{"Image DocumentName": "Farm TapsQuotes from preamble materials in Customer-Owned Service Lines , 60 Fed. Reg , (August 14, 1995):", "Image ImageDescription": "PHMSA has defined a \u2018farm tap\u2019 as industry jargon for a pipeline that branches from a transmission or gathering line to deliver gas to a farmer or other landowner. \u2026 Some operators primarily engaged in the gathering or transmission of gas also operate distribution pipelines. They do so when they deliver gas directly to customers through farm taps and industrial taps. In fact, because portions of these delivery lines qualify as service lines, gathering and transmission operators report them as distribution pipelines under 49 CFR Moreover, farm and industrial tap customers are not immune from harm by potential hazards that could occur on their piping. And surely not all farm and industrial tap customers know enough about gas piping safety to make even a single maintenance notice unnecessary. A \u2018farm tap\u2019 is industry jargon for a pipeline that branches from a transmission or gathering line to deliver gas to a farmer or other landowner. The gas may be metered or not. The operator may receive payment for the gas directly or indirectly through a contractual agreement with the landowner. The 2 statements shown are from preamble materials included in Customer-Owned Service Lines , 60 Fed. Reg , (August 14, 1995).
