Dear Mr/Ms. [Last Name ]:

On August 3, 2007, President Bush signed the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, P.L. 110-53 (2007) (9/11 Act). Section 1557 of the law required the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop and implement a plan for inspecting the critical facilities of the 100 most critical U.S. pipeline systems. In April 2011, TSA published new Pipeline Security Guidelines which updated the criteria to be used in determining critical pipeline facilities. The new guidelines asked pipeline system operators to update their listing of critical facilities based on the new criteria.

In order for TSA to continue visiting and collecting security information at critical pipeline facilities, information is requested on critical facilities for the pipeline system(s) indicated below. To the extent that information provided is Sensitive Security Information (SSI), it will be designated as SSI and handled in accordance with 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520 and 5 USC 552.
