Abstract:
This mandatory information collection covers the collection of annual report data from natural gas pipeline operators. PHMSA is revising the Gas Transmission and Gas Gathering Annual Report (form PHMSA F7 100.2-1) to collect more granular data on conditions being repaired outside of HCA segments. Operators currently provide the number of anomalies outside of HCAs based on assessment methods, however, PHMSA requires operators to further categorize the data in accordance with 49 CFR 192.713. Based on the proposed revisions, PHMSA estimates that it will take an additional 30 minutes per report to include the newly required data - increasing the burden for completing each annual report to 47.5 hours. This change results in an overall burden increase of 905 hours for this information collection.

Short Statement:
Due to the provisions in the “Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments Final Rule, PHMSA revised the Gas Transmission and Gas Gathering Annual Report to collect additional information on anomalous conditions being repaired outside of high consequence areas. The burden estimate for this information collection has been revised to include an increase in burden resulting from provisions of the Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments Final Rule. PHMSA expects that the currently approved burden for this information collection will increase by 905 hours for annual reporting (on DOT PHMSA Form 7100.4-1) relative to operators of natural gas transmission pipelines.
