Terms of Clearance:
OMB is filing comment on the proposed revisions in accordance with 5 CFR 1320. OMB reminds the agency to follow the procedures in 5 CFR 1320 for collections associated with proposed rules if it decides to finalizes the proposed revisions. In addition, previous terms of clearance continue to apply, which are the following: DOT is asked to provide OMB by no later than the date this approval expires one of the following: a joint PHMSA-FRA plan, coordinated with OST, to create a single system for electronically reporting accident information involving trains, pipelines, and hazardous materials and eliminates duplicative reporting requirements and redundant agency IT systems to the extent feasible OR a joint PHMSA-FRA report, coordinated with OST, indicating the reasons why developing such a plan is neither consistent with the PRA’s purposes nor otherwise in the public’s interest, the process used to arrive at this conclusion, and the extent public stakeholders were consulted. As part of the plan, PHMSA and FRA may explore whether additional or modified information should be collected to improve execution of agency missions and the utility of the information collected, consistent with the PRA. OMB plans to add these terms of clearance to all relevant PHMSA and FRA accident reporting collections, as appropriate.

Abstract:
This information collection covers the collection of information from owners and operators of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines. To ensure adequate public protection from exposure to potential hazardous liquid pipeline failures, PHMSA collects information on reportable hazardous liquid pipeline accidents. Additional information is also obtained concerning the characteristics of an operator’s pipeline system. As a result of this proposed rulemaking, 5 gravity line operators and 23 gathering line operators would be required to submit accident reports to PHMSA on occasion. These 28 additional operators will also be required to keep mandated records. This information collection is being revised to account for the additional burden that will be incurred by these newly regulated entities. Operators currently submitting annual reports will not be otherwise impacted by this rule.
