Abstract: This ICR is not a revision but instead an unchanged continuation of the previous NPMS submission requirements. Each operator of a pipeline facility (except distribution lines and gathering lines) must provide PHMSA geospatial data for their pipeline system and contact information. The provided information is incorporated into NPMS to support various regulatory programs, pipeline inspections, and authorized external customers. Following the initial submission of the requested data, the operator must make a new submission to NPMS if any changes occur so that PHMSA can maintain and improve the accuracy of the NPMS’s information.
