PROGRESS REPORT ATTACHMENTS (NATURAL GAS )

INSTRUCTIONS:
These attachments request information either for the entire calendar year (CY20__: January 1 through December 31,
20__) or as of (or on) December 31, 20__. Please report actual as opposed to estimated numbers on the attachments. Be
careful to provide complete and accurate information since the PHMSA State Programs will be validating the attachments
during the state's next annual evaluation.
.
.
.
.
Attachment 1: State Jurisdiction and Agent Status Over Natural Gas Facilities. Requires the state to indicate
those pipeline operator types over which the state agency has jurisdiction under existing law. If the state does not
have jurisdiction over an operator type, indicate why not in the column designated No, using the one alpha code (A
or B) which best describes the reason. If the state agency has jurisdiction over an operator type, place an X in the
column designated Yes and provide information on the number of operators, the number and percent of operators
inspected, the number of inspection units, and the number and percent of inspection units inspected. If the
jurisdiction over a type of operator is under a Section 60106 Agreement, indicate X/60106 in the column designated
Yes. [If the same operator/inspection unit is visited more than once during the year, count only once under number
of operators inspected/number of inspection units inspected on Attachment 1. The multiple visits would, however,
be reflected under total inspection person-days in Attachment 2.]
Attachment 2: Total State Field Inspection Activity. Requires the state to indicate by operator type the number
of inspection person-days spent during CY 20__ on inspections; standard comprehensive; design, testing, and
construction; on-site operator training; integrity management; operator qualification; investigating incidents or
accidents; damage prevention activities; and compliance follow-up. Attachment 2 should include drug and alcohol
inspections. Counting In Office Inspection Time - An inspector may choose to review pipeline company procedure
manuals or records away from the company facility in order to effectively use onsite inspection time. The amount
of time spent reviewing procedures and records may be counted as part of the inspection process. It is important
that an inspector only record time for activities that normally would be completed as part of an onsite inspection.
For example, an inspector may attribute the three hours he or she spent reviewing a pipeline operator's procedure
manual and records prior to an on site inspection towards the total inspection time. Each supervisor must carefully
review the reported time to ensure the time attributed is consistent with the activity completed and is carefully
delineated from normal office duties.
Attachment 3: Natural Gas Facility Subject to State Safety Jurisdiction. States should only list the facilities
that are jurisdictional under Part 192 of which the state has safety authority over. This attachment requires the
business name and address of each person subject to the pipeline safety jurisdiction of the state agency as of
December 31, 20__. Also indicate the operator type (e.g., intrastate transmission) consistent with the listing in
Attachment 1 and include the number of inspection units in each operator's system.
Attachment 4: Natural Gas Pipeline Incidents. Requires a list of incidents investigated by or reported to the state
agency that involved personal injury requiring hospitalization, a fatality, property damage exceeding $50,000, and
other incidents otherwise considered significant by the state agency. Please also make an effort to clearly identify
the cause of the incident using the one most appropriate alpha code footnoted in the attachment. We summarize this
information for Congress by classifying the cause into one of eight categories: (A) corrosion failure; (B) natural
force damage; (C) excavation damage; (D) other outside force damage; (E) material failure of pipe or weld; (F)
equipment failure; (G) incorrect operation; (H) other accident cause. Please provide a summary of incident
investigations.

Attachment 5: State Compliance Actions. This requires a summary of state pipeline inspection and compliance
actions. [In the Number of Compliance Actions Taken column, keep in mind one compliance action can cover
multiple probable violations.]
Attachment 6: State Record Maintenance and Reporting. Requires a list of records and reports maintained and
required by the state agency.
Attachment 7: State Employees Directly Involved in the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Program. This
attachment requires a list by name and title of each employee directly involved in the Natural Gas pipeline safety
program. Be sure to include the percentage of time each employee has been involved in the Natural Gas pipeline
safety program during 20__. If an employee has not been in the Natural Gas pipeline safety program the full year
of 20__, please note the number of months working on the program. Indicate a Qualification Category for each of
the state's inspectors (see Attachment 7a). The categories are shown in descending order of education and
experience. Please enter the number of the highest description applicable to each inspector. For each inspector and
supervisor, indicate the month and year he/she successfully completed the training courses at the Pipeline Safety
Office of Training and Qualifications in Oklahoma City, OK. Finally, provide in summary form the number of all
staff (supervisors, inspectors/investigator, damage prevention/technical and clerical/administrative) working on the
Natural Gas pipeline safety program and the person-years devoted to Natural Gas pipeline safety. Person-years
should be reported in hundreds (e.g., 3.25).
Attachment 8: State Compliance with Federal Requirements. This requires the state to indicate whether it is in
compliance with applicable federal requirements. If a particular requirement is not applicable to the state (e.g.,
offshore inspections), indicate NA in the column designated Y/N/NA If a regulation has been adopted, indicate the
date adopted (e.g., 05/01/04) in the appropriate column. If the regulation is applicable but has not been adopted,
indicate N in the Y/N/NA column and explain why not in the appropriate column (e.g., requires legislative action).
[If the state has not adopted the maximum please indicate civil penalty levels in effect in the state as of December
31, 20__. Note that at the end of Attachment 8 we are requesting each state to indicate the frequency its legislature
meets in general session. This information will be taken into account when determining if applicable federal
regulations have been adopted within 24 months of the effective date or two general sessions of the state legislature.
Attachment 10: Performance and Damage Prevention Questions. This attachment requires a narrative of each
states goals and accomplishments. In addition it requires a narrative on each states progress toward meeting the
nine elements of an effective damage prevention program as described in the PIPES Act of 2006.

Inspection Unit. An inspection unit is all or part of an operator's pipeline facilities that are under the control of an
administrative unit that provides sufficient communication and controls to ensure uniform design, construction,
operation, and maintenance procedures for the facilities. (See Glossary of Terms in Guidelines for States Participating
in the Pipeline Safety Program for application of the inspection unit concept to transmission and hazardous liquid
pipeline systems, distribution systems, liquefied natural gas systems, municipality, master meter system, regulated
gathering pipeline systems, and propane-air systems/petroleum gas systems.)
Inspection Person-Day. An inspection person-day is all or part of a day spent by a state agency representative
including travel in an on site examination or evaluation of an operator or his system to determine if the operator is in
compliance with federal or state pipeline safety regulations, in an on site investigation of a pipeline incident, or in jobsite training of an operator. Time expended on such activities should be reported as one inspection person-day for each
day devoted to safety issues, regardless of the number of operators visited during that day.
Probable Violation. A probable violation is a non-compliance with any section or, where a section is divided into
subsections (a), (b), (c), etc., any subsection of federal or state pipeline regulations. Each numbered section should be
counted separately. Multiple non-compliances of a numbered section discovered on the same inspection should be
counted as one probable violation with multiple pieces of evidence.
Compliance Action. A compliance action is an action or series of sequential actions taken to enforce federal or state
pipeline regulations. One compliance action can cover multiple probable violations. A compliance action may take the
form of a letter warning of future penalties for continued violation, an administratively imposed monetary sanction or
order directing compliance with the regulations, an order directing corrective action under hazardous conditions, a
show-cause order, a criminal sanction, a court injunction, or a similar formal action.
