SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Standards
in 49 CFR 192.383, ‘‘Excess flow valve
customer notification,’’ require that
before operators install or replace
certain gas service lines, they must
notify customers in writing that excess
flow valves are available for installation
if the customer agrees to pay for the
related expenses. Operators also must
keep records that include the notice
currently in use and evidence that
notices were sent as required during the
previous 3 years. The standards were
published in response to a statutory
mandate in 49 U.S.C. 60110(c).
This information collection supports
the DOT strategic goal of safety by
reducing the number of fatalities,
injuries, and amount of property
damage.

need for the proposed collection of
information for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques.
As used in this notice, ‘‘information
collection’’ includes all work related to
preparing and disseminating
information related to this
recordkeeping requirement including
completing paperwork, gathering
information and conducting telephone
