Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 184 / Friday, September 21, 2012 / Notices
C7. Response: PHMSA removed
‘‘paid/reimbursed by the Operator’’ from
the form in response to questions from
operators about whether they should
report total property damage or just the
dollar amount paid for by the operator.
PHMSA expects operators to report total
property damage, regardless of whether
the operator paid for the damage. In
cases where the operator has not paid
for the damage, the dollar amount must
be estimated. PHMSA will remove
‘‘paid/reimbursed by the Operator’’ from
the form.
C8: PHMSA proposed revisions in
Part C of the report to collect more
information for incidents involving girth
welds. API and AOPL suggest that
PHMSA restructure the form so that all
the data will be collected in a data field
within Part C, rather than in the
narrative where it is unavailable for
public examination and proper analysis.
C8. Response: The revision proposed
by the commenters would require
extensive modifications to the form and
to the methods of data analysis. PHMSA
will consider this suggestion during the
next review of the form which is
scheduled to take place in 2013.
C9: API and AOPL commented that
PHMSA should ensure that all proposed
changes are reflected in the instructions.
C9. Response: PHMSA has revised the
instructions to reflect the proposed
revisions.
C10: Part A of the hazardous liquid
accident report allows for the reporting
of ‘‘Key Report Information.’’ PHMSA
did not propose any changes to this
Part. API and AOPL suggested that Part
A, Question 10 be revised from
‘‘Estimated volume of intentional and/or
controlled release/blowdown’’ to
‘‘Estimated volume of intentional and/or
controlled release/blowdown (HVL/CO2
releases only).’’ API and AOPL specified
that adoption of the proposed
modification would be consistent with
the original objective of the question —
to differentiate information on HVL/
CO2 releases where product is vented or
flared under the operator’s control to
facilitate repair following a release, as
opposed to what was released
unintentionally during the release
event. API and AOPL further suggested
that this revision be detailed in the
instructions as well.
C10. Response: PHMSA agrees with
the comment from API and AOPL and
has revised the form and instructions as
suggested.
D. General Comments
D1: AGA commented that PHMSA
should involve industry more in the
deliberation process for implementing
changes to the forms.
