Abstract:
Operators of natural gas pipelines and LNG facilities are required to report incidents, on occasion, to PHMSA per the requirements in 49 CFR Part 191. This mandatory information collection covers the collection of incident report data from natural gas pipeline operators. The reports contained within this information collection support the Department of Transportation’s strategic goal of safety. This information is an essential part of PHMSA’s overall effort to minimize natural gas transmission, gathering, and distribution pipeline failures. Due to the provisions contained within the Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines, PHMSA is revising the Gas Transmission Incident report to have operators indicate whether incidents occur inside Moderate Consequence Areas. PHMSA does not expect there to be an increase in burden for the reporting of Gas Transmission incident data.
