Pipeline right-of-way “as-built” location plats shall be certified by a registered engineer or land surveyor and show the boundaries of the right-of-way as granted. If there is a substantial deviation of the pipeline route as granted in the right-of-way, the report shall include a discussion of the reasons for such deviation. (c) The lessee or right-of-way holder shall report to the Regional Supervisor any pipeline taken out of service.

A detailed report of the repair of a pipeline or pipeline component shall be submitted to the Regional Supervisor within 30 days after completion of the repairs. The report shall include the following: (1) Description of repairs, (2) Results of pressure test, and (3) Date returned to service. (f) The Regional Supervisor may require that DOI pipeline failures be analyzed and that samples of a failed section be examined in a laboratory to assist in determining the cause of the failure. A comprehensive written report of the information obtained shall be submitted by the lessee to the Regional Supervisor as soon as available.

A report of the remedial action taken shall be submitted to the Regional Supervisor by the lessee or right-of-way holder within 30 days after completion.
