Abstract: This information collection request is to extend without change collections of information required by PHMSA regulations pertaining to Hazardous Liquid operators. 49 CFR 195.52 (c) requires operators to have a written procedure to calculate and provide reasonable initial estimate of the amount of released product whenever there is a reportable accident as described in 49 CFR 195.50. 49 CFR 195.54 requires operators to file an accident report, as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after discovery of the accident, on DOT Form 7000-1 whenever there is a reportable accident as described in 49 CFR 195.50. 49 CFR 195.444 requires operators of Hazardous Liquid pipelines to comply with API RP 1130 which was incorporated by reference into the Pipeline Safety Regulations in 49 CFR 195.3. This standard requires recordkeeping activities pertaining to computational pipeline monitoring (CPM) leak detection systems. 49 CFR 195.505, 195.507, and 195.509 require Hazardous Liquid pipeline operators to have written documentation of various operator qualification requirements. The records must be kept, maintained, and available for review by the Administrator of PHMSA or by a state agency participating under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 601 if the program is under the authority of that state agency.
