A person owning or operating a natural gas pipeline facility is required to maintain records, make reports, and provide information to the Secretary of Transportation at the Secretary's request. This mandatory information collection request would require owners and/or operators of gas pipeline systems to make and maintain records in accordance with the requirements prescribed in 49 CFR Part 192 and to provide information to the Secretary of Transportation at the Secretary's request. Certain records are maintained for a specific length of time while others are required to be maintained for the life of the pipeline. PHMSA uses these records to verify compliance with regulated safety standards and to inform the agency on possible safety risks. Based on the provisions in the Safety of Gas Gathering Pipelines: Extension of Reporting Requirements, Regulation of Large, High-Pressure Lines, and Other Related Amendments final rule, PHMSA estimates that 370 new Type C gas gathering pipeline operators ~ (91,000 Type C miles w/o prior regulation) will be subject to these requirements.

The Safety of Gas Gathering Pipelines: Extension of Reporting Requirements, Regulation of Large, High-Pressure Lines, and Other Related Amendments final rule requires previously unregulated Type C gathering lines to be subject to various safety requirements including recordkeeping and reporting requirements. PHMSA estimates that 370 new Type C gas gathering pipeline operators ~ (91,000 Type C miles w/o prior regulation) will be subject to 49 CFR 192.9 recordkeeping requirements. PHMSA estimates that it will take these 370 operators 6 hours to create and maintain records associated with 49 CFR 192.9. Accordingly, PHMSA expects to add 370 responses and 2,220 hours to this information collection as a result of the provisions in this final rule.
