The Federal pipeline safety
regulations at 49 CFR §§195.58 require operators of hazardous
liquid pipelines to submit specific data on the safety of their
pipelines annually. This mandatory information collection requires
the operators to submit data on the preceding year electronically
by March 15th of each calendar year. This information is used by
PHMSA to identify trends in hazardous liquid pipeline accidents and
to identify operators who have poor safety records. This
information collection is being revised to add "Carbon Monoxide" to
the name of form PHMSA F 700-1.1 and to make changes to Part J of
the annual report form.
