Abstract:
Operators of gas and hazardous liquid pipelines must develop, implement, and submit a human factors management plans designed to reduce risk associated with human factors in each control room. This mandatory record keeping requirement supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “SAFETY STRATEGIC GOAL” which targets three main strategic initiatives: managing risk and integrity, sharing responsibility, and providing effective stewardship. This goal enhances public health and safety by working toward the elimination of transportation-related deaths and injuries. The information is used by PHMSA to determine compliance with federal pipeline safety regulations and is also used by Agency and State Officials to assist federal and state pipeline safety inspectors who audit this information when they conduct compliance inspections and to provide background for failure investigations.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes that would impact this information collection. The burden estimate for this information collection remains unchanged at 127, 28 hours. In reviewing the approved burden estimate, PHMSA adjusted the number of responses for this information collection. Previously, PHMSA split the estimated hourly burden across all 2,702 operators evenly however, not all operators are impacted equally so the number of responses has been adjusted to account for the differences. PHMSA is not requesting to collect any additional data at this time.
