Pipeline Safety: Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operator Annual Report 
Form

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), Department 
of Transportation.

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.
