Abstract: All individuals responsible
for the operation and maintenance of
pipeline facilities are required to be
properly qualified to safely perform
their tasks. Section 192.807 of Title 49,
Code of Federal Regulations, requires
each operator to maintain records that
demonstrate compliance with the
mandated qualification criteria. Records
must be kept to be provided upon
request.

OMB Control Number: 2137–0618.
Current Expiration Date: 8/31/2018.
Type of Request: Renewal with no

Abstract: The Federal pipeline safety
regulations at 49 CFR 192.612 and
195.413 require operators to conduct
appropriate periodic underwater
inspections in the Gulf of Mexico and
its inlets. If an operator discovers that
its underwater pipeline is exposed or
poses a hazard to navigation, among
other remedial actions such as marking
and reburial in some cases, the operator
must contact the National Response
Center by telephone within 24 hours of
discovery and report the location of the
exposed pipeline. PHMSA’s regulations
for reporting the abandonment of
underwater pipelines can be found at 49
CFR 192.727 and 195.59. These
provisions contain certain requirements
for disconnecting and purging
abandoned pipelines and require
operators to notify PHMSA of each
abandoned offshore pipeline facility or
each abandoned onshore pipeline
facility that crosses over, under or
through a commercially navigable
waterway.
Affected Public: Operators of pipeline
facilities (except master meter
operators).
Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping

Estimated number of responses: 92.
Estimated annual burden hours:

agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques.
