Short Statement: The Safety of Gas Gathering Pipelines: Extension of Reporting Requirements, Regulation of Large, High-Pressure Lines, and Other Related Amendments final rule requires previously unregulated Type C gathering lines to be subject to various safety requirements including recordkeeping and reporting requirements. PHMSA estimates that 370 new Type C gas gathering pipeline operators ~ (91,000 Type C miles w/o prior regulation) will be subject to 49 CFR 192.9 recordkeeping requirements. PHMSA estimates that it will take these 370 operators 6 hours to create and maintain records associated with 49 CFR 192.9. Accordingly, PHMSA expects to add 370 responses and 2,220 hours to this information collection as a result of the provisions in this final rule.
