AGENCY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request abstracted below is being forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comments. A Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection was published on April 23, 2013, (78 FR 23972). PHMSA received one comment in response to that notice. PHMSA is publishing this notice to respond to the comment, provide the public with an additional 30 days to comment on the proposed revisions to the forms and the instructions, and announce that the revised information collection will be submitted to OMB for approval. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before October 11, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, requires PHMSA to provide interested members of the public and affected agencies an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping requests. This notice identifies a revised information collection request that PHMSA will be submitting to OMB for approval. The information collected from hazardous liquid operators is an important tool for identifying safety trends in the hazardous liquid pipeline industry. In a Federal Register Notice on April 23, 2013, with a 60-day comment period, PHMSA published its proposed changes to the hazardous liquid operators’ accident report and its proposal to include the incorporation by reference of American Petroleum Institute (API) API 1130 (the industry standard on leak detection) which provides information collection and maintenance guidance on many factors such as measurement capabilities, communications reliability, pipeline operating condition, and product type. During this response period, PHMSA received one joint comment from API and the Association of Oil Pipelines (AOPL). This 30-day notice responds to the comments, which may be found at https://www.regulations.gov, at docket number PHMSA–2013–0061. The following is a summary of the joint comments to PHMSA regarding the proposed changes to Form PHMSA F 7000–1 ACCIDENT REPORT— HAZARDOUS LIQUID PIPELINE SYSTEMS. A. Instructions for Volume Spilled (Part A9) and Volume Recovered (Part A11) Comment: API/AOPL opposes PHMSA’s proposal to include all product exiting the pipeline system in both the Volume Spilled and Volume Recovered categories. API/AOPL requests that volume exiting a system during a controlled event not be reported. PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 55775 PHMSA Response: PHMSA does not consider any product exiting the system at the failure location to be done in a controlled manner. We are proposing to revise the instructions to exempt product removed from the system at locations remote from the failure site from both the Volume Spilled and Volume Recovered categories. However, we continue to propose that all product exiting the system at the failure site, regardless of the degree of control attainable by the operator, be reported in both Volume Spilled and Volume Recovered. Limiting the Volume Spilled to product exiting the system at the failure site provides the most accurate characterization of the consequences of the accident. The difference between Volume Spilled and Volume Recovered provides the most accurate characterization of the environmental consequences of the accident. This change does not penalize operators for withdrawing product in a controlled manner at locations remote from the failure site and provides incentive to move product away from the failure site whenever possible. Comment: API/AOPL recommends ‘‘facility’’ be replaced with ‘‘system’’ in the instructions for Volume Spilled and Volume Recovered. PHMSA Response: PHMSA has implemented this recommendation. B. Instructions for Time Sequence (Part A18) Comment: API/AOPL opposes the proposed change to the instructions regarding the use of the phrase ‘‘when the operator became aware of the accident’’ to describe the earliest date and time an operator identifies a pipeline failure. API/AOPL states that ‘‘awareness of the accident’’ is open to wide interpretation and suggests that ‘‘awareness’’ be replaced with ‘‘discovery’’, which is used in other PHMSA regulations. API/AOPL notes that PHMSA’s regulations for safetyrelated conditions characterize ‘‘discovery’’ as ‘‘when an operator’s representative has adequate information from which to conclude the probable existence.’’ PHMSA Response: We do not agree that the proposal to use ‘‘adequate’’ and ‘‘probable’’ in the definition of ‘‘discovery’’ provides additional clarity. Part A18 of the form simply requires the operator to report the earliest date/time the operator identified the failure and the date/time the operator arrived on site. If PHMSA were to implement API/ AOPL’s recommendation, these date/ times would be identical and PHMSA would gain no knowledge of operator response time. E:\FR\FM\11SEN1.SGM 11SEN1
