Explanation	SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2: FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT FROM THE FOOTNOTES OF THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The Association is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), except to the extent it has unrelated business income. In addition, the Association has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Association had no material net unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles require the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Association's financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management evaluated the Association's tax positions and concluded that the Association had taken no uncertain tax positions that require an adjustment to the financial statements. However, the conclusions regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. With few exceptions, the Association is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2010.	ExplanationTxt

ORGANIZATIONS WITH MEMBERS	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 PIPE LINE CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION has regular members (contractors) and associate members (non contractors). Those members are assessed dues.
ORGANIZATIONS WITH MEMBERS ELECTING GOVERNING BODY	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7(A): PIPE LINE CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION holds elections for officers and directors of the association. Only Regular members may cast ballots.
DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15(A) AND 15(B): As reported in the footnotes of the organization's audited financial statements, PLIAF and PLCA have a five-year employment agreement with J. Patrick Tielborg, their current Managing Director and General Counsel, (the Employee) beginning January 1, 2013. The agreement provides for a minimum salary of $475,000 per year in addition to benefits provided by an additional productivity bonus for purchase of an annuity. During January 2013, PLIAF and PLCA are to pay the Employee an additional productivity bonus based upon a prescribed formula involving the number of United Association man hours worked under the National Pipe Line Agreement between the United Association and the Pipe Line Contractors Association for the previous 12 months. During January of each calendar year after 2013, during the term of the employment agreement, PLIAF and PLCA are to purchase for and on behalf of the Employee, a non-qualified immediate deferred annuity contract for an aggregate premium equal to the amount of the productivity bonus for the previous twelve months. Payment of annuity benefits under the contract shall commence on the deferred annuity date specified in the annuity contract, which shall be seven years after the date of purchase. The Employee is the owner of the annuity contract, subject to a risk of forfeiture. The vesting requirements applicable to any annuity contract purchased provides for a risk of forfeiture that requires the Employee to transfer the annuity contract back to PLIAF and PLCA if the Employee is involuntarily terminated for cause or voluntary terminates other than for good reason. The maximum vesting period may not exceed the lesser of two years from the effective purchase date of such annuity contract or the difference between the effective date of the purchase of such annuity contract and the date of the expiration of the term of the employment agreement. If the Employee is involuntarily terminated without cause, dies, becomes incapacitated, or voluntarily terminates for good reason prior to the end of the term of the employment agreement, or retires at the end of the term of the employment agreement, all unvested annuity contracts shall become 100% vested, provided that the right to retain any annuity contract purchased within less than two years of the retirement or expiration of the term of the agreement is conditioned on the Employee refraining from employment or providing services to any trade association or similar organization that competes with or provides services similar to PLIAF and PLCA for a period that ends two years from the effective date of the purchase of any such annuity contract. Kevin Barrett, the Executive Director, receives compensation based on his experience and determination by the Board of Directors, which has exclusive control over all compensation and reviews staff compensation each year. He is an employee of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, an unrelated taxable organization, and provides management services to the filing organization. There is a compensation arrangement between the two organizations, whereby, the filing organization reimburses his compensation to the unrelated taxable organization for his services as Executive Director, as reported on Schedule L, Part IV.
FORM 990 REVIEW	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, WHO IS ALSO THE GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE ENTITY. DRAFT COPIES OF THE FORM 990 ARE PROVIDED TO THE GOVERNING BOARD BEFORE FILING. IF FURTHER REVIEW IS NEEDED, IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE ADVICE FROM THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FIRM.
