The areas of degradation are not
always consistent in their
characteristics. The degradation may not
occur along the complete pipe length,
but rather may start and stop within a
relatively short section of pipe and then
reoccur in another area further down the
segment. In addition, the operator and
manufacturer have observed instances
of degradation on only one side of the
pipe with the other side having no
indication of degradation.
The root cause of the degradation has
not been determined. All reported cases
have occurred in the southwestern
United States where average ambient
temperatures are very high, but this may
or may not be a contributing factor. The
manufacturer does not have evidence
that the degraded pipe condition
developed from or as a result of the
manufacturing process. The
manufacturer does not believe the issue
to be associated with a particular resin
lot. While a review of records has
identified some changes in the resin
formulation during the time period, the
manufacturer does not believe that these
changes contributed to the issue. The
reporting operators have not identified
any other construction or installation
practices or conditions that are common
to the known occurrences of degraded
pipe.
PHMSA has asked the manufacturer
to describe the problem and its extent
and has requested information related to
manufacturing, construction practices,
and testing recommendations. Those
questions and responses, along with
pictures of degraded pipe, are available
on the docket associated with this
advisory.
The manufacturer is communicating
with known customers, regulators, and
industry groups as new information
becomes available and the operators
with known cases of degraded pipe
continue to communicate with the
appropriate regulatory authorities.
II. Advisory Bulletin (ADB–2012–03)
To: Operators using Driscopipe® 8000
High Density Polyethylene Pipe.
Subject: Potential for Material
Degradation of Driscopipe® 8000.
Advisory: PHMSA advises all
operators using Driscopipe® 8000 of the
potential for material degradation.
PHMSA encourages operators to
communicate and work with the
manufacturer and their respective
regulatory authorities to consider and
implement any actions that are needed
to address the issue as it relates to their
systems.
Operators using Drisco8000 pipe who
have not already received
communications from the manufacturer
VerDate Mar<15>2010

are encouraged to contact the
manufacturer so they can receive future
updates and determine whether their
systems are susceptible to degradation.
For additional information, contact
Karen S. Lively, P.E, Technical
Manager, Performance Pipe, a division
of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company
LP, by phone at 972–599–7413 or email
at livelks@cpchem.com. Operators using
Drisco8000 pipe are encouraged to
inform the relevant regulatory authority
and work together to determine what, if
any, actions are needed to monitor and
address the issue within their systems.
Due to the uncertainty of the root
cause of the material degradation,
PHMSA cannot provide specific
guidance on how best to address the
issue. However, PHMSA urges all
operators using Drisco8000 pipe to
consider the use of accelerated and
more frequent leak surveys in those
areas where degraded pipe is known or
suspected to exist.
All operators using Drisco8000 pipe
are encouraged to work with all
stakeholders to determine how to
address discovery and repair within
their systems, taking the most
conservative approach and keeping
pipeline integrity and public safety a
priority.

Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of determination of
necessity for renewal of the Art
Advisory Panel.
AGENCY:
It is in the public interest to
continue the existence of the Art
Advisory Panel. The current charter of
the Art Advisory panel will be renewed
for a period of two years.

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. (2000),
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
announces the renewal of the following
advisory committee:
Title. The Art Advisory Panel of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Purpose. The Panel assists the
Internal Revenue Service by reviewing
and evaluating the acceptability of
property appraisals submitted by
taxpayers in support of the fair market
value claimed on works of art involved
in Federal Income, Estate or Gift taxes
in accordance with sections 170, 2031,
and 2512 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986.
In order for the Panel to perform this
function, Panel records and discussions
must include tax return information.
Therefore, the Panel meetings will be
closed to the public since all portions of
the meetings will concern matters that
are exempted from disclosure under the
provisions of section 552b(c)(3), (4), (6)
and (7) of Title 5 of the U.S. Code. This
determination, which is in accordance
with section 10(d) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, is necessary to
protect the confidentiality of tax returns
and return information as required by
section 6103 of the Internal Revenue
code.
Statement of Public Interest. It is in
the public interest to continue the
existence of the Art Advisory Panel. The
Secretary of Treasury, with the
concurrence of the General Services
Administration, has also approved
renewal of the Panel. The membership
of the Panel is balanced between
museum directors and curators, art
dealers and auction representatives to
afford differing points of view in
determining fair market value.
Authority for this Panel will expire
two years from the date the Charter is
approved by the Assistant Secretary for
Management and Chief Financial Officer
and filed with the appropriate
congressional committees unless, prior
to the expiration of its Charter, the Panel
is renewed.
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has determined that this
document is not a major rule as defined
in Executive Order 12291 and that a
regulatory impact analysis therefore is
not required. Neither does this
document constitute a rule subject to
