Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Annual Report for Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Sytstems has been amended to include the reporting of abandoned pipelines in high consequence areas. PHMSA estimates that ten percent of reporting companies will abandon or replace pipe in high consequence areas in any given year and 30 additional minutes would be required to collect and report the information, resulting in an increase in burden of 16.75 hours (335 reports × .10 affected × .5 hours). For the purpose of calculating burden hours, this amount has been rounded up to 17 additional hours for a total reporting burden of 8,063 (8,046 + 17) hours. PHMSA is also revising this information to require operators to submit "by-state" data for Parts D&E. Currently, 44% of hazardous liquid operators (approx. 197 operators) submit interstate data. These are the operators that would primarily be affected by "by-state" reporting requirements. PHMSA estimates that it will take these operators an additional 2 hours to collect and disseminate this information on a by-state basis. As a result, PHMSA is adding an additional 394 burden hours (197 operators x 2 hours) for the collection of this information. The revisions detailed above will result in an overall burden increase of 411 hours for a total reporting burden of 8,457 hours (8,046 currently approved burden hours + 411 additional hours).
