This Notice proposes to revise the existing gas pipeline leak re- porting forms: Form DOT-F-7100.1-1, Annual Report-Distribution System (§ 191.11); Form DOT-F-7100.2-1, Annual Report-Transmission and Gathering Systems (§ 191.17); Form DOT-F-7100.1, Leak Report-Distribution System (Sec. 191.9); and Form DOT-F-7100.2, Leak Report-Trans- mission and Gathering Systems (§ 191.15). The revised forms would facilitate data processing, provide more appropriate data or data needed to administer new or amended statutes, and be easier to understand. In addition, the scope of Part 191 would be revised to (1) clarify and define the applicability of Part 191 to offshore pipelines and (2) revoke the present exception for gathering lines in rural areas. Also, the present exception for small petroleum gas systems from the annual reporting requirements of § 191.11 applicable to distribution systems would be revoked. At the same time, under the proposed new annual report for distribution systems, the information re- quested for systems that have less than 2,500 services would be significantly less than for larger systems.
