Abstract: It is indeed a pleasure to be here today to take A Look at DOT Inspection Requirements with you. When first contacted about making this presentation, I thought, what will I talk about, DOT is not involved in measurement. Well, this is true, insofar as the gas or commodity accounting aspects of measurement is concerned. DOT has no jurisdiction over thru-put volumes and gas accounting and generally is not interested in this aspect of operations, except where leaks are involved. Other agencies, such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, are concerned with these matters. I realized, however, that I did have more than enough to discuss with you. DOT does have jurisdiction over pipeline safety. Therefore, while DOT may not have a jurisdictional interest in the volumes of gas or commodity being measured, they have a very definite Interest in the facilities and procedures being used. DOT is interested in all safety aspects of gas measurement facilities, including the design, materials, installation, testing, overpressure protection, operation and maintenance of the facilities. DOT is also interested in the procedures established for use by personnel in the handling of the gas or commodity and in operating and maintaining the facilities, including time intervals of inspections, tests, etc., including odorization, where required. Therefore, my message to you today, is that measurement personnel have a very definite involvement with DOT and should certainly have an interest in taking A Look at DOT Inspection Requirements.
