Such conditions of installation, if any, will be specified by the Department.

(c) The following precautionary measures are required for pipeline installations:

1. Pipeline installation permits and utility agreements will identify the transmittant, the maximum working, test, or design pressures, and the design standards for the carrier.

When it is anticipated that there will be a change in the transmittant or an increase in the maximum design pressure specified in the permit, the utility shall obtain Department approval through the Operations Permit Office. The request shall specify the applicable codes to be used for the transmittant.
