Abstract: This mandatory information collection request covers the collection of data on safety-related conditions occurring on a pipeline. 49 USC 60102 requires each operator of a pipeline facility (except master meter operators) to submit to DOT a written report on any safety-related condition that causes or has caused a significant change or restriction in the operation of a pipeline facility or a condition that is a hazards to life, property or the environment. This information collection promotes the US DOT’s and PHMSA’s Safety and Environmental Strategic Goals. PHMSA uses the information collected to identify safety related trends and to take action to reduce pipeline accidents and incidents. Decreased incidents and accidents will better protect both human and environmental resources.
