This part contains requirements for oil spill response plans to reduce the environmental impact of oil discharged from onshore oil pipelines. 194.

15、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 signifi-cant and substantial harm to the envi-ronment by discharging oil into or on any navigable waters of the United States or adjo

16、ining shorelines. 194.5 Definitions. Adverse weather means the weather conditions that the operator will con-sider when identifying response sys-tems and equipment to be deployed in accordance with a response plan. Fac-tors to consider include ice conditions, temperature ranges, weather-related visi

17、bility, significant wave height as specified in 33 CFR Part 154, Appendix C, Table 1, and currents within the areas in which those systems or equip-ment are intended to function. Barrel means 42 United States gallons (159 liters) at 60 Fahrenheit (15.6 Celsius). Breakout tank means a tank used to: (

18、1) Relieve surges in an oil pipeline system or (2) Receive and store oil transported by a pipeline for reinjection and con-tinued transportation by pipeline. Contract or other approved means is: (1) A written contract or other le-gally binding agreement between the operator and a response contractor

19、 or other spill response organization iden-tifying and ensuring the availability of the specified personnel and equipment within stipulated response times for a specified geographic area; (2) Certification that specified equip-ment is owned or operated by the pipe-line operator, and operator personn

20、el and equipment are available within stipulated response times for a speci-fied 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 speci-fied geo

21、graphic 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 (508 milli-meters) or more crosses a major river or other navigable

22、waters, which, be-cause 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. L

23、ine section means a continuous run of pipe that is contained between adja-cent pressure pump stations, between a pressure pump station and a terminal or breakout tank, between a pressure pump station and a block valve, or be-tween adjacent block valves. Major river means a river that, be-cause of it

24、s 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 En-cyclopedia of Americas Rivers, Richard A. Bartlett, Editor, McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1984. Maximum extent practicable means the limits of available te

25、chnology and the practical and technical limits on a pipeline operator in planning the re-sponse resources required to provide the on-water recovery capability and the shoreline protection and cleanup capability to conduct response activi-ties for a worst case discharge from a pipeline in adverse we

26、ather. Navigable waters means the waters of the United States, including the terri-torial sea and such waters as lakes, riv-ers, streams; waters which are used for recreation; and waters from which fish or shellfish are taken and sold in inter-state or foreign commerce. Oil means oil of any kind or

Oil spill removal organization means an entity that provides response re-sources. On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) means the federal official designated by the Ad-mini

29、strator of the EPA or by the Com-mandant of the USCG to coordinate and direct federal response under sub-part D of the National Contingency Plan (40 CFR part 300). Onshore oil pipeline facilities means new and existing pipe, rights-of-way and any equipment, facility, or build-ing used in the transpo

30、rtation of oil lo-cated in, on, or under, any land within the United States other than sub-merged 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 p

31、ipe, valves, and other appur-tenances connected to line pipe, pump-ing units, fabricated assemblies associ-ated with pumping units, metering and delivery stations and fabricated assem-blies therein, and breakout tanks. Qualified individual means an English-speaking representative of an operator, loc

32、ated in the United States, available on a 24-hour basis, with full authority to: activate and contract with required oil spill removal organi-zation(s); activate personnel and equip-ment maintained by the operator; act as liaison with the OSC; and obligate any funds required to carry out all re-quir

33、ed or directed oil response activi-ties. Response activities means the contain-ment 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 plan mean

34、s the operators core plan and the response zone appen-dices for responding, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worse case dis-charge of oil, or the substantial threat of such a discharge. Response resources means the per-sonnel, equipment, supplies, and other resources necessary to conduct re-s

35、ponse activities. Response zone means a geographic area either along a length of pipeline or including multiple pipelines, con-taining one or more adjacent line sec-tions, for which the operator must plan for the deployment of, and provide, spill response capabilities. The size of the zone is determ

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, unless OPS grants a request from an Federal On-Scene Co-ordinator (FOSC) to require an oper-ator of a pipe

43、line in paragraph (b) to submit a response plan, each operator of an onshore pipeline facility shall prepare and submit a response plan to PHMSA as provided in 194.119. A pipe-line which does not meet the criteria for significant and substantial harm as defined in 194.103(c) and is not eligible for

44、an exception under 194.101(b), can be expected to cause substantial harm. Operators of substantial harm pipeline facilities must prepare and submit plans to PHMSA for review. (b) Exception. An operator need not submit a response plan for: (1) A pipeline that is 658 inches (168 millimeters) or less i

45、n outside nominal diameter, is 10 miles (16 kilometers) 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 (159 cubic meters) within the previous five years, (ii) The pipeline has not experienced at

46、least two reportable releases, as de-fined in 195.50, within the previous five years, (iii) A pipeline containing any elec-tric resistance welded pipe, manufac-tured prior to 1970, does not operate at a maximum operating pressure estab-lished under 195.406 that corresponds to a stress level greater

47、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 sen-sitive areas. (2)(i) A line section that is greater than 658 inches in outside nominal di-ameter and is greater th
