Record keeping Requirements for Gas Pipeline Operators

OMB 2137-0049 · DOT/PHMSA.

OMB 2137-0049

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. This ICR is being revised to include new recordkeeping requirements contained in the Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments final rule, including the requirements under §§ 192.13(d), 192.319(g), 192.461(i), 192.461(h), 192.465(d)(2), 192.478(a), 192.478(c), 192.485(c), 192.714(c) ,192.714(d)(3), 192.714 (g), 192.917(b)(2), 192.927 (c)(2), 192.929(b), 192.929 (b)(4)(i), and 192.929 (b)(5).
