Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Pipeline Safety: Unusually Sensitive Areas for the Great Lakes, Coastal Beaches, and Certain Coastal Waters IFR amended the pipeline safety regulations to explicitly state that certain coastal waters, the Great Lakes, and coastal beaches are classified as unusually sensitive areas for the purpose of compliance with pipeline safety regulations. PHMSA estimates that the new definitions for unusually sensitive areas in the Pipeline Safety: Unusually Sensitive Areas for the Great Lakes, Coastal Beaches, and Certain Coastal Waters IFR will require operators of rural gathering lines regulated under § 195.11 to keep records of qualification for 30 additional individuals. One-sixth of these new individuals will have to comply with this record keeping requirement annually. This results in an average annual burden increase of 5 responses and 1 hour per year over 3 years.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,076,300
