SUMMARY:
Background
Federal regulations for both gas and
hazardous liquid pipelines require
operators to have written procedures for
responding to emergencies involving
their pipeline facility. Because pipelines
are often located in public space, the
regulations further require that
operators include procedures for
planning with emergency and other
public officials to ensure a coordinated
response. Under 49 CFR 192.605,
192.615, and 195.402, operators must
include in their emergency plans
provisions for coordinating with
appropriate fire, police, and other

public officials both preplanned drills
and actual responses to pipeline
emergencies. Operators must also
establish and maintain liaison with the
emergency officials to, among other
things, acquaint the officials and the
operator with their respective
responsibilities and resources in
planning for and responding to
emergencies.
Under §§ 192.616 and 195.440,
operators must also develop and
implement a written continuing public
education program that follows the
American Petroleum Institute’s (API)
Recommended Practice (RP) 1162.
Incorporated by reference, API RP 1162
further requires operators to develop
their emergency response plans with
appropriate emergency officials to
include in such plans information about
how emergency officials can access the
operator’s emergency response plan,
and to conduct emergency response
drills.
To: Owners and Operators of
Hazardous Liquid and Gas Pipeline
Systems.
Subject: Emergency Preparedness
Communications.
Advisory: To further enhance the
Department’s safety efforts, PHMSA is
issuing this Advisory Bulletin about
emergency preparedness
communications between pipeline
operators and emergency responders.
To ensure a prompt, effective, and
coordinated response to any type of
emergency involving a pipeline facility,
pipeline operators are required to
maintain an informed relationship with
emergency responders in their
jurisdiction.
PHMSA reminds pipeline operators of
these requirements, and in particular,
the need to share the operator’s
emergency response plans with
emergency responders. PHMSA
recommends that operators provide
such information to responders through
the operator’s liaison and public
awareness activities, including during
joint emergency response drills. PHMSA
intends to evaluate the extent to which
operators have provided local
emergency responders with their
emergency plans when PHMSA
performs future inspections for
compliance with relevant requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Fiscal Service
Fee Schedule for the Transfer of U.S.
Treasury Book-Entry Securities Held
on the National Book-Entry System
Authority: 31 CFR 357.45.
Bureau of the Public Debt,
Fiscal Service, Treasury.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) is announcing a
new fee schedule applicable to transfers
of U.S. Treasury book-entry securities
maintained on the National Book-Entry
System (NBES) that occur on or after
January 3, 2011.
DATES: Effective Date: January 3, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kevin Hawkins or Kristina Yeh, Bureau
of the Public Debt, Department of the
Treasury at (202) 504–3550.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Treasury
has established a fee structure for the
transfer of Treasury book-entry
securities maintained on NBES.
Treasury reassesses this fee structure
periodically, based on our review of the
latest book-entry costs and volumes.
For each Treasury securities transfer
or reversal sent or received on or after
January 3, 2011, the basic fee will
increase from $0.31 to $0.38. The
Federal Reserve will also increase its fee
for Federal Reserve funds movement
from $0.06 to $0.07. This will result in
a combined fee of $0.45 for each transfer
of Treasury book-entry securities. The
surcharge for an off-line Treasury bookentry securities transfer will remain
$33.00. The basic transfer fee assessed
to both sends and receives is reflective
of costs associated with the processing
of securities transfers. The off-line
surcharge reflects the additional
processing costs associated with the
manual processing of off-line securities
transfers.
Treasury does not charge a fee for
account maintenance, the stripping and
reconstitution of Treasury securities, the
wires associated with original issues, or
interest and redemption payments.
Treasury currently absorbs these costs.
The fees described in this notice
apply only to the transfer of Treasury
book-entry securities held on NBES.
Information concerning fees for bookentry transfers of Government Agency
securities, which are priced by the
Federal Reserve System, is set out in a
separate Federal Register notice
published by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System.
The following is the Treasury fee
schedule that will take effect on January
