# §195.9. Outer continental shelf pipelines.


Operators of transportation pipelines on the Outer Continental Shelf must identify on all their respective pipelines the specific points at which operating responsibility transfers to a producing operator. For those instances in which the transfer points are not identifiable by a durable marking, each operator will have until September 15, 1998, to identify the transfer points. If it is not practicable to mark durably a transfer point and the transfer point is located above water, the operator must depict the transfer point on a schematic maintained near the transfer point. If a transfer point is located subsea, the operator must identify the transfer point on a schematic which must be maintained at the nearest upstream facility and provided to PHMSA upon request. For those cases in which adjoining operators have not agreed on a transfer point by September 15, 1998, the Regional Director and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement Regional Supervisor will make a joint determination of the transfer point.
