An operator must notify PHMSA in accordance with § 192.18 if it cannot meet the schedule for evaluation and remediation required under paragraph (c) or (d) of this section and cannot provide safety through a temporary reduction in operating pressure or other action. (ii) An operator must determine the predicted failure pressure in accordance with § 192.712. (C) A level not exceeding the predicted failure pressure divided by 1.1. (B) A level not exceeding the predicted failure pressure times the design factor for the class location in which the affected pipeline is located or (A) A level not exceeding 80 percent of the operating pressure at the time the condition was discovered An operator must reduce the operating pressure to one of the following: (i) If an operator is unable to respond within the time limits for certain conditions specified in this section, the operator must temporarily reduce the operating pressure of the pipeline or take other action that ensures the safety of the covered segment. Until documented material properties are available, the operator must use the conservative assumptions in either § 192.712(e)(2) or, if appropriate following a pressure test, in § 192.712(d)(3). If documented data required for any analysis is not available, an operator must obtain the undocumented data through § 192.607. Repairs performed in accordance with this section must use pipe and material properties that are documented in traceable, verifiable, and complete records. An operator must be able to demonstrate that the remediation of the condition will ensure the condition is unlikely to pose a threat to the integrity of the pipeline until the next reassessment of the covered segment. In addressing all conditions, an operator must evaluate all anomalous conditions and remediate those that could reduce a pipeline's integrity. An operator must take prompt action to address all anomalous conditions the operator discovers through the integrity assessment.
