49 CFR Part 192 recordkeeping

Pressure test records that hold up in 2031, not just at handover.

MilePost Records keeps gas transmission and gathering test records to the seven fields §192.517(a) requires — validated on entry, bound to the source document, in an audit log that cannot be edited after the fact.

Why this exists

Roughly 168,000 of the nation's 301,000 miles of onshore gas transmission pipeline were installed before hydrostatic pressure testing was required. Where the records establishing MAOP are not traceable, verifiable and complete, §192.624 requires reconfirmation — and puts 50% of mileage on the clock for 3 July 2028, 100% by 2 July 2035.

49 CFR 192.517(a) — “An operator must make, and retain for the useful life of the pipeline, a record of each test…”

49 CFR 192.624(d) — “An operator must retain records of investigations, tests, analyses, assessments, repairs, replacements, alterations, and other actions taken… for the life of the pipeline.”

Reconfirmation is a project. The record is permanent. Most of the effort in this industry goes into the first part, and the second part ends up on a shared drive.

What it does

What it is not

It does not decide whether a 1985 chart meets the standard. That is a judgement call with real consequence attached, and it belongs to an engineer or a consultant who carries liability for it. We hold the record and prove it wasn't altered. We don't grade it.
