Important Instruction to Operator: When a common PHMSA-required pipeline safety program exists which covers assets having
multiple OPID numbers, the Operators assigned those OPIDs are required to inform PHMSA as to which one of the various OPIDs is
“primary” for the purposes of PHMSA inspections and National Registry Reporting (e.g., which OPID should be contacted and referred
to when PHMSA or a state exercising jurisdiction intends to inspect that safety program), and must do so for each PHMSA-required
pipeline safety program listed below.

Guidance for Selecting the Appropriate Notification Type
Type A – Operator Name Change
Each PHMSA-issued Operator Identification Number (OPID) has a name associated with the number.
Submit a Type A to change the name. PHMSA uses this official operator name in various data
systems.
Type C – Change in Safety Program
Each operator has designated their Safety Program Relationships (SPR) through either OpID
Validation or Assignment. There are up to eight Safety Program Relationships for each pipeline
system type – Gas Distribution (GD), Gas Gathering (GG), Gas Transmission (GT), Hazardous
Liquids (HL), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and Underground Natural Gas Storage (UNGS).
Operators either reported they do not share safety programs with other operators or reported the
Primary OpID for shared safety programs. All operators sharing the safety program report the same
Primary OpID.
When is a Type C Notification required?
When facilities remain within an OpID, but the operator begins using a new, shared safety program for
that pipeline system type. For example, Operator A reported that no safety programs are shared with
other operators when they Validated. Operator A begins using Operator B’s Public Awareness
program. Within 60 days of the change, Operator A must submit a Type C Notification changing the
Public Awareness SPR from independent to shared. Operators A and B need to coordinate in advance
to agree upon the Primary OpID to be reported. If Operator B had previously reported that Public
Awareness was not shared with other operators, Operator B also must submit a Type C Notification. If
Operator B had previously reported shared Public Awareness, Operator B does not need to submit a
Type C Notification, unless the agreed upon Primary OpID has changed. If the Primary OpID is
changed, Operator B and all other operators sharing the program must submit a Type C Notification to
report a consistent Primary OpID for Public Awareness.
When is a Type C Notification not required?
If a facility is bought, sold, or the operator has changed. Also, if an existing safety program is revised,
but there are no changes to the operators sharing the program. For example, assume Operators X, Y,
and Z share a Damage Prevention program. If the program is revised, but there is no change in the
operators sharing the program, then no Type C Notification is required.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
All section references are to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). The National
Registry Notification is used by operators to report certain asset-changing or program-changing events
associated with pipelines, pipeline facilities, or LNG facilities.
Each operator of a gas or hazardous liquid pipeline, or pipeline facility, or LNG facility is
required to submit notification of specified events to PHMSA in accordance with §191.22(c) or
§195.64(c). Operators must submit notification either 60 days (or more) before the planned
occurrence or 60 days (or less) after the occurrence, as specified in these regulations.
Construction notifications are required 60 days prior to the “event.” On September 12, 2014,
PHMSA published an Advisory Bulletin describing the activities that constitute the “event” of
construction, which determines the due date for the notification.
These notification requirements do not apply to an operator that either solely operates a
petroleum gas system that serves fewer than 100 customers from a single source or master meter
systems (11/10/11;76 FR 70217).

Alternate Reporting Methods
Operators for whom electronic reporting imposes an undue burden and hardship may submit a written
request for an alternate reporting method. Operators must follow the requirements in §191.7(d) or
§195.58(d) to request an alternate reporting method and must comply with any conditions imposed as
part of PHMSA’s approval of an alternate reporting method.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Make an entry in each block which is applicable. Estimate data only if necessary. Avoid entering any
data as UNKNOWN or 0 (zero) except where zero is appropriate to indicate that there were no
instances or amounts of the attribute being reported.
Do not report pipeline miles in feet. When reporting mileages that are less than 10 miles or when
reporting portions of a mile, convert feet into a decimal notation (e.g. 2,640 feet = .5 miles) and report
mileage using decimals rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile. Operators may round all mileages that
are greater than 10 miles to the nearest mile. Do not use fractions.

For gas pipeline facilities, Interstate and Intrastate are defined by statute as:
Interstate gas pipeline facility means a gas pipeline facility used to transport gas and
subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under
the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 et seq.).
Intrastate gas pipeline facility means a gas pipeline facility and transportation of gas
within a State not subject to the jurisdiction of FERC under the Natural Gas Act (15
U.S.C. 717 et seq.).
For hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipeline facilities, Interstate and Intrastate are defined in
§195.2 as:
Interstate pipeline* means a pipeline or that part of a pipeline that is used in the
transportation of hazardous liquids or carbon dioxide in interstate or foreign commerce.
Intrastate pipeline* means a pipeline or that part of a pipeline to which Part 195 applies
that is not an interstate pipeline.
* The Part 195.2 definition of “pipeline” includes all parts of a pipeline facility through
which a hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide moves in transportation
