Abstract:
This mandatory information collection covers the collection of information from Gas pipeline operators for Incidents and Annual reports. 49 CFR § 191.15 requires each operator of an underground natural gas storage facility to submit DOT Form PHMSA F7100.2 as soon as practicable but not more than 30 days after detection of an incident. 49 CFR § 191.17 requires each operator of an underground natural gas storage facility to submit an annual report on DOT PHMSA Form 7100.4-1 by March 15, for the preceding calendar year. The first submission will be due March 15, 2018 for the 2017 calendar year. PHMSA is revising the Gas Transmission and Gas Gathering Annual Report (form PHMSA F7 100.2-1) to collect additional information including mileage of pipe subject to the IVP and MCA criteria. The information from annual reports are used for identifying existing or potential pipeline safety problems, to develop statistical and data/safety reports, and to develop benefit-cost analyses pertaining to pipeline safety. The information is an essential part of PHMSA’s overall effort to minimize natural gas storage, transmission, gathering, and distribution pipeline failures.
