(b) Inspect such pipeline facilities and report the findings to the
division as prescribed by standards established pursuant to this
chapter.

such pipeline facilities owned, operated, or leased by such person,
and any change in such plan, as prescribed by rules established
pursuant to this chapter. Such plan shall be subject to approval by
the division, and if at any time such plan is determined by the
division to be inadequate to achieve safe operation, upon

notice and opportunity for public hearing, order the plan revised.
Any plan required under this chapter shall be practicable and
designed to meet the need for pipeline safety.
(d) Establish and maintain such records, make such reports, and
provide such information as the division, acting through the
commission, may reasonably require to enable it to determine
whether such person has acted or is acting in compliance with this
chapter and the standards established under this chapter.
Each person upon request of an authorized representative of the
division shall permit such representative access and entry for the
purpose of inspection of such pipeline facilities, and inspection of
books, papers, records, and documents (including the right to copy the
same) as is reasonably necessary in order to determine whether such
person has acted or is acting in compliance with this chapter and the
standards established pursuant to this chapter.
