Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 81 / Monday, April 28, 2014 / Notices
report) to resolve conflicts and improve
the granularity of the data collected.
Background for these topics is as
follows:
Specify Commodity:
We have added a section for operators
to specify the commodity type
transported, similar to the gas
transmission and hazardous liquid
reporting forms. These commodity
groups are: ‘‘Natural Gas,’’ ‘‘Synthetic
Gas,’’ ‘‘Hydrogen Gas,’’ ‘‘Propane Gas,’’
‘‘Landfill Gas,’’ and ‘‘Other Gas.’’
Operators will select a commodity
group based on the predominant gas
carried and complete the report for that
commodity group. If ‘‘Other Gas’’ is
selected, operators will need to provide
the name of the other gas. Operators will
need to file a separate report for each
commodity group transported.
Specify Operator Type:
We have added a section to the report
for submitters to identify the operator
type. The operator type groups include
‘‘Investor Owned’’; ‘‘Municipally
Owned,’’ ‘‘Privately Owned,’’;
’’Cooperative,’’ and ‘‘Other Ownership’’.
If ‘‘Other Ownership’’ is selected,
operators will need to describe the
ownership type.
Additional Material Type: We are
adding ‘‘Reconditioned Cast Iron’’ as a
pipe material and defining it as a cast
iron gas distribution pipe that has been
lined internally by use of suitable
materials that ensure safe operation at a
maximum allowable operating pressure
(MAOP) not to exceed the previously
established MAOP. ‘‘Reconditioned Cast
Iron’’ does not include cast iron pipe
inserted with a gas pipe that is, by itself,
suitable for gas service under Part 192,
(e.g., an ASTM D2513 pipe meeting
code requirements for the intended gas
service.) Such insertions are to be
reported as the material used in the
insertion. The definition is intended to
make a clear distinction between a liner
and inserted pipe. Reconditioning
techniques would not include new,
stand-alone polyethylene pipe,
composite pipe, or a tight fitting liner
that does not rely on the structural
integrity of the host pipe (the cavity of
the host pipe is simply used for
installation purposes). Other methods,
such as pipe splitting or bursting that
involve the installation of a new standalone pipe while the host pipe is
destroyed do not result in
‘‘Reconditioned Cast Iron’’.
Removal of Requirement to Populate
Certain Fields in Part B Tables:
We have streamlined the report by
removing the requirement to populate
certain fields in Tables B1, B2, and B3
as that data will now be calculated
automatically and populated
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
appropriately from certain other fields
in the tables.
Revision of Leak Cause Categories in
Part C:
To improve efficiency and
consistency, we have revised the ‘‘Cause
of Leak’’ categories in Part C to align
with the leak causes in the gas
distribution annual report with the
incident causes from the gas
distribution incident reporting form
(PHMSA F 7100.1, Incident Report—Gas
Distribution System).
Addition of Excavation Damage
Cause Categories in Part D:
We added a new data collection in
‘‘Excavation Damage’’ to include the
four causes from Part I of the ‘‘Damage
Information Reporting Tool (DIRT)—
Field Form.’’ These cause categories are
also aligned with the fields that must be
completed in Part G4, field number 14
in the gas distribution incident
reporting form.

exported and returned to the original

authorized by that manufacturer. The
form is used by TTB to ensure
compliance with laws and regulations at
the time of these transactions and for
post audit examinations.

Title: Usual and Customary Business

REC 5130/1).
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 requires brewers to keep
records, in such form and containing
such information as prescribed by
regulation and as necessary for
protection of the revenue. The TTB
regulations set forth the records that
brewers must keep regarding their
operations. TTB audits brewers’ records
to verify production of beer and cereal
beverage and to verify the quantity of
beer removed subject to tax and
removed without payment of tax. TTB
believes that these records would be
normally kept in the course of doing
business.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1.
OMB Number: 1513–0110.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Recordkeeping for Tobacco
Products Removed in Bond from a
Manufacturer’s Premises for
Experimental Purposes—27 CFR
40.232(e).
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
provides that manufacturers of tobacco
products may remove tobacco products
without payment of Federal excise tax
for experimental purposes, in such
quantities and in such manner as
prescribed by regulation. The TTB
regulations set forth the standards for
such removals and the prescribed
records are used by TTB to ensure that
the products meet the standards for
experimental purposes and that the
removals are in compliance with the
IRC and TTB regulations.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1.
OMB Number: 1513–0132.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:06 Apr 25, 2014
Jkt 232001
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 10.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes Per Response: 60.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
10,000.
