This was a follow-up to the “Lessons Learned in a D.O.T. Audit” breakout session conducted July 19, 2006 at the SGA Operating Conference in Houston, TX.

 

Most operators have now been audited by PHMSA regarding their Transmission Integrity Program. Many have now received the written audit findings. Some operators have requested a hearing to discuss those findings.
