including reasons for repair delay,
would occur when a pressure reduction
exceeds 365 days. Also, PHMSA
proposes to correct existing provisions
for calculating a pressure reduction
when making an immediate repair on a
hazardous liquid pipeline. The
proposed correction would allow
operators to use another acceptable
method to calculate reduced operating
pressure when a specified formula is not
applicable or results in a calculated
pressure higher than operating pressure.
Finally, PHMSA seeks the submittal of
engineering analyses and technical data.
These submittals are to provide the
basis for modifying the required time
periods for remediating certain
conditions found during a hazardous
liquid pipeline integrity assessment.
PHMSA will use this data to evaluate
the scope and scale of repair issues to
develop an accurate basis for
determining if any additional flexibility
is needed in the repair schedules.
Joint Meetings of the Technical
Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety
Standards Committee and the
Technical Pipelines Safety Standards
Committee
Wednesday, June 28 (9:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.)
The THLPSSC and TPSSC will hold a
joint session from 9:30 am. to 4:30 p.m.
to discuss the following regulatory
matters.

Preliminary Agenda for the Joint
Meetings
The day’s agenda includes these
topics:
• Reauthorization of the Pipeline
Safety Act—Discuss status.
• Data Improvement/Balance
Scorecard—Discuss a variety of data
quality improvements. Introduce the
concept of a company performance
scorecard to measure and manage
company safety and compliance
programs.
• Performance Measures/Metrics—
Discuss continuing efforts to improve
pipeline safety by concentrating
performance measures on serious
incidents as a natural outgrowth of
integrity management.
• Maximum Allowable Operating
Pressure—Discuss the waiver process
criteria for reconsideration of the
maximum allowable operating pressure
of pipelines in certain class locations.
• Operator Qualification—Discuss the
comments received from the public
meeting on the subject held on
December 15, 2005 (70 FR 62162). The
meeting provided an opportunity to
discuss progress on the operator

qualification program and to help
PHMSA prepare the Report to Congress
and the potential the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers consensus
standard offers for strengthening
operator qualification programs.
• Controller Certification Pilot
Program—Provide a summary of the
comprehensive review of existing
controller qualification procedures and
practices in industry and describe the
recommendations drafted for inclusion
in the draft report to Congress. Discuss
NTSB recommendations on SCADA and
human fatigue and report on solutions
considered in preparation for the public
workshop.
• Public Education (PANEL)—
Discuss the PHMSA Public Education
Policy Statement and the status of a
national clearinghouse to review
updated operator plans. Brief members

information designation of the PHMSA
National Pipeline Mapping System
availability to the public. Discuss the
Common Ground Alliances’ status of the
Dial 811 initiative and promote the
success of the Regional Common
Ground Alliances and the need to have
one in every state.
Technical Pipeline Safety Standards
Committee Meeting
Wednesday, June 28 (5 p.m. to 6 p.m.)
The TPSSC will meet from 5 p.m. to
6 p.m. to address the following two
topics:
• Internal Corrosion—Discuss and
vote on ‘‘Design and Construction
Standards to Reduce Internal Corrosion
in Gas Transmission Pipelines’’ (70 FR
74262; 12–15–05). This document
proposes regulations on the control of
internal corrosion when designing and
constructing new and replaced gas
transmission pipelines. The proposed
rule would require an operator to take
steps in design and construction to
reduce the risk that liquids collecting
within the pipeline could result in
failures because of internal corrosion.
These changes would ease steps an
operator must take in operating and
maintaining the pipeline to minimize
internal corrosion.
• Gas Distribution-DIMP/Excess Flow
Valves—Provide an update on the
regulatory proposal and an update on
Gas Pipeline Technology Committee
guidance development.
PHMSA will post more detailed
agendas and any additional information
or changes on its Web page (https://
phmsa.dot.gov) approximately 15 days
before the meeting date.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2006 / Notices
obligation under the Federal Election
Campaign Act of 1971 (the Act). The
Act’s legislative history indicates that
one of its statutory goals is to prevent
candidates for Federal political office
from incurring large amounts of
unsecured debt with regulated
transportation companies (e.g. airlines).
This information collection allows the
Department to monitor and disclose the
amount of unsecured credit extended by
airlines to candidates for Federal office.
All certificated air carriers are required
to submit this information.
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires
a statistical agency to clearly identify
information it collects for non-statistical
purposes. BTS hereby notifies the
respondents and the public that BTS
uses the information it collects under
this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to,
publication of both Respondent’s
identity and its data, submission of the
information to agencies outside BTS for
review, analysis and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative
matters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval No.: 2138–0006.
Title: Preservation of Air Carrier
Records—14 CFR Part 249 .
Form No.: None.
Type Of Review: Extension of a
currently approved recordkeeping
requirement.
Respondents: Certificated air carriers
and charter operators.
Number of Respondents: 120
certificated air carriers. 300 charter
operators.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
per certificated air carrier. 1 hour per
charter operator.
Total Annual Burden: 660 hours.
Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the
retention of records such as: General
and subsidiary ledgers, journals and
journal vouchers, voucher distribution
registers, accounts receivable and
payable journals and legers, subsidy
records documenting underlying
financial and statistical reports to DOT,
funds reports, consumer records, sales
reports, auditors’ and flight coupons, air
waybills, etc. Depending on the nature
of the document, the carrier may be
required to retain the document for a
period of 30 days to 3 years. Public
charter operators and overseas military
personnel charter operators must retain
documents which evidence or reflect
deposits made by each charter
participant and commissions received
by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents,
and all statements, invoices, bills and
receipts from suppliers or furnishers of
goods and services in connection with
the tour or charter. These records are
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703

retained for 6 months after completion
of the charter program.
Not only is it imperative that carriers
and charter operators retain source
documentation, but it is critical that we
ensure that DOT has access to these
records. Given DOT’s established
information needs for such reports, the
underlying support documentation must
be retained for a reasonable period of
time. Absent the retention requirements,
the support for such reports may or may
not exist for audit/validation purposes
and the relevance and usefulness of the
carrier submissions would be impaired,
since the data could not be verified to
the source on a test basis.
