limited to, chromium-molybdenum steel or chromium magnesium steel, and
have permanently impressed into the steel, either before or after
importation, the symbol of a U.S. Department of Transportation,
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT)-approved

regardless of corresponding service pressure levels and regardless of
physical dimensions, finish or coatings.
Excluded from the scope of the Order are high pressure steel
