This mandatory information collection
covers the collection of data from operators of natural gas
pipelines, underground natural gas storage facilities, and
liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities for annual reports. 49 CFR
191.17 requires operators of underground natural gas storage
facilities, gas transmission systems, and gas gathering systems to
submit an annual report by March 15, for the preceding calendar
year. This mandatory information collection covers the collection
of annual and immediate notice of incident report data from Gas
pipeline operators. As a result of the Safety of Gas Gathering
Pipelines: Extension of Reporting Requirements, Regulation of
Large, High-Pressure Lines, and Other Related Amendments final
rule, all gas gathering operators will become subject to incident
and annual reporting requirements. PHMSA is adjusting the burden of
this information collection to account for the new addition to the
reporting community.

As a result of the Safety of
Gas Gathering Pipelines: Extension of Reporting Requirements,
Regulation of Large, High-Pressure Lines, and Other Related
Amendments final rule, previously unregulated Type C and Type R gas
gathering pipeline systems will become subject to incident and
annual reporting requirements. PHMSA is revising this information
collection to account for the new addition to the reporting
community. PHMSA will require 500 previously unregulated gas
gathering line operators (370 Type C operators and 130 Type R
operators) to complete and submit annual reports each year. Type C
operators will submit annual report data on DOT Form PHMS F7
100.2-1 and Type R operators will submit annual report data on the
new DOT Form PHMSA F7 100.2-3 by March 15th of each year for the
preceding year. Gas Gathering operators will also be required to
make immediate telephonic notification of incidents, should they
occur. PHMSA expects that these previously unregulated operators
will make approximately 85 telephonic notifications of incidents
per year. PHMSA estimates that it takes 30 minutes to complete a
telephonic notification. As such, the estimated burden for gas
gathering operators to make immediate notification of incidents is
approximately 43 hours. As a result of the provisions mentioned
above, the burden for this information collection will increase by
585 new responses and 20,163 burden hours.
