958.5
. (a) Twice a year, or as determined by the commission, each
gas corporation shall file with the division of the commission
responsible for consumer protection and safety a gas transmission and
storage safety report. The division of the commission responsible
for consumer protection and safety shall review the reports to
monitor each gas corporation's storage and pipeline-related
activities to assess whether the projects that have been identified
as high risk are being carried out, and to track whether the gas
corporation is spending its allocated funds on these storage and
pipeline-related safety, reliability, and integrity activities for
which they have received approval from the commission.
(b) The gas transmission and storage safety report shall include a
thorough description and explanation of the strategic planning and
decisionmaking approach used to determine and rank the gas storage
projects, intrastate transmission line safety, integrity, and
reliability, operation and maintenance activities, and inspections of
its intrastate transmission lines. If there has been no change in
the gas corporation's approach for determining and ranking which
projects and activities are prioritized since the previous gas
transmission and storage safety report, the subsequent report may
reference the immediately preceding report.
(c) If the division of the commission responsible for consumer
protection and safety determines that there is a deficiency in a gas
corporation's prioritization or administration of the storage or
pipeline capital projects or operation and maintenance activities,
the division shall bring the problems to the commission's immediate
attention.
