Pipeline Safety: Information Collection Activities, Excess Flow Valve Census

Notice and request for comments.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, PHMSA invites comments on a new one-time Information Collection (IC) on Excess Flow Valves (EFVs). PHMSA will request approval for this new information collection from the Office and Management and Budget (OMB). The collection involves a census of gas operators to gather data on operators' experiences, practices, benefits, and costs associated with the use of EFVs. This data is necessary to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of requiring an expansion in the use of EFVs.
