-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A person owning or operating a pipeline facility is required 
to maintain records, make reports, and provide information to the 
Secretary of Transportation at the Secretary's request. The Secretary, 
through PHMSA, uses this information to decide whether the owner or 
operator is complying with the Pipeline Safety Law (49 U.S.C.). This 
notice is published (pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995) 
to measure the need for paperwork collection from gas pipeline 
operators, to find ways to minimize the burden on these operators, to 
find ways to enhance the quality of information collected, and to 
verify the accuracy of PHMSA's estimate of the burden (measured in work 
hours) on private entities. This notice also seeks approval from OMB to 
renew the existing approval of this paperwork collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pipeline Safety Law (49 U.S.C. Chapter 
601) grants the Secretary of Transportation the authority to prescribe 
minimum safety standards for pipeline transportation and for pipeline 
facilities. To enable the Secretary to decide whether a person owning 
or operating a pipeline facility is complying with this chapter and 
standards prescribed or orders issued under this chapter, the person is 
required to (i) maintain records, make reports, and provide information 
the Secretary requires; and (ii) make the records, reports, and 
information available when the Secretary requests. These records help 
ascertain compliance and provide information for incident 
investigation. PHMSA is requesting comments from gas pipeline operators 
regarding the burden associated with providing recordkeeping 
requirements. The feedback from this request will assist PHMSA in 
assessing how it collects this information and also ensure that gas 
pipelines are operated in a safe manner.
    As used in this notice, `information collection' and `paperwork 
collection' are synonymous, and include all work related to preparing 
and disseminating information related to this recordkeeping requirement 
including completing paperwork, gathering information and conducting 
telephone calls.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Pipeline Safety Law (49 
U.S.C. Chapter 601), PHMSA shares responsibility for inspecting and 
overseeing the nation's pipelines with State pipeline safety offices. 
Regulations for enforcing this legislation are found in 49 CFR Part 
195, ``Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline.'' These 
regulations include recordkeeping requirements for hazardous liquid 
pipeline operators to submit accident reports. Both Federal and State 
regulators depend on accident reports to manage inspection programs and 
to identify trends in hazardous liquid pipeline safety. The importance 
of accident data and data quality are repeatedly emphasized by 
Congress, the National Transportation Safety Board, and DOT's Office of 
Inspector General. The current OMB approval for accident reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements for hazardous liquid pipeline operators is 
scheduled to expire on April 30, 2005. PHMSA would like to continue to 
collect vital information on accidents on these hazardous liquid 
pipelines to fulfill its statutory mandates.
    As used in this notice, `information collection' and `paperwork 
collection' are synonymous, and include all work related to preparing 
and disseminating information related to this recordkeeping requirement 
including completing paperwork, gathering information and conducting 
telephone calls.
    Type of Information Collection Request: Renewal of Existing 
Collection.
    Title of Information Collection: Certification and Agreement Forms 
for the Gas and Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Program.
    OMB Approval Number: 2137-0047.
    Frequency: Annually, and as needed.
    Use: This collection is used by PHMSA to ensure its statutory 
mandates for hazardous liquid pipeline safety.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
    Respondents: Hazardous liquid pipeline operators.
    Total Annual Hours Requested: 51,011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA published the Final Rule titled 
``Pipeline Safety: Pipeline Integrity management in High Consequence 
Areas (Hazardous Liquid Operators with less than 500 miles of 
Pipelines)'' on January 16, 2002, in response to a host of safety 
recommendations, statutory mandates (49 U.S.C. Chapter 601 and 49 CFR 
Part 195), and the results of accident analyses. This rule requires 
continual assessment and evaluation of pipeline integrity through 
inspection or testing, data integration and analysis, and follow-up 
remedial, preventive, and mitigative actions. The current OMB approval 
for information collection requirements for an estimated 132 hazardous 
liquid pipeline operators is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2005.
    The existing estimate of the information collection burden is based 
on the assumption that (1) all operators have developed initial 
integrity management plan, however, based on the audits conducted by 
PHMSA, approximately 50 percent or about 66 operators would need to 
substantially revise the initial plan, and would require approximately 
1,400 hours to revise their initial integrity management program; (2) 
an additional 330 hours are required to update these programs annually; 
and (3) an additional 500 hours per operator are required annually to 
integrate data into the operator's existing management information 
system. PHMSA would like to continue to collect vital information on 
integrity management programs in the high consequence areas to measure 
its program effectiveness and to fulfill its statutory mandates.
    As used in this notice, `information collection' and `paperwork 
collection' are synonymous, and include all work related to preparing 
and disseminating information related to this recordkeeping requirement 
including completing paperwork, gathering information and conducting 
telephone calls.
    Type of Information Collection Request: Renewal of Existing 
Collection.
    Title of Information Collection: Pipeline Integrity Management in 
High Consequence Areas for Operators with less than 500 Miles of 
Pipelines.
    OMB Approval Number: 2137-0605.
    Frequency: Annually, and as needed.
    Use: This collection is used by PHMSA to measure the program 
effectiveness and ensure its statutory mandates for hazardous liquid 
pipeline safety in the high consequence areas
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 132.
    Respondents: Hazardous liquid pipeline operators with less than 500 
miles of pipelines.
    Total Annual Hours Requested: 267,960.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 7, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 601, Title 49, United States Code 
(49 U.S.C. 60101 et. seq.) authorizes DOT to regulate pipeline 
transportation. While DOT is primarily responsible for developing, 
issuing, and enforcing minimum pipeline safety regulations, 49 U.S.C. 
60101 et. seq., provides for state assumption of all or part of the 
regulatory and enforcement responsibility for intrastate pipelines.
    Section 60105 of 49 U.S.C. sets forth specific requirements a state 
must meet to qualify for certification status to assume regulatory and 
enforcement responsibility for intrastate pipelines, (i.e., state 
adoption of minimum federal safety standards, state inspection of 
pipeline operators to determine compliance with the standards, and 
state provision for enforcement sanctions substantially the same as 
those authorized by 49 U.S.C. 60101 et. seq.) A participating state 
must annually submit a section 60105(a) Gas Pipeline Safety Program 
Certification and/or a Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Program 
Certification to the Office of Pipeline Safety signifying compliance 
with the terms of the certification.
    As used in this notice, ``information collection'' and ``paperwork 
collection'' are synonymous, and include all work related to preparing 
and disseminating information related to this recordkeeping requirement 
including completing paperwork, gathering information and conducting

    Use: This collection is used by PHMSA to ensure that State agencies 
attesting they have regulatory jurisdiction over pipeline safety have 
adopted and are complying with minimum Federal safety standards. This 
information is used to calculate grants to States.
