Abstract: The Federal pipeline safety
regulations at 49 CFR 192.612 and
195.413 require operators to conduct
appropriate periodic underwater
inspections in the Gulf of Mexico and
its inlets. If an operator discovers that
its underwater pipeline is exposed or
poses a hazard to navigation, among
other remedial actions such as marking
and reburial in some cases, the operator
must contact the National Response
Center by telephone within 24 hours of
discovery and report the location of the
exposed pipeline.
PHMSA’s regulations for reporting the
abandonment of underwater pipelines
can be found at §§ 192.727 and 195.59.
These provisions contain certain
requirements for disconnecting and

require operators to notify PHMSA of
each abandoned offshore pipeline
facility or each abandoned onshore
pipeline facility that crosses over, under
or through a commercially navigable
waterway.
Affected Public: Operators of pipeline
facilities (except master meter
operators).
Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping
Burden:
Estimated number of responses: 92.
Estimated annual burden hours:
1,372.
Frequency of collection: On occasion.
Comments are invited on:
(a) The need for the renewal and
revision of these collections of
information for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques.
