous five years, (iii) A pipeline containing any electric resistance welded pipe, manufactured prior to 1970, does not operate at a maximum operating pressure established under Sec. 195.406 that corresponds to a stress level greater than 50 percent of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe, and (iv) The pipeline is not in proximity to navigable waters, public drinking water intakes, or environmentally sensitive areas. (2)(i) A line section that is greater than 6\5/8\ inches in outside nominal diameter and is greater than 10 miles in length, where the operator determines that it is unlikely that the worst case discharge from any point on the line section would adversely affect, within 12 hours after the initiation of the discharge, any navigable waters, public drinking water intake, or environmentally sensitive areas. (ii) A line section that is 6\5/8\ inches or less in outside nominal diameter and is 10 miles or less in length, where the operator determines that it is unlikely that the worst case discharge from any point on the line section would adversely affect, within 4 hours after the initiation of the discharge, any navigable waters, public drinking water intake, or environmentally sensitive areas. Sec. 194.103 Significant and substantial harm; operator's statement. (a) Each operator shall submit a statement with its response plan, as required by Secs. 194.107 and 194.113, identifying which line sections in a response zone can be expected to cause significant and substantial harm to the environment in the event of a discharge of oil into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. (b) If an operator expects a line section in a response zone to cause significant and substantial harm, then the entire response zone must, for the purpose of response plan review and approval, be treated as if it is expected to cause significant and substantial harm. However, an operator will not have to submit separate plans for each line section. (c) A line section can be expected to cause significant and substantial harm to the environment in the event of a discharge of oil into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines if; the pipeline is greater than 6\5/8\ inches in outside nominal diameter, greater than 10 miles in length, and the line section-- (1) Has experienced a release greater than 1,000 barrels within the previous five years, (2) Has experienced two or more reportable releases, as defined in Sec. 195.50, within the previous five years, (3) Containing any electric resistance welded pipe, manufactured prior to 1970, operates at a maximum operating pressure established under Sec. 195.406 that corresponds to a stress level greater than 50 percent of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe, (4) Is located within a five-mile radius of potentially affected public drinking water intakes and could reasonably be expected to reach public drinking water intakes, or (5) Is located within a one-mile radius of potentially affected environmentally sensitive areas, and could reasonably be expected to reach these areas. Sec. 194.105 Worst case discharge. (a) Each operator shall determine the worst case discharge for each of its response zones and provide the methodology, including calculations, used to arrive at the volume. (b) The worst case discharge is the largest volume, in barrels, of the following: (1) The pipeline's maximum release time in hours, plus the maximum shutdown response time in hours (based on [[Page 132]] historic discharge data or in the absence of such historic data, the operator's best estimate), multiplied by the maximum flow rate expressed in barrels per hour (based on the maximum daily capacity of the pipeline), plus the largest line drainage volume after shutdown of the line section(s) in the response zone expressed in barrels; or (2) The largest foreseeable discharge for the line section(s) within a response zone, expressed in barrels, based on the maximum historic discharge, if one exists, adjusted for any subsequent corrective or preventive action taken; or (3) If the response zone contains one or more breakout tanks, the capacity of the single largest tank or battery of tanks within a single secondary containment system, adjusted for the capacity or size of the secondary containment system, expressed in barrels. Sec. 194.107 General response plan requirements. (a) Each response plan must plan for resources for responding, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worst case discharge, and to a substantial threat of such a discharge. (b) Each response plan must be written in English and also, if applicable, in a language that is understood by the personnel responsible for carrying out the plan. (c) Each response plan must be consistent with the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 CFR part 300) and each applicable Area Contingency Plan (ACP).
