(a) This part prescribes safety stand-ards for LNG facilities used in the transportation of gas by pipeline that is subject to the pipeline safety laws (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.) and Part 192 of this chapter. (b) This part does not apply to: (1) LNG facilit

15、ies used by ultimate consumers of LNG or natural gas. (2) LNG facilities used in the course of natural gas treatment or hydro-carbon extraction which do not store LNG. (3) In the case of a marine cargo transfer system and associated facili-ties, any matter other than siting per-taining to the system

16、 or facilities be-tween the marine vessel and the last manifold (or in the absence of a mani-fold, the last valve) located imme-diately before a storage tank.

19、ly with the applica-ble requirements of this part gov-erning, siting, design, installation, and construction, except that: (1) The siting requirements apply only to LNG storage tanks that are sig-nificantly altered by increasing the original storage capacity or relocated, and (2) To the extent compl

20、iance with the design, installation, and construction requirements would make the replaced, relocated, or altered facility incompat-ible with the other facilities or would otherwise be impractical, the replaced, relocated, or significantly altered facil-ity may be designed, installed, or con-structe
