Abstract:
49 USC 60102 requires each operator of a pipeline facility (except master meter operators) to submit to DOT a written report on any safety-related condition that causes or has caused a significant change or restriction in the operation of a pipeline facility or a condition that is a hazards to life, property or the environment. The Pipeline Safety: Safety of On-Shore Hazardous Liquid Pipelines final rule will require operators of both gravity lines and gathering lines to be subject to safety-related condition reporting. This information collection is being revised to account for the additional burden that will be incurred by newly regulated entities. Operators currently submitting annual reports will not be otherwise impacted by this rule.

Short Statement:
The Pipeline Safety: Safety of On-Shore Hazardous Liquid Pipelines rule requires operators of both gravity lines and gathering lines to be subject to safety-related condition reporting. While there is no guarantee that each of the newly covered operators will incur a safety-related condition, it is a possibility. As a result, PHMSA plans to include an additional 28 HL pipeline operators (23 gathering line operators and approximately 5 gravity line operators) in this reporting community. PHMSA is not making any changes or adjustments to this information collection other than the added burden that will be incurred by the newly covered operators.
