clearance of this information collection.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Barbara Hall at (940) 594–5913, or by
email at: Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120–0705.
Title: Hazardous Materials Training
Requirements.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA
forms associated with this collection of
information.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The FAA, as prescribed
in 14 CFR parts 121 and 135, requires
certificate holders to submit manuals
and hazardous materials (hazmat)
training programs, or revisions to an
approved hazmat training program to
obtain initial and final approval as part
of the FAA certification process.
Original certification is completed in
accordance with 14 CFR part 119.
Continuing certification is completed in
accordance with 14 CFR parts 121 and
135. The FAA uses the approval process
to determine compliance of the hazmat
training programs with the applicable
regulations, national policies and safe
operating practices. The FAA must
ensure that the documents adequately
establish safe operating procedures.
Additionally, 14 CFR part 145 requires
certain repair stations to provide
documentation showing that persons
handling hazmat for transportation have
been trained following DOT guidelines.
Respondents: Part 121, 135, and 145
certificate holders. Approximately
2,800.
Information is collected on occasion.
Part 121 and part 135 operators are
required to submit documentation of
their hazardous materials training to
receive original certification. If the
operator decides to make a change to
their training program, they must
provide the updated manual. Part 145
repair station is required to submit a
statement to the FAA certifying that all
of their hazmat employees are trained
under the Hazardous Materials
Regulations prior to receiving their
initial part 145 certificate.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The amount of time per
response is expected to vary. For
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
example, new responses take
significantly longer than revisions.
Furthermore, operators with will-carry
hazardous materials operations are
anticipated to have longer responses
than will-not carry hazardous materials
operations. Part 145 repair stations will
require less time to develop a
certification statements than operators
require to develop a manual.
Additionally certificate holders vary in
the type and size of the operations.
Certificate holders are not anticipated to
spend the same amount of time each
year. Therefore, based on FAA’s subject
matter expertise we continue to expect
reporting to take an average .6 hours,
and recordkeeping to take .7 hours for
a total of 1.3 hours per response. These
are an annualized average which
account for the wide variability in the
type, complexity and size of operation.
Additionally, the type of update can
vary. Operators may make minor
revisions to the manual, or they may
choose to make more significant
changes reflecting a larger change in
their operations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
7,300 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December
10, 2018.

ADDRESSES:
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. In accordance
with this regulation, on November 26,
2018, (83 FR 60557) PHMSA published
a Federal Register notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on
the information collection. In response,
PHMSA received comments from the
Pipeline Safety Trust and Vectren
Corporation. The Pipeline Safety Trust
requests that PHMSA add additional
reporting requirements to this
information collection to improve
PHMSA’s oversight of state grants and
to fill agency-identified data gaps.
Vectren Corporation supports the
information collection, but notes that it
could be improved by more detailed
reporting instructions and more
specific, consistent definitions for data
and reporting.
The data obtained from this
information collection reflects State
Program activities that measure program
performance and how grant funds are
being used. Separate efforts are
currently underway to address the
feasibility study of a Nationwide
Integrated Pipeline Safety Regulatory
Database and all options are being
considered to help with this process.
PHMSA also streamlined data fields in
both the Natural Gas and Hazardous
Liquid Base Grant Progress Reports to
make the forms easier to read and
follow.
A summary of changes is below:
• Gas LNG operator categories listed
together instead of separately.
• Hazardous liquid operator
categories renamed to be consistent with
Pipeline DataMart.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

• Incident/Accident cause listing
updated to match annual reports and
Pipeline DataMart.
• Updated maximum civil penalties
to current DOT level.
The burden for this information
collected has also been updated to
account for a more accurate number of
submissions received annually. PHMSA
previously expected to receive 116
responses to this information collection
request. PHMSA has since updated that
estimate to 66 responses (51 gas
programs and 15 hazardous liquid
programs). The estimated time burden
for completing the annual submission is
58.5 hours. PHMSA will submit the
information collection, as described
below, to OMB for approval.
The following information is provided
for this information collection: (1) Title
of the information collection; (2) OMB
control number; (3) Current expiration
date; (4) Type of request; (5) Abstract of
the information collection activity; (6)
Description of affected public; (7)
Estimate of total annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden; and (8)

PHMSA will request a three-year term
of approval for the following
information collection:
Title: Gas Pipeline Safety Program
Certification and Hazardous Liquid
Pipeline Safety Program Certification.
OMB Control Number: 2137–0584.
Current Expiration Date: 02/28/2019.
Abstract: A state must submit an
annual certification to assume
responsibility for regulating intrastate
pipelines. Certain records must be
maintained to demonstrate that the state
is ensuring satisfactory compliance with
the pipeline safety regulations. PHMSA
uses this information to evaluate a
state’s eligibility to receive federal
grants.
Affected Public: State governments.

information, including whether the
information will have practical utility in
helping the agency to achieve its
pipeline safety goals;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
