One pipeline has notified all shippers and suppliers that their metering ticket will be the official transfer document for all shipments. This appears to be appropriate for a transfer whereby the pipeline is delivering (or transferring custody to a party)
EPA does not require that there be an "official" transfer document. While the approach described in the question seems appropriate, the enforcement liability still remains with the transferor. As a result, the transferor should verify that the transferee receives all the PTD information for each batch.(8/29/94)
