ACTION: Notice; Issuance of Advisory Bulletin. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document tells certain pipeline operators how to submit their written public awareness programs for review. Regulations issued in 2005 provide details about the content of the programs and establish completion dates. The 2002 amendment to the pipeline safety law requires pipeline operators to submit these programs for review and PHMSA has a clearinghouse approach for reviewing interstate and many intrastate operators. This document ensures operators know where and when to submit their programs. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Blaine Keener by phone at (202) 366– 0970, or by e-mail at blaine.keener@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES I. Background The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 amended 49 U.S.C. 60116 to require pipeline operators to evaluate and update their existing public education programs and to submit the updated programs to PHMSA or the State pipeline safety agency that regulates the intrastate pipelines in the State. PHMSA issued a final rule on May 19, 2005 (70 FR 28833) delineating VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:25 Jun 15, 2006 Jkt 208001 what the updated programs, now called public awareness programs, must contain. You can find the final rule in the pipeline safety code at 49 CFR 192.616 and 49 CFR 195.440. The final rule requires most operators to develop public awareness programs by June 20, 2006 and to submit the programs for review upon request. There is an extended compliance time for certain very small petroleum gas and master meter operators. An operator distributing petroleum gas to fewer than 25 customers or distributing gas through a master meter to fewer than 25 customers has until June 20, 2007 to prepare a program. In addition, PHMSA is reconsidering the public awareness requirements applicable to all master meter operators and operators distributing petroleum gas by pipeline as a secondary business. We intend to initiate rulemaking in the near future to extend the date for compliance and provide alternative public awareness programs for these master meter and petroleum gas operators. This advisory bulletin provides guidance to operators of pipelines (other than operators distributing gas through master meters or distributing petroleum gas by pipeline as an incidental part of business) about submitting public awareness programs for initial review. PHMSA has decided to have a team review written public awareness programs of interstate operators centrally instead of through the pipeline safety inspection staff located in its five regions. PHMSA has offered, and most State agencies have elected, to have this team review public awareness programs of intrastate operators. The work of the Public Awareness Program Clearinghouse review team is guided by review criteria developed by pipeline safety staff from PHMSA and State pipeline safety agencies. The review team will compare programs with American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 1162 (RP 1162), PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 on which the public awareness regulation is based. If the review team finds deviation from the baseline elements, the review team will refer the issue to the applicable PHMSA regional office or State pipeline safety agency. In addition to the baseline elements, RP 1162 contains supplemental program elements to enhance pipeline safety awareness in areas where operators determine increased risk. The review team will document operator use of supplemental elements to identify trends and foster improvements. There are exceptions to the centralized review process. The State pipeline safety agencies in Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Montana, South Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming have decided to conduct independent reviews of the public awareness programs of at least some intrastate operators. Unless otherwise directed by the State pipeline safety agency, an operator described below submits its program to the address provided by October 8, 2006: A gas distribution operator in Connecticut: Mr. Philip Sher, Supervisor of Technical Analysis, Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control, 10 Franklin Square, New Britain, CT 06051. A gas distribution pipeline operator in the District of Columbia: Ms. Delvone Nicholson-Meade, Program Manager, Pipeline Safety, District of Columbia Public Service Commission, 1333 H Street, NW., Suite 700 East Tower, Washington, DC 20005. A gas distribution pipeline operator serving less than 20,000 customers in Illinois: Mr. Rex Evans, Manager, Pipeline Safety, Illinois Commerce Commission, 527 E Capitol Avenue, Springfield, IL 62701. An intrastate pipeline operator in Maryland: Mr. John Clementson, Assistant Chief Engineer, Maryland Public Service Commission, 6 Saint Paul Street, Baltimore, MD 21202–6806.
