Abstract: Hazardous liquid pipeline operators must keep records to ensure that their pipelines are operated safely. Operators must also report accidents. This information collection is being submitted at this time because of the upcoming 09/30/08 expiration date. It should be noted that Pipeline will be re-submitting this IC in the near future due to revisions to the associated form that will among other things, establish consistent categories of causes for incidents and leaks on all gas pipeline reports, specify the consequences of failure to display a valid control number, and provide the time estimated to complete the form.
