Back in July 2012, before our shareholders meeting in September, the PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) imposed a pressure reducing restriction on the Enbridge pipeline in connection with the failure of Line 14 that occurred on July 27,2012, near Grand Marsh, Wisconsin. The imposed 20% reduction was a corrective measure until their pipeline met more stringent guidelines. The involvement of PHMSA with pipeline operators has to be one of the strongest incentives to consider the AOT as a corrective solution to higher pressure (demand) on existing and proposed pipelines.

See the following PDF, page 5, point 2

Just this week (6 April, 2013) I read in the Quebec La Presse Montreal : “Dans une ordonnance envoyée a Exxon après la rupture du pipeline Pegasus en Arkansas la PHMSA ordonne a Exxon de baisser de 20% la pression dans ce pipeline s’il est remis en service”
