Short Statement: PHMSA proposes to modify this collection to include a new notification provision in the Pipeline Safety: Repair Criteria NPRM. Under the proposal, gas transmission operators who perform an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) for dents would be required to submit their ECA procedures to PHMSA through the notification and no-objection process outlined in §192.712.  PHMSA expects 1,039 operators to spend approximately 400 hours developing and submitting ECA documentation to PHMSA. The burden estimate for this information collection has been adjusted accordingly.
