 9 practices, lack of maintenance, or age.
 10 2. Each operator of a gas pipeline facility shall:
 11 (a) provide the commission with an inventory of all gas piping or
 12 equipment within the operator's service area that is leaking or leak
 13 prone;
 14 (b) repair, rehabilitate, or replace any portion of leaking gas piping
 15 to cease such leak within the timeframes established by the commission
 16 pursuant to subdivision three of this section; and
 17 (c) replace leak prone pipe within the timeframes established by the
 18 commission pursuant to subdivision three of this section.
