SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 3, 2012, President Obama
signed into law the Pipeline Safety,
Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation
Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112–90). Section 9
of the Act requires PHMSA to require a
specific time limit for telephonic or
electronic reporting of pipeline
accidents and incidents. Specifically,
Section 9 of the Act states:
SEC. 9. ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT
NOTIFICATION.
(a) REVISION OF REGULATIONS.—
Not later than 18 months after the date
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary
of Transportation shall revise
regulations issued under sections 191.5
and 195.52 of title 49, Code of Federal
Regulations, to establish specific time
limits for telephonic or electronic notice
of accidents and incidents involving
pipeline facilities to the Secretary and
the National Response Center.
(b) MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.—In
revising the regulations, the Secretary,
at a minimum, shall—
(1) Establish time limits for telephonic
or electronic notification of an accident
or incident to require such notification
at the earliest practicable moment
following confirmed discovery of an
accident or incident and not later than
1 hour following the time of such
confirmed discovery;
(2) Review procedures for owners and
operators of pipeline facilities and the
National Response Center to provide
thorough and coordinated notification
to all relevant State and local emergency
response officials, including 911
emergency call centers, for the
jurisdictions in which those pipeline
facilities are located in the event of an
accident or incident, and revise such
procedures as appropriate; and
(3) Require such owners and operators
to revise their initial telephonic or
electronic notice to the Secretary and
the National Response Center with an
estimate of the amount of the product
released, an estimate of the number of
fatalities and injuries, if any, and any
other information determined
appropriate by the Secretary within 48
hours of the accident or incident, to the
extent practicable.
(c) UPDATING OF REPORTS.—After
receiving revisions described in
PO 00000
Frm 00114
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
subsection (b)(3), the National Response
Center shall update the initial report on
an accident or incident instead of
generating a new report.
Currently, PHMSA requires pipeline
owners and operators to notify the NRC
by telephone or electronically at the
earliest practicable moment following
discovery (§§ 191.5 and 195.52). In a
September 6, 2002, (67 FR 57060)
advisory bulletin, PHMSA advised
owners and operators of gas and
hazardous liquids pipeline systems and
LNG facilities that, ‘‘at the earliest
practicable opportunity,’’ usually means
one-to-two hours after discovery of the
incident.
Advisory Bulletin (ADB–2013–01)
To: Owners and Operators of Gas and
Hazardous Liquids Pipeline Systems
and LNG Facilities
Subject: Telephonic Notification Time
Limit to NRC.
Purpose: To advise owners and
operators of gas and hazardous liquids
pipeline systems and LNG facilities that
they should contact the NRC within one
hour of discovery of a pipeline incident
and should also file additional
telephonic reports if there are
significant changes in the number of
fatalities or injuries, product release
estimates or the extent of damages.
Advisory: Owners and operators of gas
and hazardous liquid pipelines and
LNG facilities are reminded that the
pipeline safety regulations already
require operators to make a telephonic
report of an incident to the NRC in
Washington, DC at the earliest
practicable opportunity (usually one-totwo hours after discovering the
incident). However, under Section
9(b)(1) of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory
Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011,
PHMSA is required to issue regulations
requiring owners and operators to notify
the NRC within one hour of discovery
of a pipeline accident or incident. The
2011 Act requires PHMSA to establish
a time limit for telephonic or electronic
notification of an accident or incident to
require such notification at the earliest
practicable moment following
confirmed discovery of an accident or
incident that is not later than one hour
following the time of such confirmed
discovery. PHMSA will issue a
proposed rule at a later date, but
encourages owners and operators of the
gas and hazardous liquids pipeline
systems and LNG facilities, as a
practice, to report such accidents and
incidents within one hour of confirmed
discovery. The information required to
be reported includes the name of the
operator, the name and telephone
number of the person making the report,

cause of the incident or extent of the
damages.

Currently, PHMSA requires pipeline owners and operators to notify
the NRC by telephone or electronically at the earliest practicable
moment following discovery (Sec. Sec. 191.5 and 195.52). In a
September 6, 2002, (67 FR 57060) advisory bulletin, PHMSA advised
owners and operators of gas and hazardous liquids pipeline systems and
LNG facilities that, ``at the earliest practicable opportunity,''
usually means one-to-two hours after discovery of the incident.
Advisory Bulletin (ADB-2013-01)
To: Owners and Operators of Gas and Hazardous Liquids Pipeline
Systems and LNG Facilities
Subject: Telephonic Notification Time Limit to NRC.
Purpose: To advise owners and operators of gas and hazardous
liquids pipeline systems and LNG facilities that they should contact
the NRC within one hour of discovery of a pipeline incident and should
also file additional telephonic reports if there are significant
changes in the number of fatalities or injuries, product release
estimates or the extent of damages.
Advisory: Owners and operators of gas and hazardous liquid
pipelines and LNG facilities are reminded that the pipeline safety
regulations already require operators to make a telephonic report of an
incident to the NRC in Washington, DC at the earliest practicable
opportunity (usually one-to-two hours after discovering the incident).
However, under Section 9(b)(1) of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory
Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011, PHMSA is required to issue
regulations requiring owners and operators to notify the NRC within one
hour of discovery of a pipeline accident or incident. The 2011 Act
requires PHMSA to establish a time limit for telephonic or electronic
notification of an accident or incident to require such notification at
the earliest practicable moment following confirmed discovery of an
accident or incident that is not later than one hour following the time
of such confirmed discovery. PHMSA will issue a proposed rule at a
later date, but encourages owners and operators of the gas and
hazardous liquids pipeline systems and LNG facilities, as a practice,
to report such accidents and incidents within one hour of confirmed
discovery. The information required to be reported includes the name of
the operator, the name and telephone number of the person making the
report,
