mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collections of information:
Title: Insurer Reporting Requirement
for 49 CFR Part 544.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0547.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from approval
date.
Abstract: This information collection
supports the Department’s strategic goal
of Economic Growth and Trade. The
Motor Vehicle Theft Law Enforcement
Act of 1984, added Title VI to the Motor
Vehicle and Information Cost Savings
Act (recodified as Chapter 331 of Title
49, United States Code) which
mandated this information collection.
The 1984 Theft Act was amended by the
Anti Car Theft Act (ACTA) of 1992 (Pub.
L. 102–519). NHTSA is authorized
under 49 U.S.C. 33112, to collect this
information. This information collection
supports the agency’s economic growth
and trade goal through rulemaking
implementation developed to help
reduce the cost of vehicle ownership by
reducing the cost of comprehensive
insurance coverage. 49 U.S.C. 33112
requires certain passenger motor vehicle
insurance companies and rental/leasing
companies to provide information to
NHTSA on comprehensive insurance
premiums, theft and recoveries and
actions taken to address motor vehicle
theft.
Estimated Annual Burden: Based on
prior years’ insurer compilation
information, the agency estimates that
the time to review and compile
information for the reports will take
approximately a total of 63,238 burden
hours (60,004 man-hours for 28
insurance companies and 3,234 manhours for 7 rental and leasing
companies). Claim Adjusters incur
separate burden hours from the number
of insurers. There is one Claim Adjuster
assigned to each insurer. There was a
decrease in several rental and leasing
companies that have merged into one
entity or have been exempted from the
reporting requirements since the last
reporting period. The agency has reestimated the burden hours to be 63,238
total annual hours requested in lieu of
64,610 as the current OMB inventory.
This is a decrease of 1,376 hours. Most
recent year insurer compilation
information estimates reveal that it takes
an average cost of $65.00 per hour for
clerical and technical staff to prepare
the annual reports. Therefore, the
agency estimates the total cost
associated with the burden hours is
$4,110,470.
The burden hour for rental and
leasing companies is significantly less
than that for insurance companies
because rental and leasing companies
comply with fewer reporting
requirements than the insurance
companies. The reporting burden is
based on insurers’ salaries, clerical and
technical expenses, and labor costs.
Number of Respondents: 35.
Comments are invited on: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Issued on: September 19, 2008.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.

Pipeline Safety: Workshop on Anomaly
Assessment and Repair
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Workshop.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Recent observations by
PHMSA indicate possible
inconsistencies in how natural gas
transmission pipeline operators assess
and repair anomalies, such as corrosion
defects, and apply the results of
calculations to their decision making for
further action. Special permits granted
by PHMSA over the past two years
prescribe specific assessment and repair
procedures for pipelines operating
under a class location change and
maximum allowable operating pressure
special permit. Moreover, recent
research indicating that existing
methods of predicting the remaining
strength of corroded pipe could provide
non-conservative results (i.e., the pipe
will fail at a pressure lower than that
predicted) in some circumstances. Nonconservative results could be obtained
even when the dimensions of pipeline
anomalies are known with precision.
PHMSA is sponsoring a Workshop on
Assessment and Repair of Anomalies in
Pipelines to allow stakeholders of the
pipeline safety community to learn
about and discuss these research results,
current evaluation practices, and
methods to assure pipeline safety. The
discussion of current evaluation
practices and methods to assure
pipeline safety should include: A
review of safety factors used to evaluate
anomalies when assessing in-line tool
and excavation results, review of how
outside forces and overpressure may
effect anomaly stresses, how ILI tool
accuracy is applied to anomaly

evaluation, and how anomaly growth
rates in assessments are considered.
DATES: The workshop will be held on
October 22, 2008. Name badge pick-up

meetings/Mtg55.mtg. Please note that
the workshop will not be Webcast.
However, presentations will be available

following the workshop.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held
at the Gaylord National Resort and
Convention Center, 201 Waterfront
Street, National Harbor, MD 20745.
Hotel reservations under the ‘‘United
States Department of Transportation #2’’

Issue Description: The current
regulations contained in 49 CFR 192.485
and 192.713, allows latitude in methods
used for assessing and remediating pipe
with corrosion anomalies to restore the
serviceability of pipe. PHMSA has
found a wide variation in operators’
interpretation of how to meet the
requirements of pipeline safety
regulations in assessing, evaluating, and
remediating corrosion anomalies.
PHMSA emphasizes that, while the
workshop will involve issues related to
Part 192, the technical discussions on
research and methods are of relevance
to hazardous liquid pipeline operators.
For this reason, PHMSA also encourages
hazardous liquid pipeline operators to
attend the meeting.
Transmission pipelines often operate
at high pressures. Pipeline design
requirements assure that pipe has
