Action
Notice and request for comments.
Summary
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the RSPA Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on July 26, 2002, announcing RSPA's/OPS's intention to collect pipeline characteristics information via a hazardous liquid pipeline operator annual report form. RSPA/OPS received comments on the proposed form and changed the form accordingly. RSPA/OPS discussed the changes with the Technical Hazardous Liquids Pipeline Safety Standards Committee (THLPSSC) on March 25, 2003. RSPA/OPS has posted the proposed form in the docket so that the THLPSSC can review it. RSPA/OPS will hold a public meeting (see docket RSPA-97-2426) on May 28, 2003, to discuss potential improvements to the current standard for data submission to the National Pipeline Mapping System. The meeting will include a discussion about whether, at a future date, some information sought by the proposed hazardous liquid annual report form may alternatively be obtained through the National Pipeline Mapping System.
