Operators of natural gas pipelines and
LNG facilities are required to report incidents, on occasion, to
PHMSA per the requirements in 49 CFR Part 191. This mandatory
information collection covers the collection of incident report
data from natural gas pipeline operators. The reports contained
within this information collection support the Department of
Transportation’s strategic goal of safety. This information is an
essential part of PHMSA’s overall effort to minimize natural gas
transmission, gathering, and distribution pipeline failures. Due to
the provisions contained within the Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline
Regulatory Reform NPRM, PHMSA is revising this information
collection to reduce the burden on gas pipeline operators. The
Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Regulatory Reform NPRM raises the
monetary threshold in 49 CFR 191.3 for reporting incidents from
$50,000 to $118,000. Because of this change, PHMSA expects to
receive 26 fewer gas distribution incidents and 13 fewer gas
transmission incidents for an overall burden reduction of 468 hours
annually. PHMSA is also revising Form F7100.1, the Gas Distribution
Incident Report form, to collect incident data on mechanical joint
failures that arise to the level of a reportable incident in 49 CFR
191.3 PHMSA does not expect there to be an increase in the overall
burden for the reporting of Gas Distribution incident
data.
