National Registry of Pipeline and LNG Operators

The National Registry of Pipeline and LNG Operators serves as the storehouse for the reporting requirements for an operator regulated or subject to reporting requirements under 49 CFR Parts 192, 193, or 195. This mandatory information collection would require jurisdictional pipeline operators to submit the required data to register with the National Registry of Pipeline and LNG Operators and notify PHMSA when they experience significant asset changes, including new construction, that affect PHMSA’s ability to accurately monitor and assess pipeline safety performance. Certain types of changes to, or within, an operator’s facilities or pipeline network represent potential safety-altering activities for which PHMSA may need to inspect, investigate, or otherwise oversee to ensure that any public safety concerns are adequately and proactively addressed. . The forms for assigning and maintaining Operator Identification (OPID) information are the Operator Assignment Request Form (PHMSA F 1000.1) and Operator Registry Notification Form (PHMSA F 1000.2). The purposes of the collection is to maintain an accurate assessment of the nations pipeline infrastructure and to be kept abreast of conditions that could potentially compromise the safety and economic viability of the U.S. pipeline system. The Pipeline Safety: Safety of On-Shore Hazardous Liquid Pipelines final rule require operators of gravity and gathering lines to submit annual and accident reports and in order to do so they must obtain an OPID through PHMSA’s National Registry of Operators and make notification when applicable. This information collection is being revised to account for the burden associated with the newly-regulated operators.
