A Few Thoughts Before Beginning
This rule is new to the pipeline industry although
many of the concepts are not
Many have struggled though the rules
development
A consistent approach can help

Why an Industry Standard?
A systematic approach --
focuses on risk reduction as a goal
is more effective
is called for by the rule
Provides a framework
for operators in developing their programs
for inspectors in auditing integrity programs
Provides additional meat

What the standard IS --
An aid in developing the framework for yourintegrity management program
Guidance on the aspects of integrity management
you need to be thinking about
A means to make your program comparable to
other company programs
A set of standardized measures allowing you to
compare your performance with your peers, if you
choose to

Highlights -- Identifying HCAs
Its the first thing you have to do
You are partially dependent on OPS but there are
some caveats
Population -- Straightforward
Navigable waters -- Straightforward
USAs -- Not so simple
Timing may become an issue
Some guidance in the standard

Highlights -- Data
Identifying data sources (lots of examples)
Identifying data needs (different from what you
have maybe)
Establishing a common reference system -- THE
key to integration

Final Thoughts
The Standard
The standard is not typical
The standard significantly raises the
expectation bar, probably more then the ruleitself does
The Rule
Requires leak detection capability in the rules
for the first time
Is tough
