Abstract:
This information covers the collection of annual report data for gas distribution pipeline operators. PHMSA proposes to revise the Gas Distribution Annual report to collect the number of EFVs installed on multi-family dwellings and small commercial businesses. PHMSA also proposes to collect the number of curb valves installed. Currently, operators are required to submit the total number of excess flow valves installed on single family residences and the total number of EFVs within their system.

Short Statement:
Data that was analyzed during the development of the Regulatory Impact Analysis identified a slight change in the size of the affected entities. During the NPRM stage, PHMSA estimated 1,440 responses. This number has been revised to 1,446. This information was derived from annual report data culled from the 2015 reporting cycle and is more recent than the data used during the most recent approval of this information collection. Additionally, PHMSA is estimating that the revisions made to the Gas Distribution Annual Report form will increase the burden of this information collection by one hour per operator annually.
